Hey, we know this game! Thanks for having such a blast with it. Just a quick reminder that we uploaded a bunch of 3 minute timers on RUclips that uses the heroines's musical themes! We think that the OST really adds to the feel.
I love Bullet Heart/Star and I was so happy to see you reviewing this! Just to add to your final comments towards the end - if you don't like feeling time pressured or the "take-that" mechanics of tossing bullets at each other, the boss mode allows you to work as a team against any one of the unused characters. This mode doesn't require a timer either, and there are some interesting mechanics to help you work as a team (e.g. passing bullets to each other to help complete patterns and clear bullets). You can also play as teams (2v2), which has the same team mechanics in boss mode but also the "take-that" aspects of the free-for-all, and doesn't have a timer! I love that this game has several different modes of playing all in one package, and what really sold me on it was that it's even great to play solo! (solo only works for certain game modes ofc but it's still a blast!) Also, I highly recommend getting coin capsules for the tokens/bullets (if not the deluxe tokens L99 Games also sells). It makes handling the bullets sooooo much more satisfying (and also protects the relatively flimsy cardboard punch-outs)
@@cheese1678989 Ha! Thank you. Having done Madoka Magica and the Utena film in the same way, it's just a ton of work. Probably won't ever do something like those ever again.
2:41 you unfortunately cannot move bullets up, you can only move them left, right, or down. Moving bullets up I think is unique to a handful of characters from Heart(Adelheid, Mariel, etc.) Still a wonderful game! I own Heart and am looking for a Star copy to own :D EDIT: Also at 4:05, she takes a bullet from her Current(individual black bag) as opposed to the example, where he took a bullet from Planil's Sight(individual board)
Minor corrections, but yeah, can confirm these are accurate. To clarify, the movement rules are just whatever that action says, at the top-left of your character-specific action board (which is shown on the right). Plainil's only lets her move left, right, or down, which is the most common movement ability, but there's a bunch of variations across all of the characters.
i was so confused when he said "for example you can move this up" when he had just read what it does and the arrows on the ability symbol were still on screen 😅 like, I had been wondering five seconds before that why you'd ever want to move a bullet down (ig to make the needed pattern?) and he went "you could move this up" and i instinctually went "no u can't" lmao
How can anyone say this game has no interaction? Literally you can obliterate someone by sending them tokens that hurt them the most. Last man standing is so so fun
Hey @Prozd, if I bought and sent you a board game I loved in my childhood(honestly, even now. Me and some friends play drinking games with it), would you do a board game review for it? It would be Dino Hunt, in case you might already have it.
Seems interesting but the tokens not being double sided bothers me. Is the reason for that to make the real time part harder or was the company just being cheap? That's just begging for an upgrade with double sided tokens.
When you clear bullets to an opponent, they are not supposed to be able to know what bullets you sent them. So they are placed into opponents' incoming zones facedown on the blank side. Additionally, there are some characters in Bullet heart, either as playable versions or the boss versions, that use the blank side of bullets as "wild" colors or numbers for their patterns. So, it's an intentional design choice
That's by design. Bullets are passed face-down, so the opponent can't (easily) see what you sent them and prepare for it. Also, there are heroines who flip bullets face-down, e.g. Adelheid from ❤️, who treats face-down bullets as any color.
I own this and Bullet Heart, and there are deluxe tokens which you can buy from the company which are wooden and thick and really nice. They are still not double sided however because you are drawing the tokens from the bag blind, and are supposed to remain blind about what they are (also some other situations call for them to be blank). The bag handles the majority of not seeing what you are drawing or adding to the bag until you've drawn it from the bag but the blank side helps with that too.

One of my favorite publishers! Here's hoping prozd reviews battlecon sometime in the future. I look forward for my first bullet playthrough soon.
Literally came to the comments to mention the same thing. The soundtrack for this game slaps.
this would be a great rhythm game imo.
Best board game OSTs of all time!

I love this game, I feel it's the closest thing you can get to a Tetris boardgame
well there are multiple tetris board games
but they're not exactly good lol
Love bullet 💜 and star! I have the wooden special edition pieces.
Seriously my favorite game to play PvP or PvE
Surprised to see you here, your Disappearance of Haruhi series is one of my favourite series of analysis videos ever
@@cheese1678989 Ha! Thank you. Having done Madoka Magica and the Utena film in the same way, it's just a ton of work. Probably won't ever do something like those ever again.
Madoka Magica, you say? 👀
I'll have to check those out 😊

This game is extremely fun, especially with how unique all the Heroines are. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.
Dude Bullet
I have heart and star and they're both great! I'd recommend heart over star to start though
Played this one at a con last year, so fun
I love bullet star!
just found out this mans did the voice for ratatoskr and I love him even more
Been loving these board game videos YESSIR
i dont know anything about board games but sungwon is tempting me to get a new obsession
It's definitely worth it, also if you don't have the wooden tokens, plastic coin capsules make it so much better
Give it a try. The world of modern board games is amazing. So many incredible and social experiences to be had.
Bullet is my favorite game! A great pick up!
I've enjoyed Bullet since the first Kickstarter; glad that L99 sent some love your way, even more glad that you enjoy it too!
this is like Tetris mixed with Bust-A-Move.
Bullet is so cool. Nice to see these games get traction
The chef girl is Filipino! Just had to laugh when I saw her dishes.
I absolutely love this game. I suggest to play it at every opportunity.
Thank you ProZD!
I actually just played this game 3 days ago at a friend's house! That's an eerie coincidence!
Love this game. I have played over 300 times and it is still my #1 game!
LXV1 -> 66
The L is a 50

Would care to do a board game review of Deep Rock Galactic at some point?
this game seems pretty fun
I really wanted to play this with my friends but every single one of them hated it
Review wingspan
I think that's 66. L is 50, and XVI would be 16, so I think that's 66.
hey, look, a Touhou boardgame
board game reviews
Hello, Sung won do u speaking Korean ?
LXVI is 66, the L means 50

당신 한국인이지

There actually are upgraded tokens, but they're just thicker and wooden instead of punchboard.
Oof, I was too slow
