Ballad of Bullets

Ballad of Bullets is a 2D adult RPG for players who want a grim, crime-noir setting with tactical combat. The tone is dark and grounded rather than lighthearted.

Story

Set in the crime-ridden city of Rowell in 1984, the game follows a male protagonist navigating a scandal-soaked underworld. The narrative frames a dark personal journey through corruption and violence that unfolds as the city's secrets come to light.

Gameplay

Players move through an open-world version of Rowell, taking on turn-based encounters as they explore districts and uncover the city's underbelly. The sandbox structure lets players choose their own path between story-driven confrontations, with combat resolved through turn-based mechanics rather than real-time action.
