Bullet Heaven #232 - Horizon Shift '81

Fixed shooters like Space Invaders have been a thing for a good 40 years now, and new ones are seeing release all the time, it seems. One such title on Nintendo's Switch is Flump Studio's Horizon Shift 81. It has some interesting ideas about what a fixed shooter can be... But how does it stack up?

Bullet Heaven 231 - Gundemoniums (PS4)

Over 180 episodes ago, we took a look at Rockin' Android's Gundemonium Collection on the Playstation 3. One of the three games included was a title called Gundemonium recollection which, while not as good as the third title in the series, GundeadliGne, was still pretty great. Well, Gundemonium is back with its newest evolution on the playstation 4 and Vita, know known as Gundemoniums. So it's finally time to dig deep into what this one is all about... but how does it stack up?

Bullet Heaven #230: Rival Megagun (PC)

Twinkle Star Sprites was a pretty fantastic game, but it stands almost completely alone. Rival Megagun looks to spice things up though! How does this TSS-alike stack up?

Bullet Heaven #229 - Game Tengoku Cruisin' Mix Special (PS4)

Game Tengoku was always one of our favorite episodes of Bullet Heaven to make. It turned out pretty good back in episode 37, and the game itself is one of the best we've played on Saturn yet. But a lot of its best parts were also hidden behind a wall of Japanese that most western players likely didn't grasp. Not anymore though, as Degica Games has finally brought the new PS4 conversion to the west in Game Tengoku: The Game Paradise CruisinMix Special! There's a lot to love here... But how does it stack up?

Bullet Heaven #228 - Black Bird (Switch)

Inspired by the classics but with some of the best visual and sound design we've seen on Bullet Heaven so far,  Black Bird is an excellent argument in favor of games as art. One of the freshest shooters we've played to date, this game has to be seen - and heard - to be believed.  But how does it stack up?  Let's take a closer look!
