Silver Bullet

Before RE4, Gears of War and Fortnite, this - aka crosshair/gallery shooters - is what 3rd person shooters looked like. Silver Bullet pays tribute to classics like Cabal, Wild Guns and Sin & Punishment while maintaining its own identity. Overall, it's an excellent time whether you want a fun bus ride romp or high score chaser.

Really satisfying arcade game with a lot of variety in each level. Feels good to play with an arcade stick. Definitely worth checking out for people who like shoot em' ups and retro/arcade games.

Fun score chaser

"Silver Bullet" is a really clever arcade game that deserves so much more love than it's currently getting. The mechanics will feel familiar to anyone who has played other Gallery Shooters like Wild Gun or Sin & Punishment, but kept fresh through the Bullet Hell attack patterns & melee / parry mechanics. The game feel is crunchy & addictive, and the scoring system opens up a lot of depth in how you can approach each stage. It's not too hard to beat, despite the intimidating first impression. There are only 6 main stages, with the rest either being shops or minigames where you can't take any real damage. The campaign hosts a surprising amount of scenario variety, thanks to the fantastic "Ghost Train" aesthetics. You visit locations like graveyards or haunted mansions, to more out-there locations like a Prehistoric Museum or an ancient tomb within a pyramid. 100% worth the money, even without the discount.

Good gameplay, great artstyle, great music and lots of fun

The game is a masterpiece. It’s so fun, has great art, great gameplay, and great music. A game that reminded me of being a kid and finding a good flash game. It’s an arcade type of game with a simple story. It is also addictive. The Good Good gameplay Great art Great music Great unlocks that expand the game a little. There are 3 types of controls to play with. It’s a short game. It can be beaten in around 36 mins. The Bad My hand started to hurt after playing it for a couple hours. You can’t move and shoot at the same time. Conclusion The team did an amazing job on the game. It’s good.

Unique shooter with a lot of variety and imagination. Every level feels different with new enemy types and secrets. Aiming while dodging is hard, and the screen feels very cramped with the so many big enemies and bullets. Do not use a gamepad. Aiming is much easier with a mouse and keyboard.

Fun small bullethell game. It has a perfect blend of skill and variety.

Un juego que, a primera vista, tiene una pinta espectacular, pero que al mismo tiempo me resulta increíblemente complicado de jugar. Los controles son tan peculiares que me cuesta muchísimo adaptarme. La mecánica es la clásica: apuntar con la mirilla mientras esquivas proyectiles enemigos, algo que en teoría debería ser sencillo si has jugado a shooters arcade. Pero con el mando me parece prácticamente imposible; siento que la mirilla va por su cuenta y yo por la mía. Con ratón la cosa tampoco mejora demasiado, porque mezcla ratón y teclado de una forma poco intuitiva que me descoloca por completo. Y jugar solo con teclado ni siquiera me he atrevido a probarlo, porque controlar una mirilla con teclas suena a experiencia poco agradable. Aun así, el juego terminó sorprendiéndome por su estética pixel art tan marcada, muy inspirada en los años 80. Tiene ese aire de recreativa clásica que te transporta directamente a las máquinas que nos fascinaban de niños o adolescentes. Lo que no tengo claro es si la dificultad viene de que yo no termino de entender su sistema de control o si realmente el juego está diseñado para ser así de exigente, casi como un homenaje a la dureza de los arcades de la época.

A short, but super-fun arcadey game with really nice retro aesthetics. Really replayable and no stage is exactly the same, which is good. The scoring mechanic is super-satisfying. Big plus for being able to play the game without any scanlines or CRT filters, but those are there, if you're into that stuff.
