Gaming Nexus: 8 / 10 by Nathan Carter

The Bug Butcher is a really fun and really addicting arcade like shooter. While it won't take that long to play through all the levels, it offers a high amount of replayability and it's one of those games where every single point matters and you will be playing over and over again to climb those leaderboards.

TechRaptor: 8.5 / 10 by Samuel Guglielmo

The Bug Butcher is a great game with entertaining gameplay and neat weapons that is only slightly held back by longevity issues.

The Outerhaven Productions: 3.5 / 5 by Keith Mitchell

If this is the first efforts from Awfully Nice Studios, it's a damned good one. While the Bug Butcher won't win any awards for innovation, it definitely will with how much fun you'll have with the same. Simple, frantic, charming and fun are easily the four best words to describe The Bug Butcher. It's also nice to know that Awfully Nice Studios is constantly fixing bugs (No pun intended) that are found in the game, so it's also nice to see that they're committed to making this the best experience it can be.
