Our take on Attack of the Bugs
The tower-defense framing may suggest a conventional game of placing defenses, but the stated premise instead puts the player in the tower's role. Horror is also prominent, with bug swarms and sudden scares forming part of the experience.
What is Attack of the Bugs?
Attack of the Bugs is a VR tower-defense game where the player takes the tower's role.
Bug swarms emerge in a nightmare setting, including from walls and a fuse box, while childhood toys and household objects become defenses. Items such as a lighter and bug spray can be turned into a weapon. Crafting and multiple paths offer different ways to take on the challenges.
