Bullet Heaven is a bullet hell shooter game in the Epic Battle Fantasy series. It's a spinoff of the main series of RPG games, much like Adventure Story.

Controls[]

Bullet Heaven has customizable controls, but has two default control schemes - one for keyboards and one for the mouse. Players can use a combination of these two control schemes (e.g. you could use the mouse to move but use the keyboard to fire your weapons).

For both control schemes, P and Esc can be used to bring up the pause menu.

Mouse Controls[]

  • Mouse: Move
  • Shift Key: Focus (slows down your character's movement to dodge projectiles more easily)
  • Left Click: Main Weapon
  • Double Left Click: Sub Weapon
  • Space Bar: Bomb

Keyboard Controls[]

  • Arrow Keys: Move
  • Shift Key: Focus (slows down your character's movement to dodge projectiles more easily)
  • Z: Main Weapon
  • X: Sub Weapon
  • C: Bomb

Gameplay[]

Bullet Heaven features a set of levels - 20 main levels, 4 bonus levels, and a survival mode - in which the goal is to survive until the end of each level by shooting your way through hordes of enemies, which shoot out projectiles in all sorts of crazy patterns. The main 20 levels are divided into four worlds, each with a different theme and a boss battle in the fifth level, and the bonus levels are rematches against the bosses, who will have more difficult attack patterns compared to their normal battles.

In Bullet Heaven, you are able to play through the levels as any of the Epic Battle Fantasy characters, including the new ranger character Anna who makes her debut in this game (although you can only play as Matt and NoLegs at first; the rest are unlocked by completing various milestones). Each character has a unique main weapon, sub weapon, and bomb attack; main weapons are a standard attack that have no cooldown and can be charged for a stronger effect, sub weapons are stronger attacks that take a little while to cool down, and bombs are screen nukes that have devastating effects on enemies but are limited and must be used sparingly.

The enemies are capable of firing ludicrous amounts of projectiles, but this is remedied by the fact that all five characters have a very small hitbox. This hitbox can be seen by Focusing; Focusing is an ability activated by holding down the Shift key, which makes your character move slowly and also displays the hitbox so that you can concentrate more easily on dodging projectiles. As you kill enemies, they'll drop money and sometimes power-ups to aid you in various ways. When a level ends, you get a rank ranging from F to S depending on how many enemies you killed and how many times you got hit. Getting lots of As and Ss on levels will unlock extra features for you in the game.

If you're having a tough time on a level, Bullet Heaven has a few cheats you can use, but using them will make you get lower ranks on levels.

Trivia[]

  • While most of the characters in this game return from the first three EBF games, some of them (most notably Anna and Godcat) were put into Bullet Heaven as previews for new characters appearing in Epic Battle Fantasy 4, which had yet to be released when Bullet Heaven came out. Meanwhile, a select few enemies have never appeared in any other EBF games and are exclusive to this one.
