How to play Buckshot Roulette: Premise, goal, and gameplay
Buckshot Roulette is available on Itch.io for an asking price of $1.20. The goal of the game is to beat the antagonist in an intense one-versus-one game of Russian Roulette with a pump-action shotgun. Bullets are placed into the chamber in a random sequence where you need to survive each round by choosing to aim the shotgun at the opponent or yourself.
The antagonist’s appearance resembles the iconic Imscared character but behaves incredibly differently to Imscared and its gameplay counterpart, INSCRIPTION. The AI in Buckshot Roulette is somewhat unpredictable in its decision-making as it’s often seen shooting itself when there are clearly no more blanks in the chamber.
Buckshot Roulette plays out in turns where you have a limited amount of lives and a total of three rounds to play. The stakes of each round get higher as winning each round gets increasingly more difficult. The tabletop is designed to give the player and opponent items to change the pace of the game by skipping turns and bullets, checking for a blank or live bullet in the chamber, regaining a life, and so on. Buckshot Roulette is a solo experience where you need to outsmart the AI.
