Mega Cat Studios and Graffiti Games announced that their new game, Bite The Bullet, will be coming to Switch on August 13. This is a bizarre twist on the run and gun genre where you have to eat your enemies to gain power and blast through the levels. Imagine Contra but with some really hungry and seemingly malnourished protagonists blasting away and eating through their enemies! Check out the trailer to get a better idea of what I am talking about.
What is Bite The Bullet?
Bite The Bullet is the world’s first Run & Gun & Eat. In this roguelite RPG shooter, you must eat enemies, bullets and more to powerup your character, weapons, and abilities. Gun down zombies, robots and giant mutant bosses with a barrage of bullets before chowing down on their corpses to craft new weapons, unlock new abilities and special attacks, and transform into a powerful Zombro form to smash foes. Explore four character classes and a skill-tree based on your diet – and remember, you are what you eat.
YOU LITERALLY ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
How you play is driven by how you choose to eat. The carnivorous Gorivore or vegan Slaughterer of the Soil that have their own unique abilities and perks, changing how you defeat enemies and navigate levels. Customize your character with every choice and every bite. Maximize your build for your playstyle, run the world again with a different diet for a new challenge, and team up with a friend in co-op to ramp up the bullets and the calories.
Key Features

This looks to be a wild twist on an old genre, and I am looking forward to sinking my teeth into Bite The Bullet when it comes out on August 13.
