BULLET SOUL

[h1] Decent shmup with great soundtrack and lots of different enemies. Amazing visuals and engaging wave patterns. 3 characters to choose from. Challenging bosses that will make you scratch your head and think - what the heck is that? One of the key elements in gameplay is that enemy's bullets disappear when you take them down. Make sure to check out the sequel. Japanese vibes inbound! [/h1]

I used to own Bullet Soul on XBOX360, but stupidly traded-in the game years ago. The Microsoft XBOX store version is region-locked, so Steam is the only way to go now.

Never in my life I had to go above and beyond to fix the launch issues of a video game. Everytime I thought I had fixed this game, another issue took its place. Only by pure chance I was able to finally get this game to run normally... [b]And I went through all that FOR WHAT?!!!![/b] [h2]We have Crimzon Clover at home[/h2] Bullet Soul's gameplay has an emphasis on playing aggressively, destroying hordes of enemies with high firepower. It constantly encourages you to kill enemies as fast as possible, rewarding you with tons of points in doing so. The ships you control are also pretty fast to move around, allowing you to cover the whole screen with your attacks with ease. And complimenting the gameplay is a very well-composed & catchy soundtrack. This should h…

I rate Bullet Soul 3.5/5. Pretty good. (If you are in a big hurry you can stop reading here) However, the main TL;DR section begins right here: This is a pretty good vertical scrolling, arcade-style shmup game. While fairly short, this game doesn’t really do anything seriously wrong (other than make it apparently impossible to rebind the keys if you are using a keyboard (but the default keys are fairly intuitive once you figure out what they are)). Bullet Soul has good features (except when it comes to menus related to controls), responsive controls (once you figure out what they are), adequate graphics with a good sense of speed, adequate (though bland) music/sound, good (but somewhat bland) enemies and (asides from not being able to bind keyboard keys to a custom configuration) doesn’t do anything really irritating (it doesn’t force you to unlock characters, grind anything or give you a limited number of ‘continues’ when you die). This is a good little game for casual and serious arcade game players alike. The TL;DR section is now over. If you are in a hurry you can stop reading now. (Haven’t you ever seen any official government reports or technical scientific papers? They a…

The early stages is quite easy, the later levels is better.
