Heavy Bullets is a game that just presents a platter of eggs and says "You have to eat all the eggs" and cowards would cry and say it's too many eggs But me, I'm built different, and presented with all these eggs I just imagined all the delectable egg dishes I'm about to have, and now that I'm on my 15th omelet I'm still going strong

does not have enough style or fun to get past the basic albeit for a purpose graphics and combat, very very not good
