About

You and the swarm are one. Your will is their will. Your thoughts, their thoughts. The great Matriarch sacrificed so that the swarm could continue here on this abandoned lot, YOUR new world. Well, that is if you can conquer it from those that wrongly deny your domination. From the relative safety of your nest, you will breed generations of beetles that will fan out over this world and claim it as your own. Unlock the secrets of your genetic potential through careful pairings of select members of your swarm. Learn new abilities and enhance the performance of your species over generations of offspring. Biting is a dependable attack that no beetle should underestimate, but what if you could spit caustic bile, drain your enemies' vital fluids or perhaps explode in a wondrous shower of carapace flavored shrapnel! This and more are only a few choice alleles away...should you discover them.

But your domination isn't all biting and slashing. You must rear your beetles and tend to their needs of food, comfort and health. As you conquer the lot, you will retrieve the necessary resources like seeds, berries, and the ever-enjoyable rotted flesh. Send out your beetles to explore new areas, learn of their defenses and treasures. If your chosen champions are up for the task, they may well find rare items to aid the swarm in its rise to power; like a soothing bar of soap, a rubber ball, or some nutritious brains! Nothing tickles the ganglia like comfort foods.

Explore this world and your own existence. Develop exotic looks as you collect and unlock new rare physical features like horns, spikes, ridges, colors, textures, and finishes. Beetles are unpredictable in their looks and size, and your swarm is every bit as spectacular. Each beetle you raise will be uniquely yours, a master of statistics, looks, and stature.

Taking over each territory will require specialized abilities and expert leadership as you take legions of your swarm-mates into battle. Feel the fluid joy of your horde in battle. You don’t push individuals about like puppets, you usher them about as a maestro would lead a symphony building up to a crescendo and crashing them upon your enemies like a tidal wave of destruction.Key Features:
  • Play at your own speed. Accelerate or stop time as you see fit. Take your time and consider your options like a great leader.
  • Unique creations. Each beetle you raise is a useful piece of art. Looks and abilities are not tied to stats. Small and strong, large and weak, colorful and cruel...all are possible.
  • Fluid combat. Combat is very fluid and real-time. The only thing more fun than herding cats...is herding beetles! Keep on your toes and tend to your swarms.
  • Strategic planning throughout. It’s not just which areas to conquer, but who to send on tasks, who should breed and who will end up in the Goop Juicer.

Beetle Uprising reviews and comments

Early Access Review Funny Pastime. You get Bugs, let them cross with other Bugs and "should" them get better. Well, whether you cross or not don't actually matter like that. You could also easily build a Random Values Generator. More They will not push more and certain Values worsen others. Balanced Is still best. However, it quickly gets boring, Pooading, distributing enough Food in the Nest (although in the Inventory, but this is not eaten), attacking, gathering. This endlessly until everything is conquered. Nice Game for the Money, good Pastime until an Update finally comes out on "Empire of the Underlings." This is a similar Game, but with Hammer Story and great nest Building. Still positive Rating for the small Price a nice Game.

Early access review nice little game about Scarabs reminiscent of a little empires of the underground or you will create your own colony by crossing with a single goal conquir and survive. You will send your small creation in search of resources (foods, mats for sleeping and some stuff to improve the comfort within the colony), their successes depend on their stats. You will also have zone fights and a few quests to succeed to advance ever more with a small strategic side but nothing very complicated. For the moment only a few areas are available the others being still in development, you can still spend a few hours on it. Simulation side I do not know too ^^ not really knowing the Scarabs I remain perplexed. (Are the beetles really living in colonies?) A huge variety of combinations of genetics are available to improve these little bebetes which makes the game a little strategical. The zone fights are pleasant because the small maps are pretty. The game is smooth no bugs meet as well as no crashes. The game pretty good. The-for now: a game can be in the long run a little repetitive a fairly low resolution setting a difficult loss to my taste. May be a game that for certain would be more suitable on such Android than on steam (I say for certain because for me not having this kind of such I am delighted to find CA on steam). All in all it is a small game friendly and fun for little that is not the phobia of insects ^^ I recommend the game to those who are not afraid to participate in this early access, for others wait a little it will avoid you to raler and leave negative com ;) . To see later what the dev we reserve because at the moment we make fast enough the turn of the game. with 6h on I have already traveled all of what is available that is to say a little around 50% of the game presented to date.
