Bad Rats Download PC

Bad Rats: The Rats' Revenge is a puzzle video game developed and published by Invent4 Entertainment. It was released for Microsoft Windows on 20 July 2009. In May 2010, the game was acquired by Strategy First. A sequel, Bad Rats Show, was released exactly seven years later, on 20 July 2016.

Development

The game's developer, Augusto Bulow, said the game was intended to be humorous.

Reception

Bad Rats did not receive any critical reviews aggregated on Metacritic, and, according to Kotaku, is a "putridly awkward", "nearly universally reviled" game. IGN commented: "It sucks, a lot. It is very bad."

However, its appearance on the Steam marketplace in 2009, at a time when that platform was relatively tightly curated for quality, caused it to stand out as an oddity. It attracted a community of followers still active in 2015, six years after its release. Bad Rats received a majority of positive user reviews, possibly beginning the trend of users jokingly giving over-the-top positive reviews to bad games, and became a popular gift to troll other players with. Rock, Paper, Shotgun described it as "the gaming equivalent of neckties with kooky prints or fart-scented soap".
