We're gearing up together with SmokeStab and Assemble Entertainment to bring you Orbital Bullet, the 360° action-platformer with rogue-lite elements, coming physically to Nintendo Switchfor the very first time.

A multi-award nominee with an art style mixing 3D models and sprites, this is a roguelite where all actions take place in a circular pattern. Fight your way through a variety of procedural planets and use body modifications, crafting, upgrades, and heavy weaponry. Dying's imminent but part of the fun. Diverse weaponry and game-changing upgrades guarantee addictive gameplay.

A total of 3,000 copies will ever be printed which will go on sale on August 3rd at 6pm BST (10am PDT/1pm EDT) - available worldwide exclusively at superraregames.com.
 
 
As indie's best friend, Super Rare Games works closely with the developers to ensure that every element of each release is an homage to the game printed on the cartridge. The Orbital Bullet physical release comes with the game on a physical cartridge, a full-colour manual, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards. Fans also won't be waiting for long as Super Rare Games titles ship shortly after release.

ABOUT ORBITAL BULLET
 
TRIGGERFINGER LICKIN’ GOOD ROGUE-LITE ACTION
360° hard-boiled gunplay: Projectiles traverse in a 360°-degree pattern allowing for a new unrivaled gunplay feeling.
“Just one-more-run”: Procedurally generated planets, mean enemies, bad-ass bosses, diverse weaponry and game-changing upgrades guarantee addictive gameplay.
Fast-paced unrelenting pixel style-action: each death is permanent, but let’s be honest, dying is part of the fun.


A DEATH-DEFYING PROGRESSION SYSTEM
Having a hard time making progress? Don’t worry, we got you covered! After each death, you will be able to spend Nanobytes to receive permanent upgrades and skills.
How about a bigger Medi-Backpack or extra Shield to last a little bit longer?
Or activate the Combo System, to tremendously increase the pacing of the game and receive certain multipliers to currency drops and EXP.
Don’t like your starting weapon? Unlock a new more powerful one right from the start and get your revenge.


UNLIMITED FRAG-TASTIC REPLAYABILITY
Build your own custom skill tree with our Dynamic Skill Trees! Make clever decisions to empower skills and reach new power spikes while the tree changes every time you play.
Unlock, find, or buy more than 42 different guns, weapon upgrades, and various power-enhancing perks that will change the way you’ll play.
Unlock four different classes to choose from, like the turret-carrying Engineer or the fire-fueled Hellion, each with a different skill tree.
Are you the type of person who enjoys some good ol’ pain? Good, because we got a Streak System that will make the game considerably more difficult (coupled with a few other surprises) with each completed run, until your streak ends.
