Action-packed indie games featured in Steam Bullet Fest

Steam Bullet Fest, the platform’s latest themed event, runs through 10 a.m. PT on June 15 and features tons of bullet-based titles from developers and publishers around the globe. “You can never have enough bullets when it comes to the games in THIS fest,” teases the Steam event‘s blurb. Bullet heaven, top-down shooter, roguelite — whether you’re after gritty first-person cinematics or pixel-art adventures, Steam’s themed Bullet Fest catalog doesn’t skimp on the action. Budget-conscious gamers can breathe a sigh of relief, too; tons of free demos are available alongside countless indie games’ already-sensible prices.

Time to work on those evasion skills, friend. Check out my top picks from Steam’s ongoing, action-packed Bullet Fest:

ROLLA

ROLLA, the upcoming “B-movie inspired horror arcade destruction game about survival,” sends a massive meat ball (no, not the good kind) through an unsuspecting town like a katamari, leaving nothing but a trail of detritus behind it.

Rightfully, Beary Arms

I played Rightfully, Beary Arms for the first time at PAX East 2026, and I mean it when I say I thought about it for the rest of the day. Released earlier this year, Rightfully, Beary Arms is a blast (pun intended) that sends beary brave players through a punishing, bullet-packed dreamscape. Warp your weapons, master mechanics, and make it as far as you paw-sibly can. Rightfully, Beary Arms can be yours for $3.49, which is, frankly, a steal.

Enter the Chronosphere

Enter the Chronosphere, which arrived on Steam in Early Access late last month, is a frenzied “roguelike shooter that combines turn-based tactics and real time action.” Take your player character and the rest of the Starseer crew through one heckuva celestial gauntlet to “combat a galactic threat: giant spheres that are consuming reality itself.” Enter the Chronosphere is available for $14.99 on Steam!
