Infinity Bullets brings the bullet hell to the bullet heaven genre
- Infinity Bullets is a new bullet heaven release from Hexadrive
- It’s slated for a summer 2025 release, and brings a 90s-inspired arcade vibe to the genre
- Take on hordes of enemies and play multiple, distinct characters with their own abilities
Before the survivor-like took hold of us, the term bullet heaven was a complete misnomer. No, it was all about bullet hell, and dodging metric tons of projectiles as they attempted to knock you out of the sky. Now, developer Hexadrive is looking to translate the retro vibes of the classic bullet hell genre to mobile with Infinity Bullet.
Gameplay-wise, Infinity Bullet is exactly what you’d expect from a mashup of the original bullet hell and heaven genres. You’ll play a pixelated commando side-scrolling through space, blasting away hordes of enemies and taking on enormous bosses as you slowly upgrade your arsenal to truly ridiculous levels.
What’s more, Infinity Bullet also boasts multiple characters to pick from. Each with their seemingly own distinctive weapons and abilities. These range from familiar space-suit wearing warriors to cyborg ninjas and Egyptian sorcerers. So if you’re looking for realism, then you might not find it in Infinity Bullet.
Safety off
But at the same time, if you’re looking for fun, it seems that Infinity Bullet is intent on delivering. Slated for a 2025 release date, it looks set to offer the kind of space-based blasting familiar to arcade players of the older generation.
But for younger players, or those coming fresh to the genre, Infinity Bullets could be an entry-level way to get into the survivors niche with a fresh new take. And since it’s set to be free-to-play (albeit ad-supported), there’s not all that much at risk to give it a go.
However, if you’re still sceptical, there’s still a way off until Infinity Bullets arrives. So, if you want to look into the genre further and see if it clicks for you, why not check out our list of the best mobile games like Vampire Survivors to see our top picks of bullet heaven releases!
