Bulletstorm is an FPS developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games.

The game is set in the 26th century, where the universe is run by the Confederation. The player controls the commander of a black ops unit Grayson Hunt who went rogue after realizing that the unit was tricked into killing civilians by its' superior, General Sarrano. 10 years pass when Grayson and his team come across Sarrano's cruiser, attempt to destroy it and crash land on a surface of a planet called Stygia which used to be a tropical-like resort.

The game focuses heavily on combat and features a scoring system named Skillshot. Players gain points for every kill, the more creative the murder is - the more points one gets. Environmental kills are valued the most. Points are used as currency that can be used to upgrade your weapons, buy new ones or get ammunition.

Players can carry three weapons with the assault rifle being the default one and can always be found in one's inventory.

There is no competitive multiplayer in Bulletstorm, but co-op and score attack modes are available.

On release, the developers made fun of other games in the marketing campaign. The dark humor was one of the defining aspects of Bulletstorm.

Bulletstorm is a 2011 first-person shooter game developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games and published by Electronic Arts (EA). The video game is distinguished by its system of rewarding players with "skillpoints" for performing increasingly creative kills. Bulletstorm does not have any competitive multiplayer modes, preferring instead to include cooperative online play and score attack modes. Set in the 26th century, the game's story follows Grayson Hunt, a space pirate and former black ops soldier who gets shot down on a war-torn planet while trying to exact revenge on General Sarrano, his former commander who tricked him and his men into committing war crimes and assassinating innocents.
