Mad Bullets Kit for Switch - includes downloadable switch code in box game

Product Information

Mad Bullets is a Western throwback to this genre previously released on Steam and iOS but it was the port to the Switch that interested me as it claims to use the features of the Joycons to act as a pseudo light gun. Remember, even if the Joy-Cons reticule’s start to wander or aren’t centred, all you need to do is press the B button to re-centre it or go to pause menu and re-calibrate it there. That’s what you would have heard in the days of Red Dead Redemption, but for the modern world, it would be more like “step away from the keyboard and put the Café Bombón down”.

My niggle with this was incoming projectiles on the far left or right of the screen as when reloading, the reticle would go back to the centre, and you’d eventually take a bullet to the face.The positives I can give is the the game looks and sounds great, there is some good variety in the levels, and assuming you are not playing a Switch Lite, you have two joycons which allows you to play two player without the need for extra accessories. Shooting crates and barrels can unearth a few different power-ups or collectables such as the death bomb, multiplier bonus and gold coins. The graphics are bright and colourful and look great on the Switches’ screen, plus the frame-rate is pretty solid.

After your payment has been processed, the content will be downloaded to the applicable system linked to your Nintendo Account, or your Nintendo Network ID in the case of Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family systems.We aren’t spoilt for choice with this type of game on the Switch, let alone other platforms, but regardless, this is a title definitely worth playing, and I think it takes the mantle of light gun games for me until Sega Ages attempt a H ouse of the Dead 2 port.

There were times where my sight would go out of bounds and didn’t reflect on-screen what I was doing with the controller. When you start, you’re shooting outlaws and the odd stray chicken, but as you progress through the 60 different levels, you’ll begin to encounter more absurd things to shoot – most of which will be objects like barrels that award you with points or helps to complete a challenge like hit so many crates or bullets out of the sky, but pretty early in the game, you’ll shoot piranhas mid-air.

As a dusty gamer with heritage, it was quite refreshing to play Mad Bullets as it’s essentially a light gun game. Looking at review for the PC and iOS versions of the the game it actually get very positive reviews. It’s so frustrating because the game looks great and is actually really fun when you not having issues with the controls. This system must be updated to the latest system software and connected to the internet with automatic downloads enabled, and it must have enough storage to complete the download.
