Dec 22, 2014Even though Heavy Bullets flirts with roguelike ideas, it lacks replayability.
-
Nov 25, 2014Outside of a few ergonomic missteps, especially with the controller integration, it delivers an intense and immersive experience that rivals a lot of AAA FPS titles.
-
Nov 17, 2014I press on with Heavy Bullets because its luminescent vision sculpts that chaos from noise into a signal, and creates a deconstruction and resurrection of an idealized game that I'll never get to play, but never get tired of chasing.
-
Oct 18, 2014Heavy Bullets simplifies the control system to the bone, does not give the player a great offensive arsenal, and at the same time pushes the accelerator of a reasoned action and an above average challenge.
-
Oct 12, 2014A product with some flaws, but clever and challenging enough to give a few hours of interesting gameplay.
-
Oct 10, 2014A fun, original and pretty deep game, with lots of surprises and stuff to do.
-
Oct 8, 2014Perhaps 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.
-
Oct 8, 2014If 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.
-
Oct 7, 2014Though a bit on the short side, Heavy Bullets offers fun and addictive gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. It also introduces a game mechanic that feels fresh and brings something new to the realm of shooters.
-
Oct 3, 2014For 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.
-
Sep 23, 2014If you’re looking for something a little different, and don’t mind a bit of repetition, give Heavy Bullets a shot. Just remember to pick up your bullets after firing.
-
Sep 22, 2014While 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.
