Review by Ginny W. Imagine waking up in a room filled with tacky decor from the 50s. It’s dark, barring the scant light filtering through the windows because of the ominous lightning storm that’s raging outside. You don’t know your own name, you don’t know where you are, and the…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Because bullet hell shooters are designed with a very specific demographic in mind, a game like Bullet Soul is able to articulate its appeal to that crowd in under thirty seconds.

However, the promised scope of the game combined with several familiar narrative, visual, and gameplay elements were cause for concern before even beginning. Can an indie developer successfully create a game experience…
