About Bugs Must Die / 异星特勤队


"Bugs Must Die" is a frantically-paced pixel art twin-stick shooter with 80s & 90s arcade style.As a spiritual successor to Konami’s top-down jeep gunning action title "Jackal",Bugs Must Die brings gamers the nostalgia of old school gaming experience.

Story Mode, Challenge Mode, and Hell Mode will bring well over 10 hours of gameplay.



  • Story Mode: 16 levels with one boss per level, clearing all the levels will unlock all characters!
  • Challenge Mode: 8 levels with one boss per level. In addition to the 16 bosses from Story Mode, you’ll encounter additional secret bosses randomly. To come across all available bosses, Challenge Mode is a must!
  • Hell Mode: Start this mode only with one basic weapon. The more levels that you pass the greater the loot!


Gamers Of Any Levels Can Pass the Story Mode!



  • Hardcore gamers: Try to beat the game using just the basic weapons-show off your superb skills.
  • Average gamers: Never fear! Spend coins obtained from missions to update your vehicles and weapons to take down the bugs with ease.

Different characters to choose from! Equip them with various weapons to show off your unique fighting style!


  • 2 Mantis Agents that have completely different fixed weapon systems and rolling dodge mechanisms.
  • 3 powerful vehicles: Equip up to 6 main weapons and 9 sub-weapons, but that’s not all! Equip a “Battle Core” which deploys when your vehicle is destroyed to keep the fight going!
  • 4 major categories of equipment with more than 35 options. Did we mention the superweapon !? It launches a full-screen attack! BOOOOOOM!!!



All Bosses are parodies of East-West classic culture icons!

Bugs Must Die, I mean everything WILL die eventually, but these bugs MUST die, because they are like evil and will break your tank, but not all bugs are evil and must die, some of them are ok https://youtu.be/prxv9aaLzhI

Not a bad game. But there are a lot of bugs and balancing. The campaign is quite short. Some bugs affect the achievement of the game. It is too short a game and it takes a long time for the achievements to pass. Some things are meaningless or make others meaningless. The campaign is difficult at first but then becomes easy. It has great potential but still needs to be developed. I hope there is a second part. They could make the cart move faster. A nice discount game is good.

Decent game. My rule is usually (not always) to recommend or not based on the regular price and not a sale price. But I will give this game an exception because its borderline and when things are borderline I believe it is best to err on the side of positivity and grace. With that said, this game does some dumb @ss $h!t. See the perfect formula for this kind of twin stick top down shooter game has been established. The formula is this; 1)Melee attack for close range attack and/or knock-back, 2)Main ranged attack, 3)Secondary ranged AOE attack, 4)Cool-down/charge up Special, 5)Dash/dodge move AND 6)Parry/defend action. The best progression is to start with the melee weapon, quickly unlock the main gun, then unlock the secondary and so forth in that order and then new options through drops and looting chests etc. These Devs were like, nah that would be too much fun, instead we will go half way with ya, you get your main ranged, your secondary AOE and a charge up Special, but as far as dash move, melee or defend/parry action, you get to PICK ONE and just wish you had the others...because you know, it is not possible to have a defend/parry ability AND a melee action AND a dash mo…

I want to recommend this game but I really don't feel it would be right. There is a lot of good here, different vehicles, escape pods, weapons, sub-weapons, drones, upgrades, etc. However, the balance is completely insane. There are weapons and subs that you simply ALWAYS use because the others just don't provide the DPS. There is little reason to use most of the weapons because they effectively all do the same thing. Or so similar that there really isn't any point. The bugs in this game drove me insane. Took me forever to get past the cowboy boss because whatever trigger(s) are supposed to exist... don't trigger. Lots of time powerups land in lava pools and other places you can't reach. You get resources but they come at such a ridiculously imbalanced way. I made the mistake of being REALLY good at twin-stick shooters and hit a wall around map 11... bashed my skull against the wall until I realized I had to go back to Stage 5 and repeatedly grind it for resources. Then I could unlock some necessary stuff... at which point I plowed through the final 5 stages on the first try. The graphics, story, animations, music, creativity... it's all there! But this game needs several mor…

Fun. But darn difficult. For the price I would say yes. But only if you really enjoy twinstick shooter style games. A couple of stages are even a complete nightmare! Could do with more upgrades but I did manage to beat the game!! Check out my review on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP4ptY2gojc I give this game an 81/100

Did you say bugs must die? Just use pesticide, way better than trying to shoot the buggers!
