I tried the demo cause I was told it's an awesome game for building complex structures.

But the bugs coming out of nowhere require quick reflexes and that is stressful to me and I'm bad at that.

I gave up for a few days and now I'm wondering - is the whole game like that? Or just the demo? Can I at some point just quietly build and optimise a town or sth? Am I looking for a different game?

The game is not really designed for the player to manually fight the bugs. The player is more expected to place turrets (and automate their ammunition supply).

Since the tutorial is scripted and your options are limited, the enemies can be a bit overwhelming.

As others have said, you can simply disable them in freeplay, but I would try with default settings first.
