Buckshot Roulette is a clever game putting a spin on the lethal game of Russian roulette but with a shotgun and items to help you along the way. At the end of October you'll be able to betray your friends too.
I was absolutely hooked on this when it came to Steam, and now perhaps I will be again. The short rounds mixed with the tense atmosphere — it's great. The multiplayer update lands on October 31st with:
- New items for strategic mutual annihilation. No pills included.
- Round customization from more health points to item load outs for your convenience.
- Brand new music from Mike Klubnika.
- A bunch of new faces kindly provided to us by Volta Standard Electronics.
- And the special sting of betrayal from your friends and loved ones.

It's another great game made with Godot Engine, and a popular one too with it hitting a million sales pretty shortly after the Steam release. Be sure to follow our Godot Engine tag for more!
It has Native Linux support and is rated Steam Deck Playable.
Not clear if the itch version will get multiplayer though.

OK, I've been wondering about the basic thing of this game. I mean, this is painfully obvious so I'm ashamed to ask, but . . . normal Russian Roulette is with a revolver, OK. So, the point is that if you put one bullet in the revolve-y thing, and the other five places are empty, and then you spin the revolve-y thing, then there is a one in six chance that when you pull the trigger it will hit an empty one, which is to say if you put the gun to your head, a five in six chance that you will actually survive. So, foolish and insanely dangerous, but there is this random factor. But with a shotgun, there is no revolve-y thing. If there's a bullet at all, and the gun is to your head, you die. This seems kind of anticlimactic and lacking in suspense. So like, what's the dodge? Seems a game with one move where you just die wouldn't be as popular as this is.

In this game, live shells and blanks are randomly filled in. You can see how many of each there are at first, but not the order. Say, maybe 2 live shells and 2 blanks. In your turn, you can either point it at yourself or at the other guy.
If it's a blank and one's pointing it at oneself, then you get another turn. There's also more than one life, and items that allow for things such as pumping the shotgun to eject a shell, checking if the current shell is live or not, healing...
It's an interesting chance game, you can check out a video on youtube and you'll understand quickly.

Technically those shell are not blank (a blank can still kill you) more like fake or dud.

You're right, but the game calls them blanks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't worry, It wasn't specifically for you, just to remind people that it could be dangerous. Even if it is a little bit irrelevant if you play this game (I spent almost 10 h on it :P)

This feels like a great game to play with some friend on a discord call. Excited for the drop
