    Even though Heavy Bullets flirts with roguelike ideas, it lacks replayability.

    A product with some flaws, but clever and challenging enough to give a few hours of interesting gameplay.

    Perhaps the game could have benefited from more enemies, events, discoveries, or more unique items. The neon charm was always a pleasure to play through, but overall I felt Heavy Bullets wore thin over time. If you’re a huge fan of rogue-like dungeon crawlers it’s worth a shot, but not six bullets.

    If you have the patience and will to beat a monster of a difficult game then you’re quite probably going to get your money’s worth here. It’s also impressively developed by just one man I believe. Terri Vellmann you can certainly be proud of your game but less worms in future please. I’m still having sleepless nights over them.

    For gamers seeking a slice of arcade-style action, they could certainly do a lot worse than Heavy Bullets. The gameplay is fun, the aesthetics are first-class, and for people who love a challenge, it will certainly provide them with one.

    While I enjoy the odd FPS and rogue-like game, Heavy Bullets never really managed to grab me like I hoped it would. Do not get me wrong Heavy Bullets is a competent arcade shooter and rogue-like rolled into one. The cheap price is another bonus. Yet there are just a few too many aspects about the game that I didn’t find entertaining at all.

    Heavy bullets is a fun little game I just bought for 2 dollars. It's a roguelike, and like MANY roguelike's, IT"S HARD. The thing I like aboutHeavy bullets is a fun little game I just bought for 2 dollars. It's a roguelike, and like MANY roguelike's, IT"S HARD. The thing I like about heavy bullets is the fast gameplay, making it so you can speedrun the game, or attempt to, then die trying. However, with that said, there's one flaw to this game: the randomly generated levels. Why? because it can make the game TOO hard sometimes. Turrets are the worst sometimes, but having 6 of them at spawn is insane, yet it happened to me 2 times in a row!

    Overall, heavy bullets is NOT for everyone (please refer to the 1 anonymous user that gave it a negative rating), but it's also very fun, fast, and HARD. 7/10    … Full Review »
