Silver Bullet

Flynn’s Arcade, along with 1CC Games, have announced that Silver Bullet is making its way to Nintendo Switch. It’s on track for a Halloween debut.

Silver Bullet is a gothic shooter. Players will blast their way through spooky stages and macabre mini games as Van Helsing as they look to rescue pet puppies dognapped by Reggie the Vampire.

Learn more about what to expect in the following overview:

Reggie the Vampire is dognapping puppies and must be stopped! As Van Helsing, embark on a journey around the world to rescue the pups: from haunted mansions and museums to ghoulish graveyards, each stage is packed with unique challenges to overcome and secrets to discover.

Key Features

  • Man’s Best Friend: Van Helsing’s faithful hound Silver can be summoned during stages to attack enemies – and even drive vehicles?! Any baddies hit with Silver will drop delicious bonus items that boost your score, so make the most of your canine pal’s help.
  • Unlock & Upgrade: Grab gold coins hidden in stages to buy power-ups that will aid you in your quest. Collect enough coins to unlock the extra puzzle game mode Terror Blocks! Bonus items collected, challenges completed and secret items uncovered all count towards your progress to unlock extra weapons, from a zombie shredding shotgun to the devastating rocket launcher!
  • Top Dog: Arcade Mode and Terror Blocks both have online leaderboards, allowing you to track your progress and compete for the best score. And for those who’d rather show off their skills live, the game’s low memory footprint keeps streams silky smooth.
  • Control & Conquer: With game design based on “Cabal Shooters” like Wild Guns Reloaded, Silver Bullet has extensive control options and customisation. Play with modern twin stick aiming or classic single stick using a gamepad, go retro with an arcade stick or focus on precision with a keyboard and mouse.
  • Old-school Cool: With personality filled pixel art, customisable retro screen filters and spooky synth-pop bops from the legendary YM2612 chip, Silver Bullet looks and sounds like a long-lost 16-bit classic.
