What is Heavy Bullets?

In this single-player first-person shooter, you make repeated runs through a neon-lit facility to reset its security mainframe. You fight creatures and malfunctioning security drones with a revolver, retrieve fired bullets to reload, and buy items. Money deposited in the bank carries over after death.

For you if...

  • +you like careful shooting that rewards precise aim
  • +you enjoy difficult runs built around learning enemy behavior

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer forgiving combat over repeated difficult runs
  • −you want frequent changes in combat as levels progress
