That satisfying flow and well-tuned gameplay make the lack of big-budget polish a negligible issue. The game is also only $20, making it well worth every cent, and further excusing some of the repetition and lack of polish. The biggest complaints with the game are not that the concept and execution aren't good enough, the issue is that the game deserves more content, more attention, and more development of its great ideas.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute is one of the most exhilarating shooter experiences I’ve had recently, thanks to fast gameplay, varied gunfights, and a high skill ceiling to aim for via the many runs the players will inevitably go through. Ironically enough, the rhythm-based shooting is perhaps the title’s least fun key mechanic, but it can almost entirely be turned off, which shockingly made the game better. As with other roguelites, luck plays a big part, as certain dungeons and item generations are almost impossible to beat, with others being almost too easy to blast through. But that’s part of the...

BPM: Bullets Per Minute demands its pound of flesh in terms of initial difficulty, and many will find this off-putting. But persist and you'll be rewarded with a unique roguelike rhythm-based FPS with a metal soundtrack that slaps harder than the hand of God.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute has nothing new to offer but its rhythm-based combat. Luckily, that combat is immensely satisfying, even when the surrounding structure can feel a touch empty.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute was originally releases on Steam a bit over two years ago. Around its one-year anniversary, the game saw its first release on consoles, namely Xbox and Playstation. Our own Jordan Hawes tackled this port last year, which you can read here. As what we can only assume is part of a celebration of the original game’s second anniversary, a shocking Nintendo Switch version is finally out, with owners of the handheld now being able to see how many demon bats, spiders, and e...

BPM: Bullets Per Minute is a rhythm-action, FPS, rogue-like game where you must shoot, jump and dodge to the beat of an epic rock soundtrack.

BPM is a difficult game to recommend because it is just too damn difficult! There isn’t so much a difficulty curve as a brick wall, and the resultant over-reliance on RNG can make for a frustrating experience. The core game is brilliantly inventive and it feels fantastic when you get in the flow, but there are just too many obstacles in the way. Hopefully Awe Interactive will patch things to make the game more accessible as there is the basis for an indie gem here.
