Description

Save 20% when purchasing BPM: BULLETS PER MINUTE Soundtrack and BPM: BULLETS PER MINUTE game together!



Fight as a mighty Valkyrie to repel the forces of the underworld from invading the world of Asgard.

Gameplay

In BPM, all of your actions and the actions of your enemies are tied to the beat of the music. Your enemies perform a dance-like sequence of attacks to an epic rock opera. BPM is inspired by retro shooters of the 90’s. It is fast, frenetic and rhythmical. You can double jump, dash, rocket jump and bunny hop to evade your opponents.

Your goal is to reach the end of randomly generated dungeons, collecting different weapons, abilities and items each time you play. These weapons and abilities can radically alter the way you play, making each playthrough unique.

You must defeat 7 bosses to reach the final boss. Each boss moves and attacks in a unique way that you must learn to exploit if you want to succeed. Some attacks require you to jump over fields of lava, some to dodge fast projectiles, some to hold fast for a beat.

Features:

  • Shoot, jump and dodge to the beat while battling hordes of enemies.
  • Fight powerful bosses in challenging boss battles that will push you to the edge.
  • Explore randomly generated dungeons.
  • Choose from 5 different characters with unique strengths and weaknesses.
  • Wield a powerful arsenal of weapons, all with different behaviour for firing and reloading to the beat of the soundtrack.
  • Battle a diverse array of enemies, each with unique rhythmic behaviours.
  • Get overpowered and fire shotgun rockets while flying through the air.
  • Utilize abilities that radically alter the way you play the game, from teleport to freezing bolts.
  • Equip over 40 items that buff your character in unique and interesting ways.
  • Experience an epic rock opera soundtrack.
  • Challenge modes for extra gameplay.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute is an addictive, innovative, and punishingly hard roguelite shooter-slash-rhythm game - and it's great

4.5/5 stars
That satisfying flow and well-tuned gameplay make the lack of big-budget polish a negligible issue. The game is also only $20, making it well worth every cent, and further excusing some of the repetition and lack of polish. The biggest complaints with the game are not that the concept and execution aren't good enough, the issue is that the game deserves more content, more attention, and more development of its great ideas.

Paradoxically good

A blend of probably my least favorite genres in video games into my one of my favorite games.

Doom-like Rush, Roguelike Fun.

I wholeheartedly recommend the game. + the gameplay experience is intense; + the replayability is high, if you find out that this is your type of game; + a broad difficulty range - something for everyone; + the soundtrack is great; + different characters with distinct gameplay quirks; This game would've been given full five stars by me but there are some things that are holding it back in my opinion: - very little explanation is given to the player whilst playing; - no context or details about gear is provided, which is necessary for the player to make a decision if they want to carry on with this type of equipment or at least to know how it works. - the fully randomised chest rewards and shop items, coupled with the character mechanics sometimes lead to the player being rewarded with something that has no use for them at all (but that is just some pointer for the developers in case they are reading those reviews too); - enemy damage seems to be somewhat uniform (i.e. small enemies hit just as hard as the large ones) which is not quite ideal; Despite the drawbacks, my opinion is that the game is worth the attention to players who enjoy rhythm-based FPS games. The short duration of a run is very appealing if you are into 30 to 90 minute play sessions. I consider the game to be a lot of fun and I encourage everyone reading the review to consider giving it a try.
