Critical Reflex announced that the Mike Klubnika-developed horror indie game Buckshot Roulette has sold over 1 million copies on PC via Steam. The game initially launched on itchi.io before releasing on Steam with some updated systems. The reason for the success could be the low asking price of $2.99, along with some coverage of popular streamer Markiplier, who played the original release. Whatever the case may be, it’s a great success story for an indie team. The team also plans to release Buckshot Roulette on consoles and introduce the highly anticipated multiplayer game mode.
Buckshot Roulette transforms the high-stakes game of Russian roulette by introducing a 12-gauge shotgun, heightening the intensity and thrill of the experience. This game isn’t just about pulling the trigger and hoping for the best; it offers 15 to 20 minutes of literally mindblowing gameplay where players enter an arena to face off against The Dealer across three intense rounds. Players either clinch the prize or they don’t—each session promises palpable tension and dramatic outcomes.
Set in an atmospheric underground nightclub, the game’s environment pulses with the rhythms of forgotten drum machines, enhancing the immersive experience. Players get the chance to test their nerve against The Dealer, who plays the odds with no tricks up his sleeve. For those feeling particularly lucky, the new “Double or Nothing” mode challenges them to push their luck even further. The Steam release of Buckshot Roulette not only introduces new items but also features a captivating soundtrack with seven tracks by Mike Klubnika, making sure that every round of the game is as gripping as the music that accompanies it.
