Bulletstorm is an irreverent arcade FPS focused on creative kills and the Skillshot points system. Joyful action, unabashed vulgar humour and spectacular environments. Brash fun but honest.

An FPS that rewards creativity in carnage: impaling, launching and executing enemies in the most spectacular way possible to boost your score. This stylish-shooting mechanic, paired with unapologetic crude humour, delivers an instant, gleeful release. Snappy, over-the-top and fiercely fun, a shooter that turns every clash into a display of inventiveness.
A shooter from People Can Fly and Epic, Bulletstorm rewards creative carnage via the Skillshot system, which grants points for the most inventive kills, encouraging you to combine kicks, an energy leash and the environment. The supercharged action, the outrageous humour and the exhilarating joy of stylish killing cut against the seriousness of military FPS. The weak story and a certain repetition weigh on it. A good FPS for fans of snappy shooting, scoring and unashamed action.
