    Топовая игра, а саунд просто пушка.
    К визуалу быстро привыкаешь, а солянка жанров выдаёт очень уникальный и приятный опыт.

    Хороший ритм-шутер с элементами рогалика и крутой музыкой . Всем рекомендую к ознакомлению.

    This game is fantastic! Its a perfect mix of rhythm heaven, doom, and the binding of issac. It's a quite difficult game, but that's what I enjoy about it, easy to learn, crazy difficult to master, though I do wish it had an option to change the difficulty. Admittedly it has some other problems, mainly having to do with the rng totally screwing you over sometimes, but I've never personallyThis game is fantastic!

    Fun game and great music. Aesthetic and style of the game is also good. Balance and longevity needs some work.

    I absolutely loathe the graphical style. OMG it is so bad. But, you know what? That is totally irrelevant right now. This game is so much fun and so addictive. Slap on some good headphones and get immersed!

Two caveats: if you don't enjoy hard rock music then you may struggle to enjoy this experience (I wouldn't listen to the soundtrack outside of playing the game but I can enjoy it enough while playing), and it is a particularly difficult shooter even on "easy" mode. But oh so much fun. Just watch, musicians of all stripes, shapes and sizes are going to want on this bandwagon for interactive music entertainment. The best element of this game? Without a question, it is the ability to regenerate in a new level each time you die. Don’t get me wrong. You don’t want to die. Ever. But at least you don't do the same enemies time and time again, whenever you die. Another smart feature they implemented is to play really, really annoying sounds after you die. The best way to avoid that sound is to quickly launch into another game before you have time to think about whether you want another round of mayhem. And it works beautifully.… Expand

    Phenomenal game. I love the rhythm and challenge it brings to the table. The game is not perfect by any means, but I think the sheer creativity and uniqueness this game has makes this a masterpiece for $20. I'm not even rly into this kind of music, but holy crap do I love it here. If you like something like Doom and love that sort of music I couldn't recommend it to you more

    This is a love me or hate me game. If the soundtrack and gameplay clicks for you, you will have a great time and the flaws wont bother so much. Hopefully overtime the devs can update the ui and balancing so the game feel better balanced and polished. I am having a blast playing it!! Its been awhile since I had so much fun. Also, its a rather cheap game so you can easily give it a chance.

    It is really good shooter version of "Crypt of the Necrodancer". Highly recommended!

    I'm not a fan of the art style at all, but regardless, the gameplay is extremely rewarding to learn and very fun, the game is somewhat simple, but worth a try nonetheless.

    The game isn't perfect, it's still very much finding where it stands but it's a fantastic concept and it executes it well, stick with this game and support the developer, it deserves to be worked on further.

    FUn game with an interesting new idea, it deserves your time and attention. Really hope the music element is mixed in with even more types of games in the future.

    very nice idea. It has much content especially after the Overdrive update but of course has a few issues here and there so don't expect a masterpiece but you can have much fun with it

    The gameplay is challenging and fun. The music is really nice and makes the rhythm shooting all the more fun. The graphics could use some work to make the enemies more visible, but to say that they are "Bad" because they don't fit in a stupid box of "the standard fps look" is a laughable complaint.

If you don't like rogue-likes, fast-paced action and rhythm-based games, what are you doing playing this game? However, they just recently added an extra easy mode for those who struggle with the mechanics and a bunch of content for those who have a problem with the lack of content. (Even though the low price of the game is worth the amount of content it originally had at release).… Expand

    Very innovative mix of rhythm, fps and rougelite elements feels awkward at first but as you settle in to the mechanics you will find yourself the star of a drug inspired metal music video.

    Great rogue-like shooter with an interesting twist. The game is really elevated by the energetic music. Bit of a learning curve at the beginning but after a few runs you start to automatically sync your actions to the beat.
    Only complaint is that in the last levels it's harder to clear standard rooms than defeating the bosses.

    On 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.

    After 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.

    BPM: 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?
