Bullet Casters

Il gioco mette davvero alla prova i giocatori, specialmente per i neofiti del genere. Per ora ho giocato solo in singolo, ma la possibilità di giocare anche con amici è un valore aggiunto. Faccio davvero i miei complimenti agli sviluppatori per le componenti grafiche e musicali, eccezionali!

Fun to play, hard to master! eye catching art and cool characters. very energetic music. some character coould be more creative in what they do, i hope they add more in the future!

The game didn't catch my interest in the slightest and looking at the other reviews, I'm starting to wonder if I played a different game. The bite-sized stages are boring and none of the characters feels particularly good to play. The entire thing looks and feels like a mobile game. The UI is very flat which is in stark contrast to the in-game graphics which attempt to emulate pixel art. The backgrounds are 3D that try to be 2D and while it works well in some places, other places look right out hideous. Each area comes with 5 stages. Each stage plays exactly the same: a few, usually 1-10, enemies enter the screen and remain either stationary or move left and right and shoot a few, slowly-moving bullets. There is a timer to beat and a stage goal of taking no hits for which you get up to 3 stars. 5 Stars in total are required to move to the next area. The stages are so similar, from backgrounds to enemy patterns, that I often thought I had accidentally selected the same stage again. They're also not very challenging. Bullets are slow and with wide gaps in between. The difficulty is practically zero and doesn't seem to increase at all. On the contrary, it only gets easier as you buy shields and options that increase survivability and damage. You have four characters to choose from and all of them feel pretty meh, mainly because their weapons are weak. The witch has a single stream peashooter and her special ability is a turret that targets the nearest enemy. I found her to be the best character since it's the most traditional one. The single-stream peashooter feels really bad though. The electro guy has two orbiting spheres. Pressing the special button when they overlap fires a powerful electrobeam. The overlap window is small and you constantly have to watch your character. I couldn't get the rhythm down without looking at it and even with looking at it, it's hard to hit consistently. Very cumbersome and distracting. The fire guy has a wide-range shot with low fire rate that felt pretty weak. His special summons an ugly, stationary 3D fire sphere that probably damages enemies that touch it. I don't know since there is no in-game feedback for it. And lastly the katana girl. Tap the button to fire a single stream ahead. Hold the button to charge a devastating strike that moves you forward half a screen and damages everything in your path. The special is a teleport circle that you can put down and return to. So the playstyle is to charge attack and immediately return to your circle to not take damage. The charge up is cool and this is definitely the most interesting character. As for early access, the game's menu has a Discord link so I guess all the developer interaction happens there. On the Steam forums, a guy who is/was presumably part of the development team answered some questions, but there is no response to any of the few feedback threads. Also the last update was in September of 2023, which was the targeted release date according to the store page, and there is no news anywhere. Delays happen but delays plus radio silence is usually a bad sign. So beware, the game might be abandoned.

pretty cute mission mode shmup, the siege mode is pretty intriguing too if you want some local coop. I just finished up to the coming soon part. This shmup will be pretty neat when it fully releases.

엉성하긴 해도 한글화가 있다는 것에 놀람 슈팅게임으로썬 아주 훌륭한 작품이라 생각하는데 인디게임 특유의 날것같은 맛은 좀 있는것같음 이래저래 사운드나 클리어 효과, 스프라이트같은 아트 쪽에서 특히 두드러지는 것 같기는 한데.. 게임만 재밌으면 아무래도 상관없다고 생각함 5천원 값은 제대로 하는 듯 BGM은 슈팅게임 장르의 이름을 부끄럽지 않게 하는 매우 훌륭한 수준

Really good game! I like the challenge it offers and so far I haven't encountered any bugs. The characters are cute and the stage tracks are insane BANGERS! 100% recommended if you're into this type of game.

PRO: Bullet Casters is a bullet hell game that offers frenetic and engaging dynamics, thanks to its well-crafted colorful graphics and pixel art. The characters are designed with attention to detail and stand out for their unique style. A great feature is the ability to play in two via Remote Steam Play. Highly recommended for fans of the bullet hell genre, and those looking for an intense gaming experience. CONS: N/A, it's super worth for this price, and funny to play with a friend! ^^ Cheers
