very fun FPS dungeon roamer where you try not to die and get through each randomly generated levels. You have 6 rounds in your revolver and can pick up bullets after you have already shot them. There are stores throughout each level and you can even store money saved for future runs. Great game with a great art style. Def check out future games made by same developers! <3

My playtime speaks for itself. I sunk hours and hours into this game years ago and never beat it, and now, upon finding it tucked away in my library, I have nothing but fond memories for it. The game is punchy, punishing, and paranoia-inducing. The items are fun and change up the gameplay in really enjoyable ways. There are plenty of limitations keeping you from achieving an overpowered state, though, as with all great rougelikes, there is plenty there to help you along the way as well. Overall, I recommend this to anyone who likes methodical shooters and a good challenge.

Quick fun game if you want an aim trainer, this definitely will do that for you. The gimmick of the game doesn't match the premise of the game at all though, and while its not detrimental it does hold the game back. The premise is that when you shoot a bullet, it lands on the ground and can be picked up again. Since there is absolutely no incentive to go fast, and are actively punished by the snakes hiding in the foliage and turrets (which fire way too quickly once they see you), you are better off slow clearing each room, methodically peeking and clearing every corner of a room, taking as minimal agro as you can. Like I said this isn't necessarily a bad thing, if you play "valorant" or "CS:GO" this kind of methodical, peek-and-clear gameplay is very helpful as practice for those games. However, it makes the idea of picking up your own bullets, completely obsolete. Since you can take as much time as you want picking every bullet up. While I think the heavy bullets mechanic does is incentivize a slow playstyle, since if you try to go too fast, you'll probably miss your bullets, its hard to believe this was the intention of the developers. Since even boss fights are clearly designed to be move-based. I will say that the rogue-like aspect is clearly just an after thought, and breaks the game a ton, where you can just save money in the bank and then buy everything you see once you have enough. Regardless, it was a fun game. buy it on sale I guess. Definitely a challenging 5 hour experience.

Heavy Bullets is an absolute blast! This roguelike shooter combines fast-paced action with a unique twist that keeps you on your toes. The gameplay is both challenging and addictive, requiring quick reflexes and strategic thinking as you navigate the procedurally generated levels. The retro-inspired graphics and catchy soundtrack create an engaging atmosphere that draws you in right from the start. I love the mechanic of reloading bullets after firing—it's a clever touch that adds an extra layer of tension and strategy to every encounter. You really have to think about your shots and plan your moves carefully. Each run feels fresh, with a variety of enemies and power-ups that keep things interesting. The thrill of trying to beat your high score while dodging and shooting is incredibly satisfying. Plus, the simple yet effective design makes it easy to pick up and play for both short sessions and longer gaming marathons. Overall, Heavy Bullets is a fantastic experience for anyone looking for a challenging and fun shooter. It's a gem that keeps you coming back for more. Highly recommend giving it a try!
