What Buckshot Roulette is
Buckshot Roulette is an indie game developed by Mike Klubnika and released in 2023. It was published by Critical Reflex. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Linux and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Godot Engine.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Set in an underground nightclub in 1998, the player enters a back room where a mysterious entity known as "The Dealer" awaits. After signing a General Release of Liability waiver, the two engage in a deadly game of modified Russian roulette using a pump-action shotgun loaded with a mix of live rounds and blanks. As the rounds escalate and items are introduced to shift the odds, a bloody contract surfaces bearing the name "GOD," mirroring the waiver the player signed moments earlier. The stakes grow higher with each round, and in the final confrontation, there are no second chances.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action and horror. It supports multiplayer for up to 4 players online. Available modes: Multiplayer and Single player. There are 16 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Buckshot Roulette holds a critic score of 80 out of 100. That places it above 65% of the 5,098 rated indie games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2023 averaged 76, so it scored 4 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 79, across 158 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 1 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 3.4 hrs, roughly 3.4 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3, 2 GB RAM and Relatively modern dedicated graphics card (Vulkan support required). At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it costs, and where
Storefront pricing varies enormously by country: Russia is the cheapest region we track at ₽49.00 (about $0.58), while Germany pays €1.49 — 2.9 times more. In Pakistan it is priced at Rs 1 on Steam, which is about $0.74.
What it launched against
Buckshot Roulette launched on 28 December 2023, within three weeks of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Ready or Not, The Finals and Against the Storm. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Ready or Not, The Finals, Against the Storm.
