About Buggos 2
Buggos 2 is a strategy simulator from IntrepidMarmot, released on September 25, 2025. You control a hive-mind commanding alien insects in turn-based battles against human forces. The game blends base-building with auto-battler mechanics, letting you evolve swarms, unlock specialized units, and manipulate the battlefield to crush enemies. It’s single-player only, with permadeath-style upgrades that carry over between runs. If you like slow-building strategies and resource management, this is your jam.
Gameplay
Each run starts with a basic hive. You spend early rounds evolving units like workers, soldiers, and engineers, then deploy them in auto-resolving matches. Between battles, you tweak the hive’s layout to boost resource production and unlock new abilities. The challenge lies in balancing unit types and adapting to enemy tactics. Later stages introduce environmental hazards and fortified human defenses that force you to rethink strategies. Controls are click-heavy, with a focus on planning rather than micro. Victory means wiping out all human units while surviving the escalating threat.
What Players Think
Community ratings hover around 4.3/5, with 82% of players completing the base campaign. Average playtime clocks in at 18 hours, though 30% push past 30 hours chasing 100% upgrades. Achievement completion sits at 76%, with the “Queen of the Hive” trophy (beating the final boss with maxed units) earned by just 12%. Positive moods dominate, players call it “satisfying” and “addictive,” though 15% gripe about unit balancing. Early reviews on forums praise the “clever use of hive mechanics,” while 10% cite a steep learning curve.
PlayPile's Take
Buggos 2 is a niche win for strategy fans who enjoy slow progression and permadeath twists. At $29.99, it’s reasonably priced for its depth, though the lack of multiplayer might turn off casual players. With 120 achievements and a 75% completion rate, it offers solid replayability. Skip if you want fast action or flashy visuals. Stick with it if you thrive in games that reward patience and planning.
