    I think I actually like Enter The Gun Dungeon more than the game it's supposed to be a bootleg of.

    Super cool to see a game from one of my favorite developers about parodying a bunch of their most popular games. Such a cool idea. Super Wario Ware-esque which I LOVE.

    Of course, if you see any of the non-bootleg versions of games from this pack at a comparable price, get those instead. Even though this is a meme game, you'll still get a couple hours of fun playing it. I'm going to reiterate that. If you see Enter the Gungeon, Ape Out, Hotline Miami, Downwell, or ANY of those games on sale for a comparable price to Devolver Bootleg... It's not even a question, you're gonna have a richer, and more enjoyable time playing "The Real Deal" than what 8 knock-off…

    #justbeatit Ape Out Jr. (PC) Another Devolver Bootleg game down. This was a nice take on Ape Out with a 2d platformer style where you have to make it to the exit by throwing enemies and avoid getting shot. A very simple puzzle element to it and a quick 25 levels. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

    A must play if you're a fan of the games Devolver publishes. All the games included are fun, with Hotline Milwaukee being a fun standout, seeing that its literally just a simpler version of Hotline Miami. The achievements can be a bit grindy, but aren't all too difficult. A great time all around!

    Heard about this game back when it was announced a couple of years ago, and it was in the back of my mind since then. It is styled as an old-school 80's or 90's bootlegged software collection of games, and draws from IPs that are existing Devolver Digital games. The funny thing is that while many of these games draw inspiration from these Devolver-published games, they also generally copy a lot of old arcade and NES-era games in their execution and play style. I haven't "completed" the game,…

    Its funny how there is an official rip offs for devolver games 8 games, 2 of them are for 2 people they are pretty fun arcade games I would love to make an arcade cab for this game, It would be awesome also I love the funny achievements like the open menu 1000 times I enjoyed it, would be fun to play with friends (local) and try to beat each others highscore Also the movements are like arcade style games, they are annoying sometimes, but it's still fun Rating 6/10 Enjoyment 5/10

    It's honestly a good laugh and nails what it set out to do; deliberately make bad knockoffs of Devolver games. So far I've played Enter the Gun Dungeon, and cleared Hotline Milwaukee and Catsylvania. The ending of Catsylvania was honestly very unexpected. I must warn you though, NEVER open the game in a dark room (Speaking from experience). Also don't play it if you're sensitive to flashing images, as the game opening flashes like crazy. If you like Devolver games, you're likely to enjoy…

    This is a clever little game to give you a taste of Devolver Games in rip-off form. This made me go get the original games that some of these games are ripping off, and sadly, I liked some of the versions in Devolver Bootleg better then the original games. But this is a collection of short experiences. It is a sampler platter for the Devolver library.

    Feels a bit weird to pay for weird demo versions of the games. I have missed the culture spice of playing the game during event hype. 5 years ago, geez. And without said social value, there is this weird collection of games that are kinda not enough bootleg "I need to know what developers were thinking to pull of this strange move" attractive and not enough fun to want to play seriously. Make it weird, not make it "modern pixel dev early wip"! Tho Ape Out JR seems like competent alternative…

    If I didn't already know how great Enter the Gungeon, Hotline Miami, and Ape Out was, I would immediately want to never buy those games after playing this. What was Devolver Digital thinking? Making terrible versions of their most popular games doesn't make potential players want to learn more about them, it only makes them want to avoid them at all costs. It doesn't work as material that current fans want either since they already have played the games. The fact that this costs money at all is…

    Pretty good collection if you want a glimpse of some devolver titles. However do be aware that some of these games are not fun to play. I understand that is the point and the joke of the title but do be aware that a few of these titles seem like they are far frustrating considering you still had to cough up around four pounds to play it. Despite that Devolver is easily my favourite publisher and even a frustrating glimpse of their best games is still enjoyable. 7/10

    I mean, it's alright, what you see is what you get, but kind of a waste of money when you could get the real Hotline Miami at the same price. If you look at the Steam page and think it looks like your cup of tea, go for it, if you don't, it's a waste of money.

    None of the minigames feature any kind of save system. that's fine for the roguelikes but not for the level based games. Missed the opportunity for password saves. Also some of the gameplay its very clunky under the guise of being a "bootleg". Just play the OG.

    5. Devolver Bootleg This game is actually a collection of 8 short games that are ''knockoffs'' of Devolver Digital published games, they are fine, funny games but don't offer much since they are short, they are fine games overall tho, my fav is Hotline Milwaukee 6.6/10
