Board Game Hits Podcast

In this episode, I review Bullet★ by Level 99 Games—a tactical, anime-infused bullet hell board game that turns chaos into a puzzle. I’ll break down how this deceptively elegant system transforms random bullet draws into moments of high-stakes pattern recognition and push-your-luck tension. We’ll dive into the thrill of solo boss battles, the clever abstraction of arcade mechanics, and the personalities of the game’s heroines. From Score Attack survival runs to shield breaking Boss Battles, we’ll explore why Bullet★ hits that sweet spot between logic, luck, and projectile-dodging flair. It’s not about speed—it’s about strategy. And trust me, this one packs a punch.
