Game summary

Burstfire is a tactical, competitive, first-person shooter that is a fusion of old-school tactical combat with modern design sensibilities that allow for a slower combat pace while maintaining a high level of excitement and fun! Play as the attacking "SWAT" team to breach through enemy "MERC" defenses using tools such as the "Breaching Charge" or the "Hacking Device" to carefully, and precisely capture your objective, the enemy "INTEL COM". Play as the defending "MERC" team, setting up defensible positions around the "INTEL COM", your primary defense objective, using tools such as the Wooden Barricades and Wall Reinforcements.

Play Burstfire on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Burstfire on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Burstfire installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Burstfire like you would on any PC.
