How it feels

A charming yet darkly humorous mix of breeding cute beetles with real-time tactical battles and base-building.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on Beetle Uprising. Some love the genetic breeding and cozy beetle care, comparing it favorably to Empires of the Undergrowth. Others expected an RTS but found a daycare sim for bugs, with a terrible tutorial that leaves you guessing, a confusing UI, and repetitive progression.
