Press release:
Wiesbaden, Germany – June 9, 2023.
Assemble Entertainment, independent publisher and organizer of GermanDevDays, and developer SmokeStab announced today the release of roguelite bullet hell shooter “Orbital Bullet“, a title that begs for “one more round” again and again.

Available today PlayStation 4 — with the launch on Xbox One soon to follow — Orbital Bullet sees players battling through unforgiving alien worlds, utilizing fluid gameplay and procedurally generated enemies and level elements all while navigating a unique 360° circular map that literally spins the genre in a new direction. It’s trigger finger-lickin’ good!

“We’re thrilled to bring Orbital Bullet to PlayStation after endless requests from our devoted community, and being able to add Xbox to the mix later on is even more exciting,” said Assemble Entertainment CEO Stefan Marcinek.

“The game’s been patched and optimized with so much love and dedication from the development team, and we’re delighted for new players to get in on the action!”

Orbital Bullet launched on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch in 2022 to critical acclaim and immense community praise. Its high-octane gameplay and intricate skill trees meld the tried-and-true, highly addictive roguelite formula with the unique twist of a 360° rotating level design.

Battle through unforgiving cyclic alien worlds in the pursuit of freeing them from the clutches of the nefarious Dread Corporation, the mysterious tyrannical organization that has sunk its clutches deep into the neon-soaked world, or die (many times) trying. Craft, modify, optimize, and build your way to the perfect death-defying loadout where not even the most hellish enemies would dare cross your path.

Key Features of Orbital Bullet:

Nothing ‘Rosie’ About This Ring: A unique 2.5D ring-shaped world offers a one-of-a-kind setting fresh for the genre with a rotating 360° level design. Make the most satisfying long-range curved snipes you’ve ever made, or blast and shred enemies with a load from the Hyper Shotgun.

Bullets and Body Mods: No roguelite is complete without all sorts of nifty upgrades, mods, skill trees, and heavy weapons to keep your sci-fi fustigator strapped and ready for action; enhance your character’s vigor by unlocking permanent upgrades such as the Combo System, the Medi-Backpack, or a stronger starting weapon.
Stay Classy: Four meticulously crafted classes can be unlocked by solving challenging puzzles and include epic abilities per class, such as the turret-wielding Engineer or the fire-fueled Hellion.
Intense Arcade Action: A game that defines “one more run”, Orbital Bullet throws you into the fray with fierce, frenetic action. Jump, dodge, and shoot your way through hordes of enemies as you wind your way around several beautiful and unique biomes.
No Time to Relax: Instant level transitions upon completion of a stage keep the mayhem flowing and your trigger finger dialed; no more interrupting the rhythm with cutscenes or hub worlds!

Orbital Bullet is now available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for £15.99/€19.99. Additionally, players can pick up the title on PC via Steam and GOG, and Nintendo Switch for £13.49/€16.99.
