Devolver Bootleg contains eight original rip-offs of Devolver Digital games including: Enter The Gun Dungeon Imagine a dungeon crawler but instead of swords it’s guns. But also everything is made out of guns and bullets and stuff. Like, everything. Hotline Milwaukee Brutal, fast-paced, stealth action and a whole lot of blood. From your garbage person apartment in historically interesting and relevant Milwaukee, pick up the phone, and answer the call--of murder. Follow instructions and follow the stairs deeper and deeper into the mysterious basement. Where does it go? Who are you? Ape Out Jr. Escape out of ape prison in this classic arcade-style platformer where you play as an orange gorilla who will kill everyone so he can to see his dad again. Grab unsuspecting guards to use as weapons and shields in this completely original idea set to an interpretive chiptune jazz drummer soundtrack. Please, Ape Out was my father’s name. Shootyboots It’s the never-ending story of a young boy falling down a well, wearing a giant boot as if it was overalls, which also is a gun. Collect gems, squash and shoot the fauna, fall deeper into the infinite well, and wear some other equally large and ballistically designed shoes. Super Absolver Mini: Turbo Fighting Championship (2 Players Only) A competitive fighting game where you play as your choice of one of four masked combat disciples. You choose two special moves. You fight two rounds. The winner is absolved of the obligation to ever have to fight again, but probably will anyway because the one true resolve of the flesh is a fist colliding with it. Catsylvania It’s a cat inside of a suit of armor. It’s a cat...In full plate armor. What else do you want? PikuBiku Ball Stars (2 Players Only) Everybody’s favorite red thing with legs is back and ready to sink some baskets with a friend. Nothing but net baby. Slam freakin’ dunk. Luftrousers Hello, I am Rami Ismail, ½ of Dutch independent game development studio, Vlambeer. We made a version of Luftrausers that had a typo, and JW left the thumbdrive containing the source at a coffee shop somewhere while I was doing a talk in Berlin, then Nairobi, then in Los Angeles the following day. If you find the thumbdrive, can you please return it and please PLEASE do not share the contents with anyone or add it to a compilation of pirated, under-the-table ripoffs of games that Devolver has published.

Небольшой набор демейков от компании издателя Devolver, просто и со вкусом стебут свои же игры. Не все же конечно идеально, но этот продукт творчества надо рассматривать больше как сатиру над пиксельными играми за 15 рублей, чем просто как полноценную игру.
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 versions of games can amount to. No question.
It would be nice to be able to write, "Yeah! It's like a bunch of demo versions of the games! You'll know if you want to buy the full versions if you grab this." Nahhhh... You won't know, because some of them are such entirely different concepts that comparing them would feel disingenuous. There are SIMILAR gameplay elements, but for the most part, there is almost no direct connection. There are connections some games have to other older games though!
So why recommend it all? That's pretty simple: I bought it for under $3 bucks, and I got about 3 hours of time out of it. I also had fun playing it and unlocking all of the achievements. Blew some air out my nose in amusement. Sure it wasn't the most flushed-out experience, but sitting there on the couch, SteamDeck in hand, I can certainly say I enjoyed the meme for what it was, and in the end, I enjoyed supporting one of my favorite publishers in the process.
It's just one of those games I'm on the fence about. You're bound to find a better use for your money than this, even within the confines of Devolver's own catalog of games. But dang man. It's just funny to own this.
