Press release:
Wiesbaden, Germany – 10th November 2022.
Gear up and prepare for battle, it’s time to take the sensationally-cyclic vibrant rogue-lite shooter “Orbital Bullet” on the go!

Today, heralded indie publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer SmokeStab announce the global release of the critically acclaimed 360° action-platformer “Orbital Bullet” on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop.

Featuring fluid, fast-paced gameplay and procedurally generated enemies and level elements, Orbital Bullet players can now bring out the big guns and show the Dread Corporation who’s boss anytime, anywhere with Switch handheld.

Orbital Bullet on Switch transforms the game into a full “pick-up-and-play” experience, making its high-octane gameplay and intricate skill tree mechanics a portable endeavour. Melding the tried-and-true, highly addictive rogue-lite formula with the unique twist of a 360° rotating level design, Orbital Bullet sees players battling through unforgiving alien worlds in the pursuit of freeing them from the clutches of the nefarious Dread Corporation. Keep the rhythm going and the action flowing, taking on waves of enemies who are dead-set on making sure you don’t live to see another day.

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 rogue-lite 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 vigour 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 dialled; no more interrupting the rhythm with cutscenes or hub worlds!

Orbital Bullet is available today for Nintendo Switch for £17.99 GBP / €17.99 EUR. Additionally, players can pick up the title on PC via Steam and GOG for £13.49 GBP / €16.99 EUR.
