Buckshot Roulette has tension and drama, enough strategy to make gameplay not fully dependent on luck, and the fact that the dealer doesn’t always make the right move just puts it over the top. While there’s currently not much content as it’s still under development, the joy in its simple, ruthless premise makes it an easy recommendation regardless.

Providing a short but semi-sweet experience, Buckshot Roulette ups the stakes and the fire power of Russian roulette. While the opportunities for deeper strategies often become muddled by the core mechanic of luck, there are still some worthwhile white-knuckled moments that will test your mettle.

Buckshot Roulette is easily one of the year's most pleasant surprises, even if everything about its presentation is the opposite of "pleasant," ironically. It's a unique gem that puts a further twist on an already twisted bit of gambling, with gameplay that requires a sharp memory, a strategic mind and the occasional prayer towards Lady Luck. Throw in a warped industrial style that gives everything an eerie look and feel, and you have a delightfully deranged game more than worth taking a gamble on.

Fantastic game. The uncertainty of the gameplay loop is very engaging. The multiplayer mode is also very fun and works very well. I like how there is no chat or anything, just playing against players. The visual and sound design also add to the game's atmosphere.

Buckshot Roulette is an oddly addicting beast. What starts as a series of frustrating dice rolls quickly progresses into a gripping, sinister experience that commands you to keep at it and master its dark payload. It quickly became a game I wanted to run in a window alongside other things, an interstitial challenge I can summon at will. The horrifying maw of the Dealer loomed in the darkness, and I was hungry to keep finding creative ways to force feed him buckshot.

While a few aspects of Buckshot Roulette won’t work for some like the art style, I loved the game, and my main complaint is the lack of Steam Cloud support right now. It plays and looks great on Steam Deck from start to finish and is an easy recommendation at its low asking price. I’m glad I didn’t look into it before playing, because Buckshot Roulette has been one of the nicest surprises of 2024 so far on Steam Deck. I look forward to checking out the multiplayer and console ports later this year.

A short and simple game that's incredibly fun. It's not too hard but it's not too easy either, the items are fun and unique, and the multiplayer mode is very fun with friends and strangers. Given how cheap this game is, if you've never played it before, I highly recommend that you do.

Buckshot Roulette-невероятно простой и при этом трудный "ремейк" легендарной русской рулетки. Дарящая вам невероятный игровой опыт игра совмещает в себе элементы хоррора, веселья и просто заставляет мозги работать. Напрягите извилины и сыграйте дилером в русскую рулетку!

Buckshot Roulette is short if you know what you’re doing, but like any good gambling addiction, you can’t help but come back for more.

While the boomshtick might wear out its welcome with enough rounds spent, it’ll always have a place for those with an attraction to trying their luck, proving that a good concept, when fleshed out just enough, can say all it needs to leave a lasting impression. If you’ve got an itchy trigger finger and are craving a fatal game of chance, Buckshot Roulette serves its purpose and shows promise for so much more down the line.

Its creepy art style and unsettling atmosphere will immediately draw you into Buckshot Roulette — but it's its quick-and-dirty Russian roulette gameplay that will keep you coming back. It's easy to play, but to succeed you'll need to keep your wits about you, and that makes for a really successful little game.

Great game, it has a lot of tension and it boosts strategic and logic tactics to beat the Dealer. The items add up more competitiveness and adrenaline. I highly recommend this game, if you think this game is too violent, go with your mom and cry to her.

buen juego e idea pero se vuelve muy repetitivo después de 10 horas además ya casi nadie lo juega en el modo online.

This extra firepower, and more importantly the different mechanics in handling a shotgun compared to a revolver, offers a fresh take on the classic an... Read More
