Buckshot Roulette
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Note: The itch.io version does not feature an online leaderboard compared to the Steam release.
- - -
BUCKSHOT ROULETTE is a tabletop horror game that attempts to re-design the infamous game of Russian Roulette, replacing the traditional revolver with a proper 12-gauge pump-action shotgun. This extra firepower, and more importantly the different mechanics in handling a shotgun compared to a revolver, offers a fresh take on the classic and deadly game of chance.
The game takes place at the top of an underground nightclub, where the metal railings tremble to the pulse of long lost drum machines. A crooked AI dealer is waiting for you. Will you meet them?
FEATURES:
- 15 to 20 minute playthrough.
- Immersive & grounded tabletop gameplay, featuring diegetic systems and minimal UI.
- Unscripted rounds that offer unpredictable yet controllable outcomes, with a fair amount of replay value.
- A ruthless yet fair AI, that makes decisions based on what's on the table, rather than under it.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- Relatively modern dedicated graphics card (Vulkan support required)
- Windows or Linux (will not work on MacOS)

Yō, I got this when I don't have an account how do I get it again without paying for it please
hey mate. I get the game before you release on steam, on this site. how can I play it on steam also? do I need to purchase it again or what?
There is a button that says "Add a game" in your steam library. click that and click non steam game, then just pick this game.
Its different dude. I dont meant that
Hello my friend, how can I get the game for free in order to publish it on social media? I do not have the money to buy the game
Not how it works, mate
Wait you have money for a pc but not 2$?
I wan
This is an amazing game. I love how you have to calculate the odds
its not as easy as "oh duh just give itch.io buyers the steam keys". devs are limited on the steam keys they can give out (best case scenario is 5000 keys no questions asked, but would likely be less for a small indie dev with only one other [free] game on steam), and anything after that needs to be paid for out of pocket or approved by steam. a bare minimum estimate for how many itch.io buyers there are would be 100k, which is an insane amount of keys to be given out even across an entire games lifespan, let alone any time soon. if you care so much, spend the extra pocket change on a steam copy. if you arent willing to do that, then you dont care enough to deserve a steam key regardless.
Yeah but he could give us a special treat in the game, there is no need to give us a key but something like special nickname in scoreboard if we paid for the game here
any way to get the steam version for free if we puchased the itch.io version? seems kinda unfair to leave the OG supporters out
Avoid buying, the dev doesn't give steam keys for those who supported the game early on on steam
it's 3 bucks calm your tits
This was never a promise on the original game release + you got your copy on itch?
And if you cannot afford $3, then you probably couldn't afford the $1.20 for this as well. just sayin
Signing my life away...
ALL ENDINGS
I realy liked the game, but not giving owners on here a steam key is fucking low. I gues this is what i get for chosing paying over piracy.
I would never have bought the game here if i knew it would be comming to steam later. Fuck this.
My guy... It's literally $3.... Do you seriously not work a job??
And if your reply is "No" or "I'm a kid", then you should 1) Get a Job or 2) Wait til you're older, kid.
This. If you can't pay $3 then I don't know how you could afford $1.20 for the Itch release.
Also giving out Steam keys was never a promise for early supporters, so the entitlement to a Steam key is based on nothing.
Just pay the $3 and stop complaining lmfao
it's been out for months for God sake make it free or at least lower the price
its 3 dollars bruh, support indie devs
This comment is the textbook example of "You can't please everyone"
I've seen someone say it's worth more than itch io and steam price combined. True. I've purchased it 2 days after release for $1.20, buying the steam for $3 would be still worth it, BUT I payed for it barely after it came out and they move to steam and leave itch io supporters for good, like we were just getting the beta. We get updates now a lot later than steam, we won't have multiplayer in the future. Like wtf dude, I didn't pay for you to leave me hanging so you could bring updates to people that bought it later(and mostly for a bit more, but yeah), it's like steam version is a DLC for us in an INDIE GAME. Idk. Game is still as good as it gets, but man dropping a steam key wouldn't hurt your ego.
DO NOT BUY!! The game is on steam and the dev does not care about those who have originally supported his game and wants to milk his fans for all their money. shitty design and robs those who had originally supported.
Make available for mac please?
игра прикольная, но не особо жуткая. Сама задумка очень классная и интересная, необычная. Советую!
РУССКАЯ РУЛЕТКА С ДРОБОВИКОМ | Buckshot Roulette
i paid money for this here before it came to steam, its the same price on both sites, i should get all the features people who buy it on steam get, its just common sense.
i have the same problem will i have to buy the game again or what
yes you should! and in fact, you do.
shitty design. those who supported first should be able to experience new content without having to pay again
this game was super fun
any chance of a macos release one day? would love to play on steam!
Its on Steam rn, the link is https://store.steampowered.com/app/2835570/Buckshot_Roulette/
correct, but i'm on macos, not pc :/
amazing game!! nuff said!
One of the best soundtracks for an indie game in recent years. I was vibing a lot just listening to those pumping techno tracks.
Game mechanics are easy to understand and very addictive. Visual style is amazing. It's grimy, rusty and overall sucks you in, it exists in the same universe as other Mike's games.
Legendary game at this point. Modern cult classic.
P.S. I purchased game on both platforms, to support the author. And got 100% achievements on steam. Can't wait to try multiplayer.
How does he make that iconic effect?????
probubly some special shaders / shader settings
I 100% get the complaints about the steam key stuff, but in my unprofessional opinion this game is worth way more than 6$ (the price of the itch version and steam version combined). In a universe where there is no steam release and the itch version simply got everything the steam one would get, do you think people would be mad if the itch version was 6$? My point is that I think what people are mad about isn't that they have to pay an extra 3 dollars, in fact i think a lot of the people complaining realise its value to be much higher as well. its something about them having to make a second purchase that is leaving a bad taste in their mouths.
As for me, I have no idea where I stand on this because I agree with both sides.
Yeah pretty much.
If I have been supporting before steam I should be able to experience the same content. it feels like I've been robbed
it might be to you, but to me its not. Now i just feel scammed.
It just feels....disrespectful to the original supporters. The original supports are likely why there was a big push to steam in the first place. Heck likely the reason the developer decided to put more content in the game. If the game got no support the developer would have likely just moved onto his next project/game. He got the financial backing from people buying a product on Itch.io because they wanted to support the game even though I bet it was very easy to pirate (I never checked but I can only imagine it was).
Like it just discourages people in the future to want to financially back products they like because the end result will be them getting left behind. I guess they get early access to the game? but now they have to make a second purchase just to get it on steam.In this case left behind refering to no multiplayer and updates coming later to itch game owners.
YES we can repurchase it. There might be a day I will re-purchase it. I'll still feel like its unjustfied however when I make that purchase.
