Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

First of all, the entire gameplay through each of the levels is quite fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and details are simplistic but vibrant and there's not a lot of detail to levels and enemies overall but that's not a bad thing.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This really helps to take the edge off of this game's difficulty.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gunplay is pretty good, and it needs to be because you only have one gun.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
An earlier, dare I say, more barebones effort by Doseone, who was responsible for music and SFX, and would later go on, two years after Heavy Bullets, to make the great soundtrack to Enter The Gungeon.
