    The gameplay of "Bullet Soul: Infinite Burst" features a unique bullet-canceling mechanic that rewards aggressive play, allowing players to clear enemy bullets upon their death. While some players appreciate the scoring potential and fast-paced action, others find the reliance on this mechanic makes the experience feel dull and repetitive. The expanded release introduces new modes and mechanics that enhance the original formula, but opinions remain divided on the overall enjoyment of the gameplay.

    • “After playing this version, and also putting in a few hours with the Xbox 360 release, both the gameplay and catchy soundtrack actually got me coming back for more and really enjoying my time with the game.”
    • “Bullet Soul: Infinite Burst is an expanded release of the original game, featuring an altered original mode along with a new mode with completely different mechanics.”
    • “It has a caravan-style scoring system with enemy waves to quick-kill, it has the Dangun Feveron item collection mechanic with falling/bouncing coins to pick up without a miss penalty as massive as in Dangun, it has a fast-paced guitar-based soundtrack that fits the action, it has tons of score bonuses all over the place waiting to be obtained with pleasant jingles every time you get one.”
    • “The gameplay isn't my personal favorite because I think it leans too much into its bullet cancelling mechanic, but it can feel like a legitimate scoring game when you really grind away at it.”
    • “It's a shame because this game has pretty high production values which are just wasted on its crude and heavy-handed core mechanics.”
    • “I think it plays a role, and the bullet cancelling mechanic itself is also a major culprit in this case.”
  • music
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the catchy and fast-paced guitar-based soundtrack that complements the gameplay, while others find it bland and forgettable after repeated listening. The inclusion of an "arranged" soundtrack option offers a different experience, but it doesn't significantly enhance the overall quality. Overall, while the soundtrack is appreciated by some, it may not leave a lasting impression on all players.

    • “After playing this version, and also putting in a few hours with the Xbox 360 release, both the gameplay and catchy soundtrack actually got me coming back for more and really enjoying my time with the game.”
    • “Great rocking music and 4 characters in the beginning to choose from for multiple runs.”
    • “Fantastic art style, graphics, and soundtrack.”
    • “If you already have the original, however, I see very little reason to get this version (unless you happen to be some sort of great fan of this particular game and/or its bland music).”
    • “Perhaps the only other highly recognizable difference between Infinite Burst and the original Bullet Soul is this version has an 'arranged' soundtrack option for its generally bland, busy, frenetic, and forgettable heroic music.”
    • “The alternate version of the music doesn’t really make it better though, just different.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics are praised for their quality and art style, with some users noting a slight improvement in resolution and easier-to-navigate menus. However, there are mentions of the visuals being overly busy at times. The soundtrack also receives positive feedback, complementing the visual experience.

    • “Graphics are nice and the soundtrack is awesome.”
    • “Fantastic art style, graphics, and soundtrack.”
    • “Quality controls and visuals, a touch more forgiving than similar type offerings from Cave.”
    • “The visuals are too busy.”
    • “I think this version has slightly easier to understand menus and perhaps slightly better graphics, possibly running at a slightly higher resolution, but I'm not sure.”
    • “Quality controls and visuals are a touch more forgiving than similar offerings from Cave.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is largely considered lacking, with some players finding it minimal or nonexistent, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “But the story is nonexistent anyway.”
  • replayability

    Players appreciate the game's multiple modes, which significantly enhance its replayability, offering diverse experiences that encourage repeated playthroughs.

    • “The game offers various modes that provide a lot of replay value.”
