Buckshot Roulette

About Buckshot Roulette

Buckshot Roulette is a chance-based indie survival game where the shotgun becomes the fateful dice for each bet. Players will enter a mysterious room, sit in front of the monstrous Dealer and face the tense and suffocating pulls of the trigger.

Buckshot Roulette – When Lottery Shooting And Horror Meet

Put an end to the loud gunfights and intricate role-playing games. The basic survival instincts—fear, greed, and a sliver of hope—are all that remain after Buckshot Roulette removes all the ostentatious layers. This game isn't for the weak of heart.

You walk into a stuffy, dark room with just enough light to make out what's on the table: a solitary buckshot bullet and a heavy shotgun. Sitting opposite is the dealer with an unpredictable smile. The rules of the game are brutal to the point of being naked: two people take turns placing bets, spinning the magazine and pointing the barrel at themselves. The survivor will embrace victory.

Shoot Or Be Shot? A Choice In A Split Second...

Story Mode

Consists of 3 rounds. The first round is easy to get used to, from round two tactical items begin to appear. Losing in round two will be revived, but in round three is Sudden Death - winning leaves with a suitcase of money, losing is the end.

Double Or Nothing

Unlocked after completing Story Mode. Each round is tense with many new items. Win to take the money, lose to return to the starting point. Continue or stop is completely up to you to decide.

Multiplayer

Supports up to 4 players. Each person can take advantage of items to turn the situation around, creating more chaotic and dramatic matches than ever.

Brutal But Captivating Rules

Contrary to its simple appearance, Buckshot Roulette contains many layers of deep tactics that make players unable to take their eyes off.

• Choose a Role: You can play as a Demon (free) to challenge the Dealer, or become a Dealer (usually need to watch an ad to unlock) and test your strength against your opponent in a life-or-death battle of wits.
• Coin of Destiny: Each round starts with a coin toss to decide who goes first. That moment alone is enough to make your heart beat faster.
• Bet and Decide: Before each turn, you have to place a bet. What makes it different from traditional Russian Roulette is the choice: dare to pull the trigger yourself or point the gun at your opponent? Each action contains risks, rewards and extreme tension.
• Rotate the Cylinder: After each shot, the cylinder is rotated, making all predictions meaningless. Everything depends on fate.
• Tactical Items: From the second round onwards, many items appear to help you change the situation:
• Magnifying glass to see if the bullet is real or empty.
• Beer helps to “unload” the gun barrel without losing a turn.
• Hand saw makes the shot more damaging if it is definitely real bullet.
• Handcuffs lock the opponent, taking away the next turn.
• Adrenaline allows to steal items from others.

These items turn each shot into a battle of wits, where wisdom is sometimes more important than luck.

End: With just a “BANG!” sound, the game ends immediately. There are no spare lives, no second chances. It is that cruelty that makes every decision in Buckshot Roulette expensive and unforgettable.

Feeling Real To The Bone

What makes Buckshot Roulette soulful is the way it simulates the feeling of holding and using a shotgun.

Simple But Emotional Mouse Operation: With just a computer mouse, you can experience the whole process: click and drag to reload, click and hold to pull the trigger, slowly rotate the magazine. Each action has a certain delay and "heavy" feeling, making your hand tremble when performing.

Sound and Image: The hollow click of the trigger when the bullet misses, the dry sound of rotating the magazine, and of course, the ear-piercing BANG! when the bullet explodes. The image is simple with the perspective第一人称 (first person) but extremely effective in pushing the player into a tense, haunting atmosphere.

Survival Strategy: Not Just Luck

Although it relies mainly on luck, experienced players will know how to "buy time" and create advantages for themselves. Placing high bets can confuse opponents, or deciding to shoot opponents at key moments can be a risky move that can change your life. The longer you play, the higher the probability of the bullet exploding, so you have to consider between finishing off your opponent quickly or accept the risk for yourself.

Conclusion

Buckshot Roulette is a short but haunting game where each spin of the barrel is accompanied by a sharp intake of breath. The dealer, the shotgun, and the small items on the table create a vortex of tension that is hard to break. Like Baldi's Basics, Side Effects, and That's Not My Neighbor, this game shows the indie game's sharpness in turning outlandish ideas into unforgettable experiences.
