Andrew N from Negative World says: "Keiji Inafune has had a lot to say about the state of the Japanese video game industry in recent years, and little of it is positive. His biggest complaint is that Japanese developers are afraid to evolve, instead trying to live off of their past glories, and he feels that fresh new concepts with a global appeal are what Japan needs. This viewpoint led to Inafune’s departure from Capcom and the creation of comcept, a brand new development house dedicated to pursuing his vision. Bugs vs. Tanks! is one of comcept’s first games, and to be quite honest, it is not exactly what I envisioned when I first heard Inafune’s strong words. But is it any good?"
"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.
