positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →These games suck. There's easily accessible out-of-bounds glitches, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hitboxes, and is a complete and total scam And it's totally worth your time
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think I actually like Enter The Gun Dungeon more than the game it's supposed to be a bootleg of.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hotline Miami 3 sure is good you guys!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hotline Miami 3 When?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So authentic to the bootleg experience I can almost hear the youtubers screaming about it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hotline Milwaukee is about as jank as Hotline Miami.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I BOUGHT A SCARY DEVOLVER GAME AT A CAR BOOT SALE AND IT HAD BLOOD AND HYPERREALISTIC FROGS
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#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
unlabelledView post →So this is what Hotlime Miami 3 would've looked like... Jokes aside, this is a fun collection of mini games, love me some Devolver. Can't hate.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Apparently they went out of their way to make the game deliberately terrible, and boy, did they succeed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →x-- 8/10 --x Perfect smaller mini games of their bigger bro counterparts
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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,…

If you like my remarks about games, you can find more of them here: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44130985-TDP%27s-Gaming-Escapades Remember E3? The "Electronic Entertainment Expo"? Where big gaming companies themselves planned for and held big, flashy press conferences announcing all sorts of games? That was THE gaming event to look forward to, even more than the yearly game awards. Oh how I miss those days when everything was not an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i think hotline Milwaukee is garbage and i dont really ever plan on playing it again. never ever ever again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its like u cant even tell the difference from the real thing. a total bargain
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man I love devolver
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great way to make Bootlegs of your own famous Games from your Portfolio. I really enjoy how you create games, which can be really entertaining and enjoyable for a quick session. Totally worth it ^^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Mom, can we get Enter the Gungeon?" "We have Enter the Gungeon at home." Enter the Gungeon at home:
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is the worst and most infuriating piece of flaming ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ever conceived by man and the lack of audio options bleeds my ear drums with the force of 20,000 nuclear air raidsirens going on at once. whpever made this should go back to game dev school or perhaps even stop pursuing game dev at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun and charming compilation of small bite sized games, reimagined from Devolver Digital classics. Hotline Milwaukee definitely being my personal favourite. Really worth checking out, there is a very pleasant time to be had with this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fantastic!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice stuff here!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i understand it's a joke release, but you should still probably just buy the actual games
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like those 99-in-1 bootleg games except the developers themselves made it. The game plays like ass, as you'd expect from bootlegs lol.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just like a real bootleg, it controls really badly not worth the money tbh
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some of the games actually work! Very recommend! Sometimes you shoot and sometimes you jump. Reminds me of past titles I played... 7/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun for a bit, but gets stale easily.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's pretty enjoyable or funny if you're a fan of the games included in here. A couple of them were actually really fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good hotline miami clone
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun pixelated version of Devolver's offerings, the Gun Dungeon took me so long to get the boss lol. Not bad for the asking price.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where is a new Hotline Miami game!!!!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun collection of short games. Features some great humor and action.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun collection of minigames that lasts for like half an hour but loses its charm super quickly. Worth it on sale, probably not full price
