It was released on Steam by Critical Reflex on April 4, 2024, to coincide with a new update. The game has been likened to the 2021 roguelike game Inscryption, featuring gritty and industrial visuals as opposed to Inscryption’s more rustic and mythical style.

Round 1 consists of a simple game of chance, with no items except the Shotgun. The Player and the Dealer begin with two charges each. The number and type of shells is predetermined, but their order is random.

The game consists of three rounds. At the start of each round, the computer-controlled Dealer loads the shotgun with a certain number of red live shells and grey blanks in a random order. The player then chooses to either shoot the Dealer or themselves.

Buckshot Roulette quickly gained popularity on Twitch and TikTok, which subsequently led to increased popularity on YouTube. It has been noted for its similarity to Inscryption, with multiple reviewers commending the strategic element introduced by the game’s item system.
