About
Reggie the vampire is dognapping puppies and must be stopped! As Van Helsing, embark on a journey around the world to rescue the pups: from haunted mansions and museums to ghoulish graveyards, each stage is packed with unique challenges to overcome and secrets to discover.
Man's Best Friend: Van Helsing's faithful hound Silver can be summoned during stages to attack enemies - and even drive vehicles?! Any baddies hit with Silver will drop delicious bonus items that boost your score, so make the most of your canine pal's help.

Unlock & Upgrade: Grab gold coins hidden in stages to buy power-ups that will aid you in your quest. Collect enough coins to unlock the extra puzzle game mode Terror Blocks! Bonus items collected, challenges completed and secret items uncovered all count towards your progress to unlock extra weapons, from a zombie shredding shotgun to the devastating rocket launcher!

Top Dog: Arcade Mode and Terror Blocks both have online leaderboards, allowing you to track your progress and compete for the best score. And for those who'd rather show off their skills live, the game's low memory footprint keeps streams silky smooth.

Control & Conquer: With game design based on "Cabal Shooters" like Wild Guns Reloaded, Silver Bullet has extensive control customisation. Play with modern twin stick aiming or classic single stick using a gamepad, go retro with an arcade stick or focus on precision with a keyboard and mouse.

Old-school Cool: With personality filled pixel art, customisable retro screen filters and spooky synth-pop bops from the legendary YM2612 chip, Silver Bullet looks and sounds like a long-lost 16-bit classic.

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.
"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.
