Bulletstorm
Bulletstorm injects a fresh wave of excitement into the first-person shooter genre with its unique ‘kill with skill’ mechanic. Set in a dystopian future, the game follows the story of a rogue mercenary unit called Dead Echo. When members Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato discover they’ve been duped by their commander, they are cast away to the outer reaches of the galaxy. As they navigate a dangerous landscape filled with mutant hordes and savage gangs in a once-thriving paradise, their mission becomes clear: survive and seek vengeance against their betrayer.
Players take on the persona of Grayson Hunt, armed with an impressive range of outrageous weaponry and outlandish combat moves. Bulletstorm’s innovative ‘skillshot’ system delivers unparalleled action and nail-biting excitement, rewarding players for unleashing chaos in imaginative ways. The more creative and over-the-top the skillshot, the more points players can earn, allowing for character upgrades and weapon unlocks that enable even wilder actions and epic skillshots.
