3 bullets is a paid action-adventure roguelike game developed by studio cyber turtle. In this game, you’ll need to explore a map filled with enemies and navigate to advance to the next level. It has a retro 8-bit style that’s reminiscent of the console games of the late 70s to 80s.

Forget shooting, stealth is king

3 bullets uses its 8-bit style to its advantage as you play as an enigmatic stickman who wants to sneak past dozens of enemies. Explore through an expansive city and an abandoned train yard and pick up ammo and weapons, which can be found scattered through the area, in limited quantities.

As this game employs a roguelike quality, many obstacles demand precision. Unique weapons such as an EMP device disable enemies for a short time, while the rare rocket launcher disintegrates them, and enemy camps are procedurally generated. It works fine, aside from the fact that its style will polarize some players.

A distinct and deceptively simple game

3 bullets took a risk with its overall 8-bit presentation. The game’s map is expansive, the weapons are powerful but limited to ensure balance, and the enemies are challenging and randomized. Aside from the polarizing art choice, it can be a tough, yet enjoyable, good time for those who dare.
