About Pest Control

Pest Control is a combination of a simulator and a turn-based strategy, where the main task of the player is to get rid of pests .. Every assignment is a war - small, hairy, full of fangs and legs. Pests have no mercy. When Lenny finds himself alone with them, they only want one thing: to tear him apart! Yes... the job of an exterminator is a challenge! Remember, they are closer than you think!

Key features:

  • An extensive system for creating machines, traps, sprays and weapons
    (Collect parts, modify and improve, you have a whole arsenal at your disposal, from a hammer to a remote-controlled robot)
  • A total of 87 missions (side, story, adventure)
    (Various types of tasks: neutralize, capture, chase, get rid of any way you want, clean traces)
  • 39 different locations
    (Villas, ruined apartments, camping sites, warehouses and others)
  • 24 pests
    (From a rat to a shape-shifting raccoon)
  • Base together with day and night system
    (Grow your company's headquarters by improving rooms, but remember - time is money!)
  • Unique ways to fight each pest
    (Set traps, use a swatter or a vacuum cleaner, it’s up to you to choose a method)
  • A wide range of sprays
    (To get rid of impurities or weaken the opponent, use one of the six substances available in the game)
  • Skill tree
    (Grow your character as a scientist and engineer, and improve his passive skills)
  • Additional game modes
    (In addition to story missions and regular tasks, you have special modes, such as: adventure, terror and tower defense)

Build traps

In the heart of your office you will find a laboratory and a workshop where you can design and modify the most sophisticated traps. The materials that will be used for this can be found in the store as well as during missions. Those can be later used to upgrade traps and weapons.

Discover the city

You start your work in one of the Cherryhood districts, but as you progress and your reputation grows, you will gain access to new parts of the city. There, of course, the orders will be paid better and the items found will be more and more interesting. The battlefront of your fight with pests runs through home rooms, hotels, factories, laboratories, warehouses and many other unique locations.

Upgrade your headquarters

Everyone needs a place to return to after work, so you have your own base that you can upgrade. Each of the rooms (gym, laboratory, scrapper) can be expanded, which will bring you new bonuses!

Catch pests

The tasks are different: sometimes it’s a simple neutralization, sometimes you have to catch a living animal, but each pest requires a different approach. Many of them also have their version on steroids, much stronger and more dangerous than a standard representative. Also, remember to clean up after work: get rid of excrement, lairs, nests, corpses... Nobody likes it when you have to clean up after professionals.

PS. During the game creation no animals were harmed.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Pest Control suffers from significant technical and design problems that frustrate players from the start, including excessive file size, performance issues, crashes, and an unclear tutorial that fails to explain core mechanics adequately. While some players acknowledge the game has potential with decent art, music, and gameplay concepts underneath, most recommend avoiding it entirely or waiting for substantial improvements, as the clunky interface and confusing progression make it difficult to progress past the initial stages.

The steam desciption says the game needs 6 GB of hard disk space - actually it eats up 26 GB! GPU load is always 100%. Game chrashed in the tutorial after 13 minutes of play time (version 0.65, September 2021) I applied for a refund, even if I had bought it at 90% discount.

Poor game. The quality would be acceptable for early access, but certainly not for a fully released game. The tutorial is not helpful, it just displays all the information at once, plus it's not very clear. Then you'll very often not understand what is happening and what you're supposed to do. I haven't been able to complete a single level, because the game always gets somehow stuck and doesn't let me do anything. Avoid this game. At least for now.

This would be my first review actually for real so.... I will go straight to the point, the game has potential. It's understandable that the game has still many issues but I want to believe devs will make it better. Music is good Gameplay is fine, Easy to learn / Hard to master. HUD is fine Art is fine Graphics is decent. Price: ☑ If it is on sale. Bugs: ☑ Some bugs. My issues for now: > too laggy (default setting, i run tx1050, core i5 7th gen when i played this) >I had issues about alt tabbing/switching app, it's hard. > It takes so much time to end the contract (or maybe just for me since I'm not an turn-based tactics/tactical rpg expert) My only problem of tutorials is that they just stuffed it there everything. Maybe it will be better if the tutorial will only shows up whenever you do something for the first time like visiting the market, or when nighttime reached and etc. Is Pest Control worth it? As of now only if it is on sale I will give it 6/10 I will leave it as recommended cause it passed my standard (6/10) But I hope people would consider before buying this. If you don't play this kind of genre and you want to try it, find some other game.

It's hard to recommend this game when it feels so clunky. The tutorial doesn't help. You really don't know what you're doing. Progression seems really weird. In hindsight, likely not something I would have bought had I played a demo. Very unfortunate as I was looking forward to playing this, but it just doesn't work.

Boring. Yeah, I did not play very much so maybe something better is hidden beyond endless tutorials. But I am never going to be playing this again.
