Infinity Bullets Transforms Bullet Heaven Genre

• Infinity Bullets is the latest bullet heaven title from developer Hexadrive.
• Set for a summer 2025 launch, it injects a nostalgic '90s arcade feel into the genre.
• Battle overwhelming enemy swarms and choose from a roster of unique characters, each with special abilities.

Before the surge of survivor-likes, the term "bullet heaven" didn't quite fit. The focus was entirely on bullet hell—dodging countless projectiles to stay alive. Now, Hexadrive aims to bring that classic bullet hell energy to mobile with Infinity Bullets.

In terms of gameplay, Infinity Bullets perfectly blends elements from both bullet hell and bullet heaven genres. You control a pixelated commando, scrolling sideways through space, annihilating waves of foes and confronting massive bosses while progressively upgrading your weapons to absurdly powerful levels.

Additionally, Infinity Bullets features a variety of playable characters. Each appears to have their own distinct weapons and skills. The roster includes everything from astronauts in familiar spacesuits to cyborg ninjas and Egyptian sorcerers. So if you're after realism, this might not be the game for you.

On the other hand, if you're just here for a good time, Infinity Bullets seems committed to delivering exactly that. Scheduled for release in 2025, it promises to deliver the kind of space-bound shooting action that older generations of arcade players will recognize.

For newer players or those unfamiliar with the genre, Infinity Bullets could serve as an accessible entry point into the survivor-like niche, offering a fresh perspective. And since it's planned as a free-to-play title (with ad support), there's little risk in trying it out.

Of course, if you're still on the fence, remember that Infinity Bullets won't be arriving for a while.
