Battle Bugs description

Battle Bugs is a tactical game about the plight of the everyday life of the insects. The game was created under DOS and has nice graphics, cartoon design happening and interesting gameplay. Battle Bugs gives us the opportunity to feel the commander of the order of insects whose sole purpose is survival in this harsh world. But for survival, as you know, need food! For it we have to fight the enemy factions in this fun game.

The story itself in the game. There are two groups of insects: green (good) and red (bad). Of course, it is impossible to determine who is actually good and who is bad, because both parties are exactly the same, which clearly makes fun of the former war between real people. On each level you have to capture all the types of food available on a makeshift battlefield. It can be burgers and chips that had fallen on the floor from the table, or the sandwich forgotten by someone at the picnic, and other remnants of the human types of food. To capture the resource needed to maintain life support squad, your insects should install it on their flag. Then the food is considered to be yours by right, but do not forget that the enemy does not sleep and in turn tries to set a flag and your off. It is clear that in any case this cannot be allowed, and all enemy attempts to do this need to stop immediately, resorting to easy violence.

By the way, about violence. Despite the fact that the game has a pretty serious combat and tactical elements, all performed in a fun and comical style. Fighting insects using both your own fists and heavy weapons - like sticks of dynamite or small bombs. A fight between insects looks like fun, and similar to the judges in children's cartoons. Two opponents start hitting each other with their fists (and sometimes other body parts), until one of them will be sent down. Joy in the fighting, on top of that add explosions, also made in a cartoon style, with departing that says "KABOOM!". Add here the caricature HUD like in reality assembled small insects from watches, calculators and other human technology. The General idea and graphic design – just lovely sight!

As mentioned above, despite the grotesqueness, the game has a strong tactical element. And if the first missions are performed effortlessly in the future will have to think carefully, especially as the time to complete missions is limited. However, for successful completion you will be equipped with insect order, for each mission the squad will be different, and it was changing depending on the task. We need to beat? Here's a couple of mantids. Need to grab a Burger before the arrival of the enemy? Please, here's a couple quick bugs and ants squad for the distraction.

It is impossible to ignore and a large number of insect species, each of which has its own parameters, such as speed, power, survivability and their ability. Through this approach, each soldier has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, the mantis can deal with many opponents in melee, but slow. The mosquito, in contrast, is quite fragile, but it was not created to fight and to fly. Thus, correct placement of the troops – the key to victory in battle.

But that's not all. Design insects made on the five plus. It's not just any bugs - every bug is unique and has its prototype in the real army. Ant is an ordinary soldier, in some way, a universal combat unit. Grasshopper – a local green beret, with high attack and low armor; it is sent to the Inferno is to clean up the mess before the main attack. The mosquito fighter pilots. Flea – skydiver. Spider – commando. Chickweed – demolition. And so on. Diversity so much that the eyes diverge. You can also see the Commander of the army - in the battles he's really not involved. This is an old bug in a cloak, with a beard and a pointer, constantly watching through the mini-TV brand "FONY" (any coincidence with reality is pure coincidence).

And, perhaps, dignity Battle Bugs can be considered to be its simplicity in terms of the player. All actions are performed with the mouse, so you can sit in a chair and drink tea, simultaneously solving the level puzzle and watching the battle with your fighters. The moment I think the main fun of the game. And a time limit in this situation – plus. You can run a few errands, relax and continue to do important things.
