Whether you want to casually roll through and blow up some insects on the easy setting, or wrack your brain to test your mettle with manual shooting and an insanely difficult campaign, BUGS vs. TANKS! offers a little something for everyone.
Does exactly what it sets out to do. We're just not entirely sure if that qualifies as a success. [Sept 2013, p.89]
Bugs vs. Tanks! seems to have all the feats of a good game, but the final result is a non-intriguing shooter which doesn't know what wants to be, if a super fast action game or a deep and complicated simulation.
To poor attention to detail, Bugs vs Tanks! adds bad controls and even worst graphics. The gameplay itself is boring and simplistic, and can't offer a good challenge to the player.
In the end if you forget that you’re playing as World War II Germans, and you play a mission or two at a time, there’s some fun to be had in there now and then, even if it is bug sized and not as complex as an actual tank. That being said, the overall experience isn’t a particularly good one.
Bugs vs Tanks! is a great B-Movie idea in search of a game to do it justice, but this just isn’t it.
You might think that I'm overreacting, that I should just look at Bugs vs Tanks as some silly little downloadable oddity, that I should put politics aside and just focus on the game play. I mean, inherent ideology aside, what you've got here is essentially Earth Defense Force-lite, but shrunk down to its basic components so that it fits on the 3DS — and God knows I love EDF.
