Before the survivor-like genre captivated us, the term "bullet heaven" was a misnomer. It was all about "bullet hell," where players dodged countless projectiles trying to knock them out of the sky. Now, developer Hexadrive is set to bring the retro vibes of the classic bullet hell genre to mobile with their new release, Infinity Bullets. Slated for a summer 2025 launch, this game promises a 90s-inspired arcade experience.
In Infinity Bullets, gameplay is exactly what you'd expect from a fusion of the original bullet hell and heaven genres. You'll control a pixelated commando, side-scrolling through space, blasting away hordes of enemies and confronting colossal bosses. As you progress, you'll upgrade your arsenal to increasingly absurd levels.
One of the standout features of Infinity Bullets is the variety of characters available. Each character comes with their own unique weapons and abilities, ranging from space-suited warriors to cyborg ninjas and Egyptian sorcerers. If realism isn't what you're after, then Infinity Bullets might just be the game for you.
Safety off
For fans of fun and nostalgia, Infinity Bullets aims to deliver an engaging space-based blasting experience reminiscent of classic arcade games. Set to be released in 2025, it offers a familiar thrill to older arcade players. For younger players or those new to the genre, Infinity Bullets could serve as an accessible entry point into the survivors niche, introducing a fresh take on the genre. As a free-to-play game with ad support, there's minimal risk in trying it out.
