Bu, çok sevimli böceklerin çok sevimli olmayan bir zamanda yer aldığı, kolay erişilebilir, hikaye açısından zengin, taktiksel ve takım tabanlı bir rol yapma oyunudur.
100th Bug Brigade is a student project from University of California Santa Cruz. One of the first things students should be taught in game development is that 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid 1990's with dedicated 3D cards like the Voodoo3 and the ATI Rage. But the students were deliberately mistaught that's it's okay to release obsolete 2D games in the 3D era of gaming... certainly any professional developer seeing a prospective new hire who doesn't even know about 3D gaming probably isn't going to give them a job. Needless to say if an educational institution taught me incorrectly on purpose, I'd ask for my money back. This year the students made a visual novel heavy 2D retro pixel (ugh) turn based tactical strategy game with an insect theme. Yeah whatever... a pixel blob is a pixel blob is a pixel blob. Frankly if I spent all that tuition money and got taught by supposed game development teachers that it's okay to dump pixelcrap on Steam because that will get me a real industry job, I'd be completely outraged. Anyway we have to judge this as a game, and it's just a shallow and pointless student project... and an abject failure, if you look at the SteamDB player counts. We also have to question what value there is for gamers on Steam when institutions flood the store with low quality 2D video game homework assignments... sure, it might make the students feel good about themselves, but this has no benefit for gamers who have to wade through this stuff to find professionally made 3D games. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 2 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.

It's free and I beat it in under an hour. Is it deep? No. Is it brilliant writing? No. Is it brilliant tactics? No. Is it mildly entertaining for forty-give minutes? Yes. Which puts it ahead of more games than I'd like.
The game looks interesting, but is too broken to be playable right now. In the second chapter the game froze when I took control of an enemy with a multi-target ability and tried using that ability to finish off two other enemies. And that was after running into multiple other bugs, such as movement being blocked by nothing, or characters still trying to pathfind around enemies that were already killed. If the game ever gets updated, I'll probably give it another try, but as it is now, I can't recommend it.
Definitely has some bugs (lol) but is a decent way to spend 30 minutes to an hour especially for a free student project. Also, it's pretty fun to speedrun
really fun for the 50 or so minutes of playtime! attacks are creative and fit their characters, the story itself is pretty nice, and the humor is good! The characters were fun, and in just a short game, it felt like they grew a lot. only issue was a bug with the movement where sometimes it would just let me move wayyy too far, but other than that, this was great.
A short and sweet game. While unpolished it has fun and unique mechanics, a good story, beautiful pixel art and great character writing. it took me roughly an hour to beat but i enjoyed it.
Игра "100th Bug Brigade" - это увлекательная и немного безумная стратегия в реальном времени, где вы командуете армией насекомых. С первых минут подкупает очаровательный визуальный стиль и юмор, пронизывающий все аспекты игры. Необходимо быстро строить базу, добывать ресурсы и разрабатывать технологии, чтобы не дать вражеским букашкам поглотить вашу колонию. Разнообразие юнитов поражает: от простых муравьев-солдат до летающих мотыльков-бомбардировщиков. Каждый тип насекомых обладает уникальными способностями и требует особого подхода к применению в бою. Бои динамичные и интересные, а необходимость адаптироваться к постоянно меняющейся ситуации заставляет держать руку на пульсе. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, игра предлагает довольно глубокую стратегическую составляющую. Необходимо грамотно распределять ресурсы, учитывать сильные и слабые стороны юнитов и быстро реагировать на действия противника. "100th Bug Brigade" - отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет увлекательную и не слишком сложную стратегию с приятным юмором и необычным сеттингом. Рекомендую!
No Steam achievements at all, which is disappointing for a tactical RPG with multiple battles, characters and story progression. Even with the game's short one-hour length, there were plenty of opportunities for simple achievements for completing battles, defeating bosses, using different abilities or finishing the story. It's a free game, but adding even a small achievement list would have given achievement hunters a little more incentive to play through it.
