About Bashtronaut
Step into the shoes of a new employee at the “pest control” megacorp known as Invader-Be-Gone, Inc. in the arena-based, action experience, Bashtronaut. Employee ED-870 is a Junior Eradicator, and he is attempting something that to his knowledge hasn’t been achieved in ten years at the company: get promoted. It’s not that the opportunities aren’t available for employees in the Eradicators Division, it’s just that every single one has died on the job or quit.
IBG’s green initiative, “Oh no, Ozone!” explicitly restricts any use of Rayguns, Phaser Phlashes, Blaster Rifles, Beam Bangs, and all other contaminant-generating weaponry. Eradicators uphold this vital company value by utilizing low-tech, blunted weaponry when dispatched into the field for a Removal.
A recent internal study found a 95% employee death rate in the Eradicators Division. It’s just a number though. And, it could be worse. The Proofers Division has a 98% rate. What these rates really represent is opportunity.Square up against increasingly hostile invading forces in unique combat encounters all while completing multiple client contracts. Exceptional performances in the field are rewarded with a bonus in company credits which can be used to purchase company-approved upgrades that are sure to make you a more competent Eradicator.
There’s much a new Eradicator must learn, but luckily, you have been taken under the wing of a company legend. Heeding the advice of your mentor, Senior Eradicator ED-575, will be your quickest path to success.
An employee Performance Appraisal follows the fulfillment of any client contract. Management wants all of its employees to succeed and will incentivize exceptional performance. Remember, Management cares, which is why words of inspiration from Management are sent directly to Eradicators when they consume company-approved performance-enhancing products in the field.

Pretty hard but fun game to play. You need an controller.5 found this helpful
I'm surprised that [b]Bashtronaut[/b] seems to have just slipped through the cracks It has a really great aesthetic, parodies corporate America in a similar (though admittedly not nearly as strong) way as Robocop, and a solid hack-and-slash foundation really ties it all together. It's far from a perfect game and there are a few questionable design choices but nothing that breaks the foundation. It looks like it was doing the Early Access thing, so maybe there was some sort of troubled history I missed? Anyway, I really liked the game! [b]Bashtronaut[/b] is an overhead hack-and-slash arena game. Through a series of 40 rooms (plus 3 tutorial rooms), you have to smash, dodge, and counter various space monsters and robots. Defeat every monster that appears in each room and continue onto the next one. We've all seen this a thousand times, you know how this works. I won't even attempt to claim this game is breaking new ground. It does do this very well though! The rhythm of the game does take a little bit of time to get use to. You can't just hammer the attack buttons the whole time because of a stamina bar. Usually, you can get a three hit combo going, possibly one more swi…3 found this helpful

[h1]Bash me not, for I am a Bashtronaut![/h1] [h3]Success is not an option. I both can AND will out class the IBG corporation in due time...[/h3] *Big thanks to the Dev for providing me a free key, however my review is my 100% honest thoughts with the game* Bashtronaut is a fun, wacky space themed hack and slash game filled with retro love, nostalgia and arcade aesthetic. The universe and jokes it lives in tells an entertaining story that keeps you interested what you'll find next. Each level is quite short and simple, but don't let that fool you. This games difficulty quickly ramps up right after the games tutorial hub (World 1). Parry timing is forgiving, Controls are responsive, but confusing at times especially for Keyboard and mouse (this most likely is just a skill issue on my part lol), your Health will be very crucial to your playthrough as there's few consumables that will replenish it and the health carries over from level to level and world to world. With a massive emphasis on Stamina you will rely on parrying and dodging to get away Scott-free (they don't cost stamina, only attacks do). Items make for a fun way to change up the gameplay and ease up the difficult mom…
