People Can Fly twist the corridor shooter into a stylish kill contest with kicks, electric leash and showy moves. It is loud, gleeful and the campaign owns its trashy humour with real sincerity.

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.
An FPS from People Can Fly and Epic Games, Bulletstorm leans on a skillshot system rewarding the most creative kills, combining an energy whip, kicks and trapped environments for spectacular takedowns. The over the top humour, the frantic pace and the inventiveness of the carnage make it a joyful, singular romp. The short campaign and a very juvenile tone divide. A carefree action FPS for fans of snappy shooting and stylised, inventive violence.
