BPM: Bullets Per Minute
What if Doom were also a rhythm game? Well, BPM: Bullets Per Minute is probably what you would get. The musical first-person shooter sends you into hell to fight off hordes of enemies with your big guns while blasting some sick rock tunes.
Shooting has to be done on the beat in BPM, and successfully matching the rhythm boosts your score multiplier. As an incentive to stay focused, if you miss the beat your gun will misfire. This turns the game into a frantic twitch shooter that requires good aim, precise movement, and awareness of whatever song is currently being played. The game is also a roguelike, so you’ll be running through procedurally generated levels to take down enemies. If that sounds a bit like the previous entry on this list, that’s because Crypt of the NecroDancer was one of BPM’s inspirations! Like that title, BPM excels at combining its two seemingly disparate elements to form one endlessly satisfying adventure.
