Jan 31, 2025Something of a hidden gem which has a lot of gems hidden for you to shoot with your machine gun drill.

Mar 8, 2024A true hidden gem, Bore Blasters has all the ingredients of an indie classic in the making. The gameplay loop here is one of the most enjoyable and satisfying that we’ve had the pleasure to play, and each new upgrade really does feel like an achievement. Simply put, we can’t get enough of Bore Blasters: we’re going to be returning to it time and time again. And each time, we won’t be able to pull ourselves away.

Mar 8, 2024This is in fact the impossibly sublime mix of a twin-stick shooter with a mining game, and it’s compellingly fun.

Mar 14, 2024With a reliance on auto-targeting, the Vampire Survivor clones can grow tedious. Bore Blasters mixes things up with twin-stick shooter mechanics, where drilling through the environment is just as imperative as gunning down foes. While in-game inflation becomes irritating, the few first hours, are indeed, a blast.

Apr 12, 2024Initially I thought Bore Blasters would feel disposable, given how quick the runs are, but once you've levelled your engine enough they actually start to become a bit of a chore, despite inventive curve balls like goblins booby trapping a whole level with acid. Perhaps enough thought went into making this game that you don't have to think much at all when playing it. There is actually a story, but I think I like dwarfs yelling and shooting dirt more, as long as there's that urgency. Perhaps Bore Blasters a very well engineered stress ball for endless cartharsis. Don't expect meaningful diggy diggy hole. This is explodey hole.
