Buggos 2

This is a good improvement on the formula of the first game! Moving off the nutrient system and onto the spawn-timer/pop cap system lets you do much more interesting tactics with the game. The new skill tree is also much more thoughtfully laid out than the first game. People complaining about stalemates and dead locks don't understand the game's mechanics. Yes, the humans get lots of tools to stop you late game, but you also get lots of tools to circumvent them. Flying units can be used to go around stalemates and take out human buildings from behind. Artillery can be used to knock out structures, shred armor, and knock down stalemates. Wasps can be used to start a new base at the back end of the map, creating two fronts for you to annihilate with. But all that is only possible if you understand how the evolutions change the game play, and if you understand how to toggle your spawners on and off to control what your population count is going towards. If you want to beat Impossible difficulty without breaking a sweat: go pure structures. Exploding pustules, super artillery, super builders, caustic creep. Your population cap will exceed 10k of super fast builders who lay down waves of caustic creep, your artillery will annihilate the enemy base over the walls, and the pustules will evaporate even the tankiest damage sponges. If you want to make it more interesting, dip into swarmers and spitters for some extra control of the battlefield. This game is great if you want a more casual RTS, or if you ever wanted to play as the bugs in protolife.

Buggos 2 is a simplified RTS in that you don't command units individually or activate any abilities, the focus is on macro, unit composition, and research tree. It is really fun and simple, I liked killing humans with alien bug monsters. Performance was perfect on my PC. I would really like to see a Buggos 3 that expands the gameplay by making humans a playable faction and adding 8 player multiplayer and AI skirmish games

Possibly the most fun I've had playing any RTS. The levels are fun but challenging, the units are all unique in their own ways, and overall I'd say it's worth a buy. Only thing I wish is for a longer campaign, but that's why custom levels exsist. Harder levels would be nice, since the average I spent on each was from a minute to 17 in the later missions

This is a woefull 2nd attempt at the game, they've nerfed every unit and bufffed every enemy, sucked all the fun right out of it

its good but like, its 6 hours. and thats with 30 minutes of a survival run? I don't recommend I'd recommend at $5 Skill tree is cool, and multiple 'valid' strategies from trying different bugs out.

The higher difficulties of the game do not seem particularly well thought out and lead to boring gameplay patterns of just sitting and watching while you make extremely slowly make progress over the course of an hour, a lot of the changes are purely downgrades from Buggos 1 for double the price, cannot recommend the game in this state. No game that values your time has you start a map with 4x spawn rate on a building making the strongest enemy unit on the back of the map, it is insulting and was my breaking point

Really wish their was a neutral option for ranking games but their isn't. Simply put, the first 1/2 or 2/3rds of this game is a lot of fun. After that this game is very specific in the kind of gamer its aiming for, and that is the glutton for punishment gamer. Later missions require precise moves and setups in order to win, and arguably a bit of luck. The only way to learn that on any given mission is hours of effort. If you have that kind of free time, more power to you, but personally I don't. Which ultimately means part of the game is simply inaccessible. This is too bad as I personally love RTS games and finding one without a unit cap is nigh impossible. So if you are considering buying this game my advice to you is: If you never finish games, this is a very fun RTS; If you do finish games this RTS turns more into a puzzle game on a timer were a mistake forces you to restart.

I want to love Buggos 2. As someone who genuinely adored the first game, jumping into the sequel felt like stepping into an alternate universe where the developers looked at everything that made the original fun and deliberately flipped it upside down. Instead of fulfilling the power fantasy of commanding an overwhelming, unstoppable swarm, Buggos 2 delivers a frustrating, claustrophobic slog that too often resembles a cheap mobile game. Progression feels deeply out of sync, with evolution points failing to keep up with how aggressively the game spikes in difficulty, turning what should be fun strategic experimentation into a grinding chore. The issues compound from there into every core mechanic: Clunky Controls: Rather than refining or upgrading the control scheme, the sequel introduces even more cumbersome, half-assed swarm management that makes keeping your units out of trouble an active chore. Aggravating Level Design & Chokepoints: The maps are aggressively claustrophobic, packed with obvious, forced chokepoints that completely ruin the fluid, organic expansion of the original title. The Absolute Worst Addition—Fire: The game introduces fire early on, and it lingers painfully long after the enemy unit that caused it is already dead. Because of the forced chokepoints, your swarm pathing funnels right into these death zones, turning your bugs into ash before they can even engage. Brutal Difficulty Spikes: To top it all off, the campaign hits you with sudden, punishing difficulty spikes and overlapping hazard zones that shred your forces with very little room for counterplay. It honestly feels like the developers decided the first game was "too fun" and engineered every system here to grind your patience down. A major, major disappointment for fans of the original.

ALiens!!
