Buckshot Roulette Review (PC)
Mike Klubnika’s itch.io classic, Buckshot Roulette, comes to PC on April 4 as a horror-inducing reimagination of Russian Roulette.
A clever and creepy take on the classic game of Russian Roulette.
Written by: Tanay Reviewed by: Danielupdated April 9, 2024, 4:34 amBuckshot Roulette starts with a promise that resembles a post-graduate game dev project. Or, rather, the promising return of tabletop games to modern-day gaming. Thereās a vision, thereās a theme, but thereās almost an open-ended nothingness to it. You walk out of a bathroom that looks like a crime scene into what resembles a Russian nightclub from the 1980s.
The rules may seem simple, but the AI is complex yet merciful. You then enter a room, and as the music fades into the background, youāre greeted by a creepy, enigmatic character called the Dealer. What follows is an explanation of the gameās rules.

Schrƶdingerās Shotgun, and the 50-50 chance of wanting more
The items make the game twice as engaging the moment theyāre introduced. These items shift the gameās skillset more than youād expect them to. The magnifying glass lets you see what kind of round the shotgun is holding. The handcuffs stop the Dealer from playing the next round.

Is Buckshot Roulette good?
Given how luck isnāt in your favor at all times, the gameās moments of victory always feel awesome! Buckshot Roulette can be extremely fun unless, like me, youāre curious enough to know the deal with the Dealer and everything else thatās going on. The pixel-esque art with gloomy colors is an intentional choice, and that gives me reason enough to believe that the art direction here was well thought out.
