BPM: Bullets Per Minute emphasises playing to the beat of the music. All of the player’s actions, as well as enemy actions are tied to the beat. The game is inspired by retro shooters of the 90s, and features movement options like rocket jumping, bunny hopping, double jumping, and dashing.

The game features randomly-generated dungeons, so no two playthroughs are bound to be the same. Each time the player starts the game, they will get access to random weapons and level layouts.

Ultimately, players have to beat 7 bosses to reach BPM: Bullets Per Minute‘s final boss> Bosses all move and attack in unique ways, and players will have to figure out strategies unique to the boss, while also keeping in mind the weapons they have access to in any particular run.

Aside from the Nintendo Switch, BPM: Bullets Per Minute is also available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Courtesy of Playtonic’s indie publishing arm Playtonic Friends, BPM: Bullets Per Minute is out now for PS4 and Xbox One, bringing its roguelike rhythm-based adrenaline-fueled action to consoles. Native PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions haven’t been released, but you can, of course, play the game on those consoles via backward compatibility. Check out its launch trailer below.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute is available now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Here’s hoping it eventually makes its way to the Nintendo Switch as well- and gets dedicated next-gen updates, while we’re at it.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute is about the Valkyries fighting the forces of Hel by traversing to the Underworld. This is done with a variety of weaponry and powers, though everything is done according to the beat. Shooting enemies in the randomly generated dungeons thus takes a bit more work than usual but it’s also more epic.

The console versions will also benefit from the Overdrive update which added five more characters, three new weapons and a new Chapter. Two new difficulties – Practice for newer players and Hellish for experienced ones – have also been added along with a new boss, 20 new items, Trials and much more.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute sees the player choosing one of 10 Valkyries, each with their own unique loadout, and venturing into the underworld to battle the forces of Hel. As a roguelite, the title offers randomly generated dungeons with different enemies to fight, unique weapons and different items to acquire. Of course, the major hook is the beat-based gameplay – everything, from movement to shooting, is done to the beat of an epic rock opera soundtrack.

Along with a normal playthrough, there are also challenge modes that further mix up the gameplay. Stay tuned for more details on BPM: Bullets Per Minute’s console release in the coming months. It could also end up coming to Xbox Series X/S and PS5 down the line as well.

Awe Interactive’s rhythmic first person shooter BPM: Bullets Per Minute has received a new, free update. It adds five new characters, each promising their unique play-styles; three new weapons; and one new chapter. There are also two new difficulties – Practice and Hellish – for new and grizzled players alike.

But that’s only scratching the surface. The update also adds new abilities and enemies, more unique rooms and a new boss along with over 20 new items. There are Trials, which will modify a run and make it tougher, and new challenges to complete. You’ll also encounter some new floor modifiers, in case the current ones weren’t annoying enough.

Some quality of life changes include a per chapter hue slider to modify the filter’s color and fixes for crashes. Lighting has also seen some changes while Ultrawide FOV support has been added in. Tweaks have also been made to some of the sounds.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute is currently available for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. It seems there won’t be any more updates. “We’ve loved making this game, and with this update finished, we’re planning the future for games from Awe Interactive,” noted the developer.

I Am Dead

I Am Dead is a game about, well, being dead. It’s actually about museum curator Morris Lupton who’s recently passed on. However, a volcano is set to erupt on the island of Shelmherston and it’s up to Morris, along with the ghost of his dog Sparky, to stop it. How do you ask? Why, by venturing across the island and discovering different ghosts, using X-ray vision to dissect the surroundings and ultimately piece together the island’s big mystery while making cheery observations throughout. Equal parts adventure, puzzle, exploration and humor, I Am Dead is a charming title with an unorthodox premise.
