![]() ![]() Still, you need to look at Bee Simulator as a casual and semi-educational game and not the next Dark Souls. The harder the difficulty the more challenging it gets, but as someone with lots of experience in rhythm games I never lost a battle. This happens over a number of rounds and the first person to drain their opponents health to zero wins. You nail it you strike, you miss you get hit. Your job is to hit the corresponding button at the right time to initiate and attack. A series of button inputs appear on-screen and a bar scrolls across. You will instead face off in a sort of DDR-like rhythm game. But don’t expect combat to be like some version of Street Fighter with bees. In your little adventure you’ll fight other bees that are encroaching on your territory, wasps that are assholes, and the occasional hornet that is pretty darn scary looking to a little bee. Side-quests help to expand your role and once the story about the hive coming under attack from a number of outside threats takes hold, you’ll be forced into the role of scout and protector and must find a new home before the hive is destroyed. You are a bee that wants to do more for the hive other than being a simple pollen collector. And while pollen is the main bulk of the game, Bee Simulator makes you search out different types of flowers, forcing you to explore and engage with the world and not simply fly to a single flower and return to the hive.Ī lot of this seems pretty boring, and it is a times, but Bee Simulator has this strange way of drawing you in thanks to the way it tells its story. You can fly out and around your hive to collect pollen and find all manner of side-quests that help break up a bit of the monotony of being a bee. Bee Simulator is essentially an open-world game, even though the world of a bee is pretty small and sometimes locked off from you. Bee Simulator understands this and adds a lot of interesting touches to try to keep the game, well, feeling like a game and not like some timed mobile game. Look, the life of a bee is pretty boring considering they are all drones programmed to do one thing until they die. Along the way you learn about the life of a honey bee that includes mostly collecting pollen, bringing it back to the hive, and repeating that process over an over again. There is a fully-developed story that tells the tale of a newly hatched bee as it grows up and serves the colony in a variety of ways. In that respect you should look at Bee Simulator like a traditional adventure game. You should look at Bee Simulator like a traditional adventure game. When a game can stealthily teach you while playing you’ve got something pretty neat. And while I wouldn’t call this a “simulation” in the traditional sense, Bee Simulator is a boatload of casual fun that managed to do what very few video games have done before: teach me about the life of a bee. Thankfully, this is more traditional game than any sort of crazy simulation. ![]()
