Vengeance in a nutShell.



<span class="bold">Bombshell</span>, a top-down, explosive action-RPG about extracting some sweet intergalactic revenge, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com with GOG Galaxy achievements and a 10% launch discount.


The "Washington Incident" has certainly left a bad taste in Colonel Shelly Harrison's smart mouth. Quite understandably so, since it was there that she lost her right arm and the rest of her bomb squad. Now working as a mercenary and sporting a handy mechanical arm made from mostly unknown materials, Bombshell is eager to start kicking serious alien butt across four different planets.

Slip into the shell of foul-mouthed Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison and blast away the legions of ugly aliens that seek to destroy our humble planet. The past-paced, frantic gunplay and the imposing bosses in 3D Realms' latest offering will leave you no time for chewing bubblegum but what you will have in abundance are opportunities for crude comebacks. Use them wisely, wise-guy.


Punch and blast some manners into the alien terrorists as foul-tempered <span class="bold">Bombshell</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. If you want to do it with even more gusto, be sure to grab the soundtrack and artbook included in the <span class="bold">Bombshell Deluxe Edition</span>. But if you are not ready to commit yet, you can always get the <span class="bold">Bombshell Deluxe Edition Upgrade</span> later. The 10% launch discount will last until February 08, 5:59 PM GMT.

dexterward: Metacritic: 28 official score, 2.0 user score

Buyer beware.
Yes, I would definitely stay away looking at disastrous gamewatcher review. 4.5/10 that is really bad.

Or gamespot review giving it a 2.0/10.

So this game has nothing to do with Duke Nukem?
Whoo Gamespot also a 2/10.
I just noticed it's a 3D Realms game. Is it the same one that caused a bit of a feminism row a couple of years ago?
I had completely forgotten about it.
Idea sounds interesting, reviews and feedback is concerning. I will catch it on the twitch stream and see how it plays for myself.

£5.40 more in the UK, even with the discount? That's really unjustifiably high amounts of regional pricing going on there.

Then again it looks like the game has been released pretty much unfinished anyway. Perhaps this should have been an 'in development' release, GOG?
Yeah. I don’t want to blow things out of proportion, but the reviews thus far are so poor that it would be wise to wait for more from your local Youtuber/Twitch streamer or such if you're still interested. Shame too, it looked like such a blast.

Not anymore, at least.
I suppose a release on the 20th anniversary of Duke Nukem 3D release is not a coincidence, too bad it can't be celebrated with some sale...

Day 1 release, achievements, looks amazing... and I'm poor.
Great release!

catpower1980: It looks interesting as a top-down shooter but the in-game screenshots ar maybe too "heavy" in terms of visuals: I have to zoom in just to see where the heroin is :(
What about the cocaine?

(Bad pun. For non-native speakers, heroin is a drug, heroine is the feminine form of hero. It still irritates me when people call Wonder Woman a "hero".)

*didn't.

I certainly have no qualms with others buying, but I will probably have to wait for a sale or more reviews. :)

Haha, was about to comment on that typo myself. Didn't know it was a HOG featuring drugs. =P
