As we already knew, thanks to word back in March, People Can Fly’s celebrated first-person shooter Bulletstorm is making its way to Switch. What we didn’t know previously, however, was when that would be – but now we do, and it’s out today!
Bulletstorm originally launched to much acclaim back in 2011, and Eurogamer’s Christian Donlan was also taken by its puerile charms, calling it “an astonishingly clever game folded up inside an exquisitely stupid one” in his 9/10 review. At first glance, you see, Bulletstorm is a fairly traditional shooter (albeit one that’s gaudily cartoonish, relentlessly inventive, and supremely daft), but its secret ingredient comes in the form of the ingenious Skillshot system.
Essentially, this rewards players with points for offing enemies in creative or surprising (and usually decidedly violent) ways, from kicking them into a cactus to yanking them in two.
