‘DOOM’ Meets ‘Crypt of The Necrodancer’ in ‘Bullets Per Minute’

Published

on

We’ve said it many times before, but the DOOM series has always had awesome music. And while Awe Interactive’s upcoming Bullets Per Minute doesn’t appear to share the same driving metal soundtrack as DOOM, there’s plenty of monsters and demons for you to mow down. If you can find the rhythm, that is.

In Bullets Per Minute, a “rhythm-action FPS roguelike” inspired by retro shooters of the 90s, you must make your way through randomly-generated dungeons, all to the beat of the soundtrack. You’ll play as one of five different Valkyries, each with unique strengths and weaknesses, wielding an array of weapons with different beat-based firing and reloading characteristics.

At the moment, it’s not clear how keeping to the rhythm plays into the game. Whether you gain extra damage by maintaining the beat is unclear. What is clear, however, is that you’ve got seven bosses to face off against, each with their own specific weaknesses that you’ll have to discover and exploit.

Currently, Bullets Per Minute is set for an August 2020 release on Steam.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game

Published

on

Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.

Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”

In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”

Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.

Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
