I couldn’t take screenshots or video capture anymore as when you’re using one Joy-Con for singleplayer, the other one becomes inactive straight away. The reticle feels floaty on screen compared to the movement of the controller and suffers severely from drift.

The positives I can give is the the game looks and sounds great, there is some good variety in the levels, and assuming you are not playing a Switch Lite, you have two joycons which allows you to play two player without the need for extra accessories. The game was released in 2019, it’s 2021 at the time of this review so I hold little hope the developer will revisit this now which is a shame.

These have a red glow surrounding them and enemies that are wanted criminals are usually highlighted in a light blue hue. It’s not that the game is hectic in terms of tempo, but there can sometimes be quite a lot of characters on screen at one time. Mad Bullets is a typical title I had never heard of, and it was only through my own ventures, that I found this title and have to say that this is one of those gems that you need to look into. I’m in the old school camp and will tell you to ‘reach for the sky’ as in Mad Bullets, someone’s gonna get shot. If you’re still feeling lonely, you have 3 other friends blasting away with you thanks to game supporting four players!To start the purchasing process, it is necessary to sign in with the Nintendo Account and the Nintendo Network ID. My review was originally going to be from playing in handheld mode, but let’s be honest here, it’s a bit of a pig aiming the joy-con on such a small screen. You either duel weld two joy-cons and pretend your rogue cowboy or pass one them controllers to a friend or partner and have someone along for the ride. Forget about men with no names, folk looking for redemption or new sheriffs in town – this is all about shooting stuff quickly and efficiently as possible.

Shooting crates and barrels can unearth a few different power-ups or collectables such as the death bomb, multiplier bonus and gold coins. There has been various attempts at reviving this style of game with Wii-motes and Playstation Move controllers, but non truly captured the speed and flickering white screen accuracy of the genre pioneers.Because there are a lot of innocent bystanders amongst the crowd, you’ll find that they are all differentiated by a colour outline to indicate their threat level. We aren’t spoilt for choice with this type of game on the Switch, let alone other platforms, but regardless, this is a title definitely worth playing, and I think it takes the mantle of light gun games for me until Sega Ages attempt a H ouse of the Dead 2 port. In the case of games that use cloud streaming technology, only the free launcher application can be downloaded.

New mechanics like shooting locks, beer glasses from drunk men are introduced and keeps things interesting. However, I wanted to use the home button to check something quickly when I realised that the left Joy-Con doesn’t have that option. A red line confirming who the villains are and that you need to shoot them, blue for wanted criminals and green for the people you aren’t supposed to hit. If playing in singleplayer, you’re only ever going to have one Joy-Con activated unless you decide to dual weld.After your payment has been processed, the content will be downloaded to the applicable system linked to your Nintendo Account, or your Nintendo Network ID in the case of Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family systems. These are usually highlighted in a green glow, and you must avoid shooting them otherwise you’ll lose one of your 3 Sheriff badges which represent your health in Mad Bullets. There’s no point spending time on the controls as we’ve already covered them, so let’s look at the graphics. Upon starting your Wild West rampage, you’ll need to calibrate your Joy-Cons by shooting in the centre of the screen and the upper left-hand corner. The characters are slightly animated, but they are supposed to represent wooden boards – when you shoot them, they explode in fragments, and it’s pretty effective.

Summary Mad Bullets, the wackiest shooter is here to put your reflexes and laughing muscles to an intensive test. When you have another player, you can use another joy-con, and both of you can be differentiated on-screen through either a red or blue reticle.

Eventually, I found the best way to play the game was very subtle movements and not to point the joy-con as if it were a TV remote.
