The Bug Butcher PC Review – Morbid Play

Whistler writes, "It’s always interesting to see what genres survive the test of time and improve past their 8 bit arcade days, no longer limited to two buttons or roughly three colours and at best a 20 second loop of beeps.

Then there are those that merely emulate old formulas, not necessarily a bad idea but sometimes there are genres that need more than a new paint job to hide how archaic the gameplay has become.

The Bug Butcher by Awfully Nice Studios is a side scrolling shoot ‘em up that emphasizes on verticality à la Space Invaders and has been given a splash of paint conjuring similarities with Alien Hominid."
