Save the world of online multiplayer games from a rogue AI in this deck-building strategy roguelite! Collect more than 160 cute and colourful Bullets as you move through maps based on iconic game genres and defeat enemies in challenging turn-based combat.
Players construct customized decks by collecting and assembling a deck of "Bullets" (the game's term for character cards). Each run starts with a preset deck based on the chosen map/chapter, which provides a different strategic focus. Players can then augment their deck by purchasing new Bullets at shops, obtaining them as rewards, or scouting them using in-game currency. The deckbuilding is quite flexible, as players can freely swap out and rearrange their Bullets as they acquire new ones throughout a run.
A key part of the gameplay is finding and building around synergistic combos between Bullets and their associated Cartridges (relic-like modifiers). Many Bullets have unique abilities, keywords, and affinities that can work together in powerful ways when assembled properly. Players who can identify and construct coherent, cohesive deck strategies tend to find great success. The variety of Bullet types, from damage-focused to defensive to utility-based, allows for a wide range of viable playstyles.
The game incorporates a significant amount of randomness, as the pool of available Bullets and Cartridges is generated randomly each run. This can create both fortunate and frustrating situations, requiring players to adapt their strategies based on the specific cards they're able to acquire. Recognizing when to pursue specific synergies versus taking what the game provides can make the difference between a successful run and an early defeat.
The difficulty in the game can be quite punishing at times, with some normal encounters posing a greater threat than boss battles. However, players can incrementally improve their chances of success by unlocking new Bullets and Cartridges through gameplay progress, steadily expanding their deckbuilding options and potential strategies. The ability to choose different starting decks for each map/chapter adds further replayability and encourages players to explore various approaches to overcome the game's obstacles.
