Вполне сойдет, но лучше сразу обратить внимание на Empires of the Undergrowth.
When i found this game during a special sale i thought that like most games in this price range this one will be a haphazardly cobbled together heap of barely playable junk but might as well give it a try. And this assumption was 100% wrong. Beetle Uprising is the beetle equivalent of Empire of the Undergrowth and then somehow manages to slightly outpace EotU on basically everything it scores on (aside from optimization). Where EotU gives you slight variations and behavioral changes in your ants, one of Beetle Uprisings core mechanics IS the genetic variance and behavioral changes you induce in your beetles. Instead of EotU's architectural management of the hive in BU you directly interact and decorate the nest and directly give your beetles food toys sleeping places and grooming tools adding a slight virtual pet aspect to the game. Only con i have encountered so far is resource availability so far i control 6 areas and even after completely plundering them i can still barely keep my nest from running deficits for the moment. Absolute recommendation including outside of sales!

The gameplay for this is solid and very nostalgic. It's fun trying to mutate your beetles to be the best they can be. The UI is a bit rough but if you can get past that the game is a good time for anyone that wants a break from shooting or slashing. If you want something more strategic (like Dungeon Keeper) try "Empires of the Undergrowth" also published by Slug Disco.
The most confusing game I have ever played. When you start you get a few big walls of images and text explaining the UI of the game and how certain things work (instead of an immersive gameplay tutorial). Once you have read everything you are left there with 2 starter beetles and the task to guess what comes next ... Of course you would go straight for missions and other things on the map. The beetles often failed and they always brought back only food. But your beetles Bronk and Hedgwir here need beds and toys to fill up their sleep and play bars ... that's a problem ... neither of those items were obtained after doing these missions TONS of times. They both got increasingly angry (orange then red) and then they didn't want to go on any more missons. End of the game there? For me it was because I'm not continuing on that. You don't either have 'goop' to fight the first enemy or a way to level up without waiting 10 years. Feels like a bad version of an idle game. My advice: go for a game that is more player-friendly! I hope I can refund it still.
I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOVE BEETLES
тут надо растить колонию жуков и выполнять миссии. рекомендую для того чтобы просто убить время.по своему скучно, но на пару вечеров хватит.
I just got out of doing empires of the undergrowth, came to this game, expecting some strategy and manipulating DNA to make the strongest beetles in an RTS game. I was very saddly mistaken, as this isn't any of that, it's a daycare game of taking care of a terrarium of beetles, where you must go out and hunt for items to take care of their needs. I'm very very confused.
i like beetle
One of those games you think will be funa nd progressive however you just end up thinking you missed something and start over again and again until you realize it isn't you. 35 hours later and I can say IT. IS. ALL. KINDS. OF. BAD. Seems like one of the last updates was to add cheats (seems like developer knew). Happy other gaming everyone. Sorry dev, great idea; beautiful beetles but poor game progression. Congrats though, you made one of my lists: 'Not These Devs'
