Every once in a while comes a game that will considerably change your life in a very short amount of time. The previous generations hadRussian Roulette, ours has something calledBuckshot Roulette.I have only tried one of those, so my assertion is highly biased, but I findBuckshot Rouletteto be the superior pick of the two.
Buckshot Rouletteuses the overall concept ofRussian Roulettebut replaces the puny revolver with a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun. The result is naturally much messier, but that’s not the only difference. It’s also both a horroranda tabletop experience.
How does Buckshot Roulette play?
Interestingly, this isn’t an action game.BRis a tabletop game where you enter the dingiest nightclub ever, see the gun getting loaded with a certain number of rounds in an unknown order, and hope for the best as you face off against the dealer. It’s not as simple as just a game of randomly taking turns, but, as with all things horror, it’s all best left unspoiled.Buckshot Rouletteis rather original — as a video game, at least — but, if I’m to compare it to anything else out there, I’d go with saying it’s sure to please fans ofInscryption.
A full playthrough will likely not take you more than 20 minutes — yes, even if you don’t blow yourself up.
It plays just like a real tabletop game would, down to it featuring pretty much no interface clutter. All the information that you get, you get from the game.
The devs also assure players that even though the results of the game are unpredictable due to the random factor involved, the AI doesn’t know more than it should. The dealer is a very unsettling creature, but it plays fair.
Even though this is an indie game through and through, developer Mark Klubnika warns that you must own what they call a “relatively modern” dedicated graphics card that features Vulkan support.
