This is such a perfect encapsulation of a literal rogue-like shooter. 10/10. No notes

"Beetle Hunter" is either a student project or an asset flip or something... the assets look a bit too good compared to the quality of the game, well, more on that later. What's it about? This is a pretty simple kind of "boomer shooter" thing with a small array of guns, a small array of enemies, some procgen thrown in... it's a bit of an incoherent mess. And why do we want to play this? It's not completely certain. Since the controls can't be customized, this makes the game inaccessible for a wide range of gamers, including those who are left-handed, have physical impairments, or use international keyboard layouts. Developers have a responsibility to ensure gamers can customise their experience with the game. The game assets here look a lot better than the actual game they're assembled on... that doesn't mean this is necessarily an asset flip or a kitbash, because there's no proof. But what matters is that this has all the same terrible quality as asset flips, and at the end of the day that's one of the reasons people don't like asset flips, the quality is bad. That's a problem. Now onto pricing and value. Most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's usually s…

Игра 'Beetle Hunter' – это неожиданно захватывающая аркада! Сначала может показаться, что просто собираешь жуков, но механика геймплея быстро затягивает. Разнообразие жуков, каждый со своими особенностями и ценностью, добавляет глубины и азарта. Постоянное улучшение снаряжения и прокачка персонажа мотивируют играть дольше. Графика, хотя и простая, приятна глазу, а управление интуитивно понятно. Саундтрек ненавязчивый и хорошо дополняет геймплей. Игра идеально подходит для коротких сессий, чтобы расслабиться и отвлечься. Единственный минус – хотелось бы больше разнообразия в локациях. В остальном, 'Beetle Hunter' – отличная игра, которая зацепит любителей казуальных аркад и коллекционирования. Рекомендую попробовать!
