Awe Interactive has announced it will be celebrating its 2nd year anniversary of the rhythm-action FPS rogue-like BPM: Bullets Per Minute with a Nintendo Switch release.
Fans of Nintendo's hybrid system can get ready to "rock 'n' rogue' on 8th September for £19.99/€21.99/$24.99. Playtonic Friends are publishing the game, and pre-orders are now live - with a 10% discount offer up until launch.
In BPM, you'll fight as a mighty Valkyrie to repel the forces of the underworld from invading the world of Asgard. Actions in the game, including the enemies, are all tied to the beat of the music. With the title also drawing inspiration from retro shooters from the '90s.
Players will work their way through randomly generated dungeons, collect different weapons, abilities and items, and will be required to defeat seven bosses and eventually the final boss. Playtonic, as you might already know, is the same developer behind Yooka-Laylee, with the publishing side of the business also handling games like Blossom Tales 2 and Demon Turf.

Ooh I hope this happens. I’d like to try this game !
Interested, but physical release or hard pass.
Physical with soundtrack Limited Edition please
Did the graphics in this game always look like this? I didn't realize it was all so lo-fi
Looks like a nice time killer. Definitely looking forward to it.
I actually enjoyed other games infused with rhythm mechanics like necrodancer +rougelike gameplay, hopefully this one also, really looking forward for this announcement, thanks!
@BadTango It…is happening?
What’s with the awful looking lo-fi filter? Can you turn that off?
Right up my street, I'll give it a go
@Itachi2099
No, the filter is not togglable, however You can change the saturation intensity, at least the PC version had it so I believe the Switch version will follow suit.
@XE77 I hope there is, because judging from the screenshots and trailer the game is already pretty low resolution wise with some aggressive AA, having this filter on top of it just makes it look like mush
@larryisaman in my excitement I misread as possibly. But thank for your kindest reminder
The more FPS's on Switch, the better. I was wondering if this would get a Switch release or not.
Gonna pick this up for Steam Deck
Lost me at roguelike
Maybe on a very deep sale.
