If they had done this and made the co-operative function of the game cleaner, this would be a game I would love to play to kill time when I had my friends around and wanted to play something easy but unique. Then the humorous ideas around the idea of eating, belching, getting too fat by overconsumption, and more would all shine even more with multiplayer.

Critic reviews
- Bite the Bullet has a lot of potential to be a great game but the developers missed the mark on this one. Sadly, the controls of the game feel rather off, which broke the immersion quite a lot of times. The stages are a bit too long and this gave us the feeling that we were on an endless grind to even get through one level. Negative notes aside, visually the game is very well made and the way they let their characters gain an enormous amount of weight is hilarious.
- Bite the Bullet is a decent run-and-gun game; the eating mechanic was a fun addition to the style. While long levels may seem like a good idea, it often felt a bit overwhelming. The level goals were also a decent addition to the genre; however, the length of the levels had me struggling to complete them. Fans of run-and-gun games may want to consider Bite the Bullet. Players who are not run-and-gun enthusiasts might want to steer away from this title.
- 6.0Despite its flaws, Bite the Bullet is a fun experience that we’d recommend if you’re a fan of franchises like Metal Slug. The game looks gorgeous, and while we do take issue with the controls and gameplay, there’s just enough here to keep you entertained throughout the campaign. Just don’t blame us if you start feeling a bit hungry…
- 8.5Outside of these fixable issues Bite The Bullet is a fun action title that adds in a unique mechanic to proceedings, in eating foes to gain abilities. It’s challenging without being too punishing, has a pretty good sense of humour, and offers plenty to sink your teeth into in its upgrades, hidden areas, and side quests. Plus, that soundtrack is just awesome. Like, seriously excellent.
- 5.0Bite the Bullet will not be joining that esteemed menu. It's a frustrating, disappointing mess that never feels cohesive or satisfying to play. Mechanically, it can't hold a candle to games released twenty years ago. If it had chosen to focus on just one of its elements - eating enemies, run-and-gun shooting, or its RPG aspects - it might have succeeded, but as it stands, Bite the Bullet is far too unfocused and overstuffed to be a satisfying meal.
