Ever since I played the first Bullet Heaven game on Kongregate, I knew I had to pick up the 2nd game on Steam.

I'm not someone who has played a bunch of shoot 'em ups before, but I can say that Bullet Heaven 2 is very accessible for beginners of the genre, such as myself. There's 3 difficulty settings to switch between, and a variety of unlockable characters, abilities, and cheats to experiment with.

The highlight for me is definitely the boss battles. Defeating them is quite satisfying and the great soundtrack adds a delightfully tense feel to it. Seeing your highscores and comparing them to your friends' is also fun.

I must however, admit that I am a sucker for cute stuff and this game definitely satisfies that, while also being very fun to play all the way through. The Cat and Slime Bunny achievements in particular are adorable, and I'll definitely be putting one of them on my profile at some point. :3

My only nitpick is that I couldn't get Remote Play to work when trying to play with a friend, as they weren't able to see the game window for some reason. I have had random problems with Remote Play before so maybe it works for others, I did only try this once after all. It didn't take away from my experience in any real way though. ^^
