Bugs Must Die: A Modern Retro Top Down Shooter

The demo is now available on the official website of Dragonglass Games Workshop

Sep 21, 2018 Dragonglass Games Workshop, a Shanghai based indie game studio, revealed the demo of their first indie title Bugs Must Die on the official website. Bugs Must Die is a fast paced modern retro top down shooter where players fight against alien bugs and bosses by controlling heavy armored vehicles and agile special agents.

As an elite from the Galactic Pests Control Company, players are sent to the planet M-79 to prevent Mantis Beings from invading Earth. On the terrestrial planet, players not only have to destroy the cruel Mantis soldiers, but also battle with the various Bosses cloned from Earth pop culture. In Bugs Must Die, players can control a heavy armored vehicle equipped with multiple weapons to gallop on the battle filed. They can also use Mantis Agents who have completely different fixed-weapon systems shooting and dodging through a Bullet-hell. There are RPG elements as well. Players are able to upgrade their character, vehicles, and/or weapons to take down the bugs with ease.

“Bugs Must Die is mainly inspired by Jackal, the classic arcade/NES game published by Konami. But it’s not only a 2018 version of Jackal, but also offers classic arcade gameplay that mixes elements from Jackal, Crimsonland, Ikari Warriors and rogue-like maps.” says ZHU Ping, the founder of Dragonglass Games Workshop, “We expect players will enjoy the fun and challenge of Hack’n Slash and Run’n Gun gameplay by playing with different characters and different weapons in Bugs Must Die. ” 

The demo of Bugs Must Die offers players total 4 levels to play. The download link is here: https://dggamesworkshop.com/download/
