Shakin' my head. Too many people saying this game reminds them of DooM (or Quake. How.) when this game is obviously inspired by Blood (1997). The second character you get is a legally distinct Caleb. Maybe a little Hexen/Heretic. Maybe a little Diablo. I bought this game for $3.24. At that price, the game is a steal. It's not very deep strategically, but this entire genre isn't. It was made for people stoned out of their gourd to sit on their couch and press directional buttons while gambling. Not saying that as a negative, Sometimes I want a game like that. It has good Goldsrc/Quake 1 style bunnyhopping and every character has a unique ability that is usually related to movement to mix it up a little. The maps are good and have a nice gothic aesthetic, movement is fluid and fun, shooting is fine and gibbing creatures is satisfying. I do wish the game had some more content but what's there is Fine. If the game looks interesting to you, I recommend giving it a try.
It's fun. I'm dissapointed that it doesn't have more to do, but considering that I put thirty hours into it that's not a bad thing, I'd rather have a game leave me wanting more I guess. There's just potential for some more really good stuff here. The movement and gunplay is super satisfying and it's the best at translating frantic 90's shooter action into the whole survivor genre that I've seen so far. It just kind of runs out of stuff. But there's not a bad moment in it.
A Bloody Mess Bloodshed = Blood + Shed + 1999 Cringe + Hexen + Army of Darkness + Broken Roguelite It's pretty clear what the game is at least trying to do here, and honestly, it half succeeds! It has all the right unc vibes. The graphics, from the enemy sprites, the characters, and environments, are straight uncle-bait. If you played games like Blood or Hexen, your eyes will immediately be drawn to this game and it's attempts to looksmaxx you. To it's credit, I did think that many of the designs were pretty great, even occasionally terrifying. The audio in terms of sound effects are punchy and chunky, and the game does a fair job at keeping you situationally aware based on audio cues (the anxiety definitely starts to kick in when you hear the banshee wails coming closer). The auto-shooting is mostly competent, the environments are good enough with some actually being really neat conceptually, and there's a good-enough boss battle at the end. The playable characters are, to the very last of them, 300% cringeworthy. However, to be fair, this really does keep with the theme of the era the games and movies that were the muses for this one. But there are only TWO acts, and the game leans heavily on very expensive upgrade costs for replay value. Still, it's not wrong for games to be short, I think the idea that every game needs to be a 200 hours epic is silly, and that some games are just fine as short little "snacks". That said, and as many reviewers have pointed out, the balance is so very terrible in this game that it is actually confusing. So many other elements are competent or even good, I didn't run into any bugs, the audio and visuals are great... Did no one care about balance? I am not kidding when I tell you that 9/10 weapons in this game are straight up not worth using, and some of them are just way too similar to one another. This also holds true for the character selection. All of them are just BAD when compared to Seraphina. Why? Because her starter weapon is THE BEST WEAPON IN THE GAME and her secondary isn't occupied with a worthless melee weapon but rather one of the somewhat useful spells. This means no hoping to roll a better weapon, and no levels or slot-machine rolls wasted on upgrading a weapon you will never use. With the minor exception of the sawed-off shotgun, EVERY other starter weapon is worthless even when upgraded, or needs a specific set of upgrades to make them not feel terrible by the time you get midway through the run. The staff? As soon as you hit 3 projectiles with that thing, you will be mowing down enemies, including bosses, like child's play. Even without upgrades that make it even more comically OP. Shed some blood if you... [*]Want a decent "snack" of a game that's good to veg out to while you have a video playing. [*]Need a dose of late 90s/early 2000s nostalgia and don't want to commit to a more serious game but also don't feel like replaying Heretic or Blood for the thousandth time. [*]Just need to keep that survivors-like dopamine flowing and you come across this game on sale and are fiendin' Go watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead if you... [*]Need something you can sink some significant time into [*]Are looking for lots of unlocks and skill trees and meaningful build-making [*]Can't stand an unbalanced game because GOOD GOD I know I really torched this game in this review, but I am going to be honest. I DID like it. It's kinda like... When you are drunk or really high and you get Jack In The Box tacos at 2am. Are they good tacos? Mmm, no man. No they are not. BUT, for that short moment? They just hit. BOTTOM LINE Blood was not shed, but nor were my tears. Jack in the Box Tacos/10.
The idea of making Vampire Survivors game as a first-person shooter was absolutely brilliant. I'm amazed at how simple and addictive it is and despite the repetitive roguelike nature of the game, it keeps you coming back again and again. Tons of enemies, blood, guts, kills, explosions, crazy spells: when you upgrade the character you need, the game turns into a bulletstorm orgy. I love everything about it, from the chosen style and the "potato" old-school graphics to the voice acting and music. The only problem is that it's quite short and doesn't have multiplayer. You can get through all the content in 10 hours (and what hours!), which is definitely not enough. I WANT IT MORE SOOOOOOOO MUCH!
Bloodshed is an FPS bullet heaven game that’s equal parts DOOM and vampire survivors. While shallow in content, the gameplay is precise and fun, making it absolutely worth picking up at a deep discount. Gib enemies with a sawed off, or create a storm of magic spells, all in the service of ripping and tearing until it is done.
