"If Honey, I Shrunk the Kids were to get a videogame adaptation, I'm sure it would turn out something like BUGS vs. TANKS! -- once you take away the warfare references, that is. Keiji Inafune, the man who created Mega Man and helped usher in other well-known franchises, serves as the talented mastermind behind BUGS vs. TANKS!, a unique twist on tank warfare with a quirky, historical backdrop (see: World War II events gone wrong). It's a nonsensical concept, made all the more improbable by its dedicated time frame. But that is precisely what helps the game excel to begin with, using this as a springboard to service its terror-inspiring 'reality.' All this potential, though, is wasted on a game so wrapped up in its own one-sided joke that it not only fails to grasp the bigger picture, its abrasive disposition seriously hampers the entire cause." -- Wiiloveit.com
"I’m not really sure what intrigued me so much about Bugs vs. Tanks. Perhaps it’s my real-life fear of bugs and the added satisfaction of blasting them to pieces with a tiny virtual tank. Whatever the case, the game is passable, but it hasn’t aged terribly well," writes Cliff at Game Freaks 365.
Sale on previous eShop titles continues until February 23rd
BUGS vs TANKS! is a top-down action game from Level-5 and Comcept. You best know Comcept as the studio recently formed by Keiji Inafune, the creator of Dead Rising, Mega Man, and other great games from Capcom. BvT! is the second game in the GUILD02 trilogy of experimental games proceeded by last month's The Starship Damrey. The trilogy itself is the second after last year's GUILD01 was released for the Nintendo 3DS. BvT!'s title is self-explanatory, much like PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies games, as you play as a tank well, fighting bugs. Unlike PvZ, BvT! is very much a strategic action game as opposed to a strategic tower defense game.
