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
What players say
