You enter a colorful, randomized maze of corridors to reset a malfunctioning security mainframe at the end of the eighth level. Aggressive creatures and security devices stand between you and the goal.
Combat centers on a revolver with six bullets: after firing, you must retrieve each bullet before you can use it again. Move carefully, watch your ammunition, and use corners and other parts of the environment to handle threats.
Runs also involve finding items and perks, shopping at vending machines, and managing limited carrying space. Death is permanent, but money deposited in banks carries over to future attempts; items such as insurance or a will can preserve other resources.
Players who enjoy Heavy Bullets often point to the unusual need to retrieve fired ammunition and the careful, tactical rhythm of clearing rooms as its main draws. Some also appreciate its neon visuals and soundtrack. Other reviewers find the difficulty unfair or the levels and enemy selection too repetitive, so reactions to the tense, minimalist design vary.
