Before the term "survivor-like" captured our attention, "bullet heaven" was a misnomer in the gaming world. Originally, it was all about "bullet hell," where players dodged an onslaught of projectiles trying to knock them out of the sky. Now, developer Hexadrive is set to bring the retro vibes of classic bullet hell games to mobile with their new release, Infinity Bullets.

Scheduled for a summer 2025 release, Infinity Bullets embraces a 90s-inspired arcade feel, transforming the bullet heaven genre. In this game, you'll take on the role of a pixelated commando, side-scrolling through space, unleashing a barrage of firepower against hordes of enemies and colossal bosses. As you progress, you'll upgrade your arsenal to truly absurd levels, ensuring a thrilling gameplay experience.

One of the standout features of Infinity Bullets is the variety of characters available for you to choose from. Each character comes with their own unique weapons and abilities, ranging from traditional space-suited warriors to cyborg ninjas and Egyptian sorcerers. While realism might not be the game's strong suit, the focus on fun is unmistakable.

Safety off For those familiar with arcade games of the past, Infinity Bullets promises to deliver that nostalgic space-based blasting experience. And for younger players or newcomers to the genre, this game serves as an accessible entry point into the survivors niche, offering a fresh take on bullet heaven gameplay. Best of all, it's set to be free-to-play, though supported by ads, making it low-risk to try out.

If you're still unsure about diving into Infinity Bullets, remember there's still time before its 2025 release. In the meantime, why not explore the genre further?
