Review:

Ultrashot is a First-Person Shooter released in 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. In this game, players must fight through enemies in what appears to be a zombie apocalypse.

Yeah, I say “appears to be” because this game isn’t very clear about things. The game’s eShop page describes vague “hostile zones”, “growing threats”, and “powerful adversaries”, but doesn’t detail what these are, the opening just shows one humanoid figure attacking the other as seen from your character’s house window, and the rest of the presentation, well…

Ultrashot uses 3D visuals that look absolutely terrible, with primitive-looking low-poly characters and environments and muddy textures. This is joined by generic-sounding rock-inspired music interspersed with moments of more atmospheric themes when you’re not in combat. There is absolutely nothing here that’s very noteworthy.

The gameplay is somehow even worse. Tedious, monotonous gameplay plugging away at brain-dead bullet sponge enemies with weapons that have an endless supply of ammo in boring repetitive levels is bad enough, but then this game restricts your turning to be as slow as molasses, making this game feel like it’s outright broken to play. Ironically, this is after you get a message about how spinning somehow gives you a bonus? Yeah, I’m not sure what that was supposed to mean.

Anyway, Ultrashot is an absolutely miserable, shoddy, ugly, and again outright broken First-Person Shooter. Do not buy it.

tl;dr – Ultrashot is a First-Person Shooter set in what appears to be a zombie apocalypse, but everything about this game is terrible, from the ugly visuals to the monotonous gameplay to the outright broken controls. Do not waste money on this.

Grade: F
