Buckshot Roulette Reviews
Buckshot Roulette is undoubtedly a horror production, although it does not scare in the traditional sense of the word. Yes, the rusty, somewhat blurry, fuzzy and grain-covered images arouse considerable anxiety, and the muffled background music emphasizes the dark atmosphere. The greatest fear and stress, however, is induced by randomness. If we put the barrel of a shotgun to our lips, will we survive? If we shoot at the dealer, will we hit a sharp cartridge? Although the described elements may not sound convincing, take my word for it - the whole audiovisual setting, combined with uncertainty and slow pace, can make your heart beat faster. As if that weren't enough, in the course of a double-stakes game, nerves grow with each successive game, increasing tension and stress to the limit.

Buckshot Roulette is a short game with plenty of appeal, whether through its replayability, strategy, or grisly charm.
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.
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.
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 it won’t be the best hour of gameplay you experience this year, it’ll probably be one of the more memorable.
Buckshot Roulette is an intriguing darkly themed gambling game. The stakes are high for thrill-seekers and those who are a little curious about Russian Roulette, it could just be what they seek when they take a gamble with The Dealer deep in the underground club.
Buckshot Roulette is simple in design, but its dark and unsettling premise is executed perfectly to ensure each game you play is full of thrills. It might not take long to find success, but the surprisingly strategic gameplay and endless replayability offered in the Double or Nothing mode will ensure you’ll get plenty of bang for your buck (literally) when playing. It is a shame that the narrative isn’t built upon and some unlockables in the Double or Nothing mode would go a long way in adding to the replayability, but it’s hard to complain too much with the low-price of the game. If you’re a fan of shorter experiences that offer a unique and clever premise, you’ll definitely want to check Buckshot Roulette out – ESPECIALLY since multiplayer should be coming in the future.
Buckshot Roulette is a very short experience, but one that is worth trying out. A uniquely interesting premise that will keep you busy for a couple of hours. Hopefully the developer can expand on this some more, as there is potential for expansion here.
