What the reviews are saying!
...it's going to be really hard to ever find a way to enjoy a typical dual-stick shooter again.

One part [castle] defense, two parts dual stick shooter, and a dash of RPG; Bug Heroes is the most interesting blend of iPhone gaming I’ve see since Infinity Blade.

The multiple components of Bug Heroes make it a game that can appeal to a wide spectrum of people, and its quality makes it stand out among numerous action games.
