What players say
A fantastic game that fans of games like Cabal, Blood Brothers and Wild Guns will love! This is such a great genre and we definitely need more gallery shooters! The art style in Bot Vice is superb, with a great soundtrack, great controls and some nice weapon upgrades! Recommended to fans of the genre, and to those that want a fun, arcade style challenge!

This is great, a fun, addictive arcade gameplay loop that's challenging but fair in my opinion. Really nice pixel art and enemy variety
Beautiful sprite work and addictive gameplay that reminds me of 'Wild Guns' from way back in the day.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
