Blue Revolver

Blue Revolver is a shooter about Mae, a rabbit-eared genius programmer who can manipulate reality with keystrokes or destroy large areas of it with custom-built Devices. After provoking a severe response from the environmental group Blue Revolver, she leads a counter-attack across five stages, fighting hordes of enemies and fearsome bosses.

Characters and weapons

You can play as three characters and choose from 12 special weapons. Weapons offer different ways to block bullets, clear crowds, damage bosses or earn points. In XP-Mode, scoring raises your level and lets you unlock and master a set of unusual superweapons.

Stages and challenges

The five stages include snowy mountains, hectic dockyards and nightmare bases. An adaptive difficulty system adjusts the challenge to your skill level, while Parallel mode presents the most the game can throw at you, including a surprise at the end.

Missions mode adds 25 single-stage challenges to help you build your skills before attempting a full clear. These include survival and scoring challenges, as well as experimental weapons, giant bullets and remixed bosses.

Scoring and extras

Build short chains and finish them with a special weapon to earn big points. You can also score BREAK bonuses by attacking bosses and large enemies in difficult ways. Online leaderboards and replays let you compare runs, while playing unlocks gallery art, remix tracks and other extras.

The game features an original soundtrack by Qygen and Novaturtle, usable remix tracks by Exemia, Hyphen, MadDrift, Terranaut, Mitomoro, Blue Phoenix, ikaruga_nex and Aghast, and a DOUBLE ACTION soundtrack by Exemia and Hagane. Screen scaling options include portrait mode; you can also rebind controls, use kiosk mode for parties or events, and adjust bullet colours, item transparency, background brightness and saturation. A 120Hz mode is available.
