    This game is piece of **** I got key for review for Russian blog, but first try the game didn't work. After contacting developer he told me my system not good. I try other game, work perfect. I then finally got game booting and it really play like **** I play Fallout 4 on max settings normal. So I try review, but game not fun and not recommend to buy.

    Wrote 4 paragraphs explaining why this game is so bad and got a server error. I'll just say that it looks amazing but it's just NOT FUN, the top down perspective has no weight to it and makes the game feel meaningless as a shooter. This feels like a cellphone game ported to PC.

    So far, Bombshell for the PC is my least favourite video game of 2016. It is buggy, dull, and has terrible writing. At least it's competent at everything it tries to do.

    I've probably never seen a game this bad, where do I start... I mean, do I even have to start? Everything in the game is just bad, EVERYTHING, I'm not even kidding, there's not a single thing that is gonna make this game worth it's price, damn, it's not even worth a single euro. This is the only 0 I've ever given, but a very firm and safe one, this is the worst game I've played in my whole life.

    I had high hopes for the game but after getting my hands on a key I have to admit it was a big let down. I mean where do I even begin? The story is dull and the acting is terrible (mind you they recast the actors). As for the gameplay the first few maps are not fun to play and even though the weapons and abilities are cool, the RPG aspect is pretty much non existant.

As for the gameplay the first few maps are not fun to play and even though the weapons and abilities are cool, the RPG aspect is pretty much non existant. It becomes quickly repetitive and definitely not worth the pricetag. I also experienced a lot of bugs here and there, but I guess they will patch that soon, unless its like ROTT.… Expand

    Here's a tip for game developers. If you know you've made a game that's not very good--don't name it something that can be used against you in reviews. "Bombshell really bombs" doesn't make a very good review blurb. If you're going to go that route though, you might as well have titled this thing Crapburger. This game stinks.

    This game is terrible: the controls are a mess, the story is terribly written (corny with an abundant amount of clichés) and the price for all of this is HUGE. This games reminds me of a russian shovelware I once saw being sold at Steam for literally $999, only to be taken out of the store a few days later.

    A mediocre twin-stick shooter that tries to be funny and fails. [04/2016, p.48]

    Supposedly, Bombshell started its life as a Duke Nukem game, yet studio never managed to acquire the license. We're not sure how that game would have turned out, but it probably wouldn't be such an unfinished, bland and painfully unfunny mess as this game.
