Bullet Harvest

Bullet Harvest is a 1998 first-person shooter video game developed and published by Shadow Games exclusively for the PlayStation. It is the first game in the Bullet Harvest series. The game revolves around the concept of completing various missions to earn special rewards.

Gameplay
Bullet Harvest is a first-person shooter that involves killing enemies using a variety of weapons and tactics in different predefined locations. Health and armor can be seen in the bottom left corner of the screen, which can be replenished by collecting health and armor packs.

Story mode
The main story mode is divided into several different levels, which contain a series of objectives to fulfill. Each level has secondary objectives, which aren’t required to complete them unless if on a higher difficulty. There are also checkpoints that the player can restart from if they die or fail to complete an objective. For each level, the player must choose a difficulty level, which can change the strength of the enemies as well as increase the time length by adding additional objectives. For instance, on the easier difficulty, there are optional secondary objectives, whereas on the hardest difficulty, these objectives must be fulfilled in order to progress throughout the game. After a mission is completed, the player receives a medal based on their performance

The game’s story mode can be played alone or cooperatively with other players. When playing co-op, in order to balance things out, the player’s health is reduced significantly.

Multiplayer
The game’s multiplayer contains a total of four different game modes, including Deathmatch, Juggernaut, Survival, and Team Deathmatch. Each mode can normally be played with only two players using the PlayStation’s controller ports. However, with two multiplayer adapters connected to the console, up to 8 players can participate.

Plot
Bullet Harvest takes place on Earth in midst of a zombie apocalypse.

Development
Bullet Harvest was developed and published by Shadow Games. It was released in June 1998 for the Sony PlayStation.

Reception
Prior to its release, Bullet Harvest received positive reviews from critics. IGN stated that it “was a relatively good first-person shooter despite the PlayStation’s hardware limitations,” praising the game’s visuals and gameplay. On the other hand, Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot opined that “the multiplayer can be fun at times unless if you don’t have anyone to play the game with.” As of December 31, 1998, the game sold over a million copies worldwide, making it a commercial success.
