I loved Battle Bears. Loved it like my own son. So when I found out that there was a PC port, I was thrilled. Finally, a way to properly revisit these games! I mean, -1 isn't even playable on mobile anymore.

But this port, it's just...utterly awful. I'd be here all day if I tried to fully explain every grievance, so instead I'll organize them into a quick and snappy list so you can see just how botched this was.

No keybinding
Mouse will become visible for no reason
Audio sometimes only plays from one ear
No mouse sensitivity options
Cutscenes are still at their original resolution, making them extremely low quality in this port
Menus are also still at their original resolution; I can literally count the pixels.
No proper exit game button, because the developers couldn't even be bothered to do that
Still advertising a failed battle royale game that hasn't been updated in over two years. Even the title is incorrect, calling it "Gold" instead of "Royale."

These are the issues I gleamed from only 0.2 hours played. Imagine all of the nonsense I'll find as I play more. I'm happy beyond belief that Battle Bears was brought to PC, but this port feels pathetic.

Edit: Beat the main story, and oh my goodness, the congratulations screen doesn't even cover the entire screen. I also figured out why the audio would sometimes come from one ear. As it turns out, the music is coming from the actual environment, right around where that dropship crashes early on. So depending on how far left or right you turn, the audio will be stuck in one ear. Why this is a thing, I honestly have no idea.

(Edit Note: I did this for BB -1 and this is just so SkyVu can fix the little things to make this the definitive version to play! First is that it would be nice if there was a mouse sensitivity option. For me the mouse goes way to fast and it's hard to accurately mow down Huggables without the crosshair moving super fast. Second and lastly (This is the only actual bug that I found) sometimes I found that some Huggables get stuck or just don't spawn in on random waves in a stage making it unable to beat the wave without exiting to the menu and resuming thus restarting the whole wave. Again not huge things but they are distracting and hopefully get fixed. P.S sorry if this sounded like this came off the wrong way I am just very passionate about this franchise and want nothing more then to see it succeed.)

A timeless classic. This franchise got me through a lot of rough patches in my life and for that I am grateful. Here's to hoping we get the rest of the Battle Bears games on Steam. I know I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

This is the best we're getting, folks. Battle Bears is the golden example of what video games should be. Pack it up.

When Battle Bears is life

Another really fun Battle Bears game. Love the bosses, variety in weapons and the humorous cut scenes. Keep in mind though, this is a port of an old iphone game back from 2009, so don't expect it to be huge or anything, this is mainly a little simple zombie shooter game for fun and I would also highly recommend this one with that price especially.

If there's one game that has stood the test of time and remains a timeless classic in the world of mobile gaming, it's undoubtedly "Battle Bears 1: Zombies." This gem of a game has been a source of pure joy and endless entertainment for players of all ages since its release, and it's easy to see why.

From the moment you dive into the whimsical world of Battle Bears, you're greeted with colorful graphics that are as charming as they are captivating.

The gameplay is where Battle Bears truly shines. The game effortlessly combines elements of action, strategy, and humor, creating an experience that's both exciting and hilarious. Taking on hordes of zombie bears is as entertaining as it sounds. The controls are intuitive, making it accessible to gamers of all skill levels, from casual players to seasoned pros.

One of the standout features of Battle Bears 1: Zombies is its incredible sense of humor. The witty dialogue, hilarious character interactions, and zany weapons are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's a refreshing change from many other titles in the genre.

The single-player campaign is filled with exciting missions, each with its own unique challenges and objectives. Whether you're defending your base from waves of undead bears or embarking on epic boss battles, the variety of gameplay keeps you engaged and entertained. And let's not forget about the memorable characters – Oliver, Wil, and the lovable Huggable – who make the journey all the more enjoyable with their infectious personalities.

In conclusion, Battle Bears 1: Zombies is an absolute triumph in the world of mobile gaming.

Oldie but a goldie

I cannot recommend this game title as it is in its current messy state.
No care has been taken to make the experience better suited for PC players.
The game is in a playable state, and is also pretty fun if you enjoyed the game in the past, but the porting job of this game is poorly executed.
One example of poor execution is the lack of an option to quit the game (minus Alt + F4).
Until the developers update this port to be not just playable, but also presentable as a decent PC port, I cannot recommend this game to anyone except huge fans of the Battle Bears games.

Pretty solid port, the cutscenes could definitely use some work, and I'd prefer a sensitivity bar but I greatly enjoyed my time with BB1Z
