About Buckshot Roulette
Buckshot Roulette drops up to four players into a gritty underground nightclub where a 12‑gauge shotgun replaces cards in a high‑stakes Russian‑roulette style contest. Players bargain, betray, and vie to outlast each other and the dealer, aiming to walk away with the prize.
Each match runs about fifteen to twenty minutes and consists of three rounds against the dealer, with an optional Double or Nothing mode that extends the survival challenge. The Steam edition adds new items and a seven‑track soundtrack by Mike Klubnika, while supporting Windows, Linux, and several controllers.

Core Gameplay
Players sit at a four‑way table and take turns firing a 12‑gauge shotgun in a Russian‑roulette format. The description emphasizes bargaining, begging, and betrayal as part of the competitive loop, with no hidden tricks mentioned.
A standard match includes three rounds against the dealer, each lasting roughly fifteen to twenty minutes. The focus is on outlasting opponents and the dealer rather than on any specific weapon upgrades or abilities.
- Coordinate turn order to anticipate who will fire next.
- Watch the dealer’s timing to gauge safe moments for your shot.

Multiplayer Modes
The game offers a four‑player PvP experience that can be played online, letting each participant face the dealer together. All participants share the same arena and rules, with the dealer acting as a common opponent.
A separate Double or Nothing mode lets players press their luck beyond the three‑round structure, testing how long they can survive. No additional mechanics beyond extended survival are described.
- Use the standard mode to learn the dealer’s pattern before trying Double or Nothing.
- Communicate with teammates to manage turn order efficiently.
