    Why can't I save between stages? I have to go through about 20 levels before I can take a break? And that for a game where everything looks the same. It's actually very expensive for what it offers. It's hard to even find anything positive to say. The game looks good. I was VERY surprised to see Dutch language, not even google translated as far as I can tell but actual good translation. I don't know, I like the name Bees vs Zombees? I'm out of compliments now.

    2025/12/19 review update Considering that the game features enemies with extremely long attack ranges, there are currently only two optimal ways to deal with them: Choosing the 2-cost Queen Bee that can deploy defensive structures. Obtaining the ability that reduces enemy attack range as a reward in the first two or three stages. If neither of these conditions is met, encountering such enemies often results in instantly losing three hearts. Overall, the game’s depth is still insufficient at…

    A trainwreck of BEEzare proportions. I don’t know if it’s always been like this, but the current version of the game is a buggy mess (no pun intended this time around). The unlock requirements for the Artisans don’t match the actual actions. Half of the Artisan skills and roughly 30% of the turret cards don’t work. A map has a high chance of freezing on you mid-playthrough, leaving you twiddling your thumbs and doing nothing. Likewise, the mobs can bug out, causing them to run back and forth…

    I really like roguelikes and tower defense games and in this game, they match very well. I Love the POP culture references and the puns the game is a lot funny. The combination of strategy and resource management is engaging, with the queens’ and artisains abilities offering a variety of tactical possibilities. the colorful graphics are soooooooooooooooooooo good to see, the game delivers strong replayability and a steadily increasing difficulty curve. Perfect for players who enjoy fast-paced,…

    Great tower beefense game with cute bees, great puns and some challenging content. Its really sweet to try character combos to make new strategies and try beeferent game styles. And even with all that its still a cheap game, so you should try even if you are a stingy preson.

    Bees vs Zombees is a lively and inventive indie strategy game developed by Deadpixel and published by Nuntius Games and Vsoo Games that blends classic tower defense foundations with roguelike progression and a playful, pun-filled presentation. From the outset, the game makes its tone clear: this is a colorful, fast-moving defense experience where charm and strategy coexist, and where players are tasked with protecting their hive from relentless waves of zombified bees during a tongue-in-cheek…

    The game is very cool, challenging and hard. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is very challenging, which can provide several hours of play without seeming boring. Apart from the references, which are incredible and very fun. 10/10

    Really good idea for a Tower Defense game with roguelike mechanics. Sadly, it becomes quite repetitive pretty fast and there are some balancing issues. One character can single handedly win even the hardest of fights very early on, while the others require quite a lot of skill juggling and upgrades farming. Decent game to get on sale if you want some lightweight TD game for an evenging or two.

    BvZ is a funny and cute little tower defence game that is close to being a fantastic one, but it needs more bug fixing, balancing and some quality of life options to reach its full potential. It uses roguelike/lite elements in a unique way in that the flowers/cards reset and they are random every time, but you get to select a biome, queen and artisan from the beginning. The last two affect the passives, active skills and turrets you get to use. You gradually unlock more options by doing…

    This is abysmally uninteresting. Rather than a labor of love, this is clearly something more akin to "pay people on fiverr and mechanical turk until I have something representing a game." The text is atrocious. The game is slow. The mechanics are random and uninspired.

    A super fun and well designed mix of roguelike and tower defense! It's very satisfying to develop your strategies with the different towers, power-ups and magic. It also has a lot of humorous dialogues with bee puns. Totally recommended

    This game has some serious replay value! Defending the hive with new turrets and Queen Bee abilities every round keeps it fresh, and there’s always a new setup or strategy to try. The way you can mix things up and face different challenges each time makes it hard to put down. Perfect for anyone who loves replayable tower defense games!

    I ended up getting far more hooked on this game than I anticipated. From the visuals to the soundtrack, everything about it is irresistibly charming. The devs’ attention to detail really stands out—particularly with the puns using the characters' names (great puns, by the way) and their beautifully made designs, both of which add a lot of personality to the game. It rekindled that excitement of discovering something new, the urge to explore every mechanic, and the feeling of "just one more…
