\"\"<\/a>Blast\u2019N Bounty is a bullet hell 2D vertically scrolling shooter with a neat gameplay gimmick.\u00a0 You can choose the stage you want to tackle, and when you beat the boss, you can choose a different subweapon to take into the next level, like a homing shot or spread bullets.\u00a0 Kind of reminds me of Mega Man in a way.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

When you start the game, you can choose a stage and the subweapon you\u2019ll take.\u00a0 Move around with the control stick and rapid fire by holding down the button.\u00a0 That\u2019s it.\u00a0 There are no screen clearing bombs or anything like that.\u00a0 When you pick up a power-up, a little ship will appear behind you.\u00a0 Whatever sub weapon you took with you, those little ships will fire out.\u00a0 You can have up to three following you.\u00a0 When you get hit, you\u2019ll lose a little ship.\u00a0 And when they are all gone and you get hit again, you\u2019ll explode.\u00a0 You can continue right where you left off three times, though.<\/p>\n

While the game is very hard, one thing I do like is how generous they are with power-ups. \u00a0You can even get a bunch during boss battles!\u00a0 It makes the game feel doable at least for a little while.\u00a0 Ultimately it got too hard for me unfortunately.\u00a0 I also didn\u2019t really notice special weapons being useful against certain bosses, like a Mega Man game.\u00a0 But at least this one kept me interested more than other bullet hell shooters usually do.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blast\u2019N Bounty is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You shoot spaceships that explode and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, but not necessary to play.\u00a0 Younger gamers may find it too difficult, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
