Bullet Run

Bullet Run is a free-to-play FPS games that is available to the public later this year. You are born with four basic skills and as you progress, you will unlock more.

In Bullet Run, you can put down a turret, for example, to guard a well-traveled hallway, or beef yourself up into a high damage monster. Skills do mix up the action, but they don’t seem well-balanced: I went into an akimbo mode at one point, and was able to trounce the entire enemy team without too many problems. Fun for me, not so much for them, I’m sure.

Killing an enemy allows you to do a quick taunt with the keyboard, which both earns you “Heat,” the game’s currency, and forces them to watch you do it. That’s funny maybe the first or second time you do it to someone else, but it’s more frustrating the fifth or sixth time you die. The game’s costumes are a little goofy, too, which is probably good for those who like wacky customization options, but not so much for knowing who’s on which team.
