Description: Ladies and gentlemen. Load your guns! Teleport into our room-scale reimagination of an 80s arcade action game. Warning: You will have to move… A LOT!

Review: BellyBots is a pretty basic wave shooter that sees you shooting wave after wave of robots that appear all around you. While at the robots always die in one shot you will soon find yourself getting swamped with the sheer numbers of them and it is those times that this game comes into its own and feels fantastic to play. The graphics are also not too bad and with 1 gun in each hand and unlimited ammo, you soon lose yourself in the game.

But this game is pretty basic at best and the price tag of £5.59 is just too much to swallow. So do wait for it in a sale, preferable pay no more than £2 ($2) for this as that is just about all it is worth. So yeah, a little overpriced, but it can deliver on the fun it promises. You just have to let yourself get into the game a bit first.
