Nov 10, 2020Great gameplay is almost (but not quite) enough to save a game that's desperately thin on content, context, and replayability. Maybe this game is a few updates away from greatness. Probably not.

Sep 24, 2020Hampered by the fact that it's a roguelike. Very solid soundtrack and gameplay that would be more enjoyable if 4 mistakes didn't send you back to the start of the game. Heavily reliant on a good seed. Crypt of the Necrodancer was better as Cadence of Hyrule, and I look forward to a more well-balanced, better-paced version of this game with an actual difficulty curve.

Jun 22, 2021Short game with little content (even for rougelite). Graphic design hurts eyes. Rooms and enemies are boring. Some weapons or items ruining the game (run) - it's ok in TBOI, but BPM is no match the amount of varieties of items and their effects.

Nov 16, 2022Cool game. Awesome music, really gets you into the rhythm and it's hard to stop. However, my eyes are bleeding from so much orange...
Besides, not much reason to play BPM now when Metal: Hellsinger exists. -
Jun 15, 2023A fun arcade rhythm game that took a dozen or so tries for me to get the hang of, and then two days to beat with one of the playable characters. I don't the point of trying to beat it again, but I still occasionally play it as a warm up for playing something else. Also, music's banging.

Mar 6, 2023I never could seem to quite get down how to play this game. I like the idea in concept, but playing it might have turned me off from all rhythm shooters entirely.
It's not bad, but I just don't think it's for me.

Feb 12, 2025On one hand, BPM: Bullets Per Minute is a neat mix of FPS and rhythm gameplay. On the other one, it's a terribly unbalanced roguelike that is also in dire need of variety. Throw all these in a bowl, and the end result is a soup with a couple of ingredients that shouldn't be here… but, somehow the taste remains pretty darn good. After all, how can you go wrong with a game where you are in control of a Valkyrie that blasts monsters in Asgard with her shotgun, in sync with some fine heavy metal.

Dec 16, 2021After many tries, I did eventually find my way to and through the final boss, and all I wanted to do was do it again. I suppose in a lot of ways, that’s just the nature of roguelike games. They often offer a near bottomless replay value thanks to the “structured but random” structure of the format. This combined with the joy of bobbing your head along and clicking when you do so makes the experience a ton of fun and feel great. The quantity of content isn’t huge, but for $20 USD, I certainly think it is well worth the money.

Jul 13, 2021BPM: Bullets Per Minute is a fun shooter with a banging soundtrack, but its roguelike elements feel a tad undercooked. Still, where else can you dance around like a demon slayer while tearing through the hordes of hell, shooting on the beat and keeping the party going?
