About the Game
Bulletstorm is a fast-paced first-person shooter. Players take the role of Grayson 'Gray' Hunt, the captain of a space pirate crew made up of former soldiers from the elite army unit Dead Echo. Ten years before, during an assassination job, they discovered the sinister motives of their commander General Serrano. The unit's job was cleaning its tracks by eliminating opposition parties, this time a journalist with compromising documents on the general.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The gameplay is based on a skillshots system. When an enemy is killed with certain conditions, like thumping them onto spikes or decapitating them with a headshot, players gains skillpoints. Skillpoints are spent on dropkits for weapon upgrades, like alternative fire mode and ammo capacity increase, and ammunition. Leg lets players kick enemies into the air, slow down time, or control enemies in close range. Leash allows a bit more: pulling up enemies and weapons toward players or thumping crowds sky high.
