Our take on Bugs Must Die / 异星特勤队
The arcade structure trades broad exploration for repeated combat encounters across defined stages. Hell Mode adds a sharper restriction by starting with only one basic weapon, while upgrades and loot provide a progression path through later levels.
What is Bugs Must Die / 异星特勤队?
Bugs Must Die is a fast-paced, top-down twin-stick shooter with pixel-art visuals and an arcade style drawn from the 1980s and 1990s.
Story Mode has 16 levels, each with a boss. Challenge Mode adds 8 levels, randomly appearing secret bosses, and the 16 bosses from Story Mode. In Hell Mode, players start with one basic weapon and receive more loot as they progress. Players can select between two Mantis Agents, each with distinct fixed weapons and dodge mechanics, and use three vehicles.
Vehicles can carry six primary weapons and nine secondary weapons, as well as a Battle Core that deploys when the vehicle is destroyed. Mission-earned coins can be spent on vehicle and weapon upgrades. Across its three modes, the game offers more than 10 hours of gameplay.
