Blood is everything "Quake" should have been. It offers unparalleled single player gameplay, dozens of beautiful visual effects, tons of new weapons, and killer multiplay. I've had more fun playing Blood in the past day than I have playing any other game in the past year.
Blood's flaws are easily swept aside when your guns start blasting and the bodies start falling. If you crave a good, violent corridor shooter, this is a great addition to your PC library. It's bloody fun--right down to the last drop.
Um dos maiores clássicos dos fps,sangrento,divertdo,desafiador,divertido.O clássico jogo para PC do incrível ano de 1997 trás uma ambientação magnífica,que o faz parecer um filme de terror dos anos 90,bastante sangue,inimigos variados e muitas armas criativas e divertidas de se usar.Muitas fases marcantes,e muito bem ambientadas,repletas de mistérios e muita ação,e é claro,muito SANGUE,que a propósito,tem de sobra neste jogo,tudo aqui sangra,e isso é lindo aqui.
Caleb,o protagonista,é muito carismático,tendo muitas frases de efeito,que o deixam muito vivo,(mesmo já estando morto XD),o jogo também possui muitas referências a filmes de terror antigos,como "O iluminado" e " Evil Dead",que deixam esse clássico muito macabro.
Se me perguntarem se Blood é bom,eu diria que é bastante,mas se for jogar,é melhor usar um guarda chuva,pois vai chover sangue.
The first time I played Blood was when it was released back in 1997. It was one of the first video games that gave me the creeps and being a horror fan kid, I loved every minute of the first iconic mission, yet I did not progress much further due to my inexperience in shooters. Blood is a member of the holy trinity of Build engine games along with Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior (I personally would add Redneck Rampage to that list). Due to its scary nature, it was a bit less popular than Duke Nukem 3D, yet the game always had a cult following, despite the harm its sequel Blood II: The Chosen may have caused.
24 years have passed. I have beaten countless shooters from retro classics (Doom, Duke Nukem 3D) to classics in transition period (No One Lives Forever, Half-Life), to modern ones. I usually love Nightdive Studio’s work with remasters and I simply could not resist to replay the game as “Blood: Fresh Supply”.
Oh boy… It holds up so well. It plays like Duke Nukem 3D, where you find some keys, kill enemies and finally press a button to finish the mission. It separates itself from FPSs from the same era with its level design, soundtrack and unique weapons. You will not find annoying maze-like levels where you get lost. You will have extremely memorable weapons in your arsenal from flare gun and dynamite to voodoo doll. Any kind of incendiary damage will be your most effective tool here as you watch even the strongest enemies burn, screaming in agony. Enemies have good variety and none of them fell out of place, cultists being my favorite. Most importantly though, this game has sick soundtrack, which I had totally erased from my memory. It is the sort of music that you would find on a cassette tape that belongs to a satanic cult leader.
I could not play anything else until I finished the game and all expansions including Cryptic Passage and Plasma Pak. It was a blast. I did not experience and compatibility issues thanks to the remaster and I certainly recommend picking it up. It’s definitely one of the best fps games ever made and one that you should not miss if you are into retro FPS classics.
9.5/10
By far the most extraordinary feature of Blood has to be its sound effects. They are nothing short of incredible. 'Manamax and spear books,' the cultists shriek, alongside something not dissimilar to the word 'bollocks'. The zombies endlessly crow about 'Brainssssss'. Set a fanatic on fire and he screams like a girl: 'It burns! Oh god it burns,' before melting into a heap of steaming entrails accompanied by the appropriate popping and sizzling effects.
It's derivative, it's violent, and definitely tasteless at times - but it's almost always fun...If you like 3D shooters, give Blood a try. You might find that being totally evil - at least in a game - can feel pretty "damn" good.
If Monolith could have tied the level design and action more closely to a real storyline, worked to smooth the engine a little, and created a few new types of monsters, Blood might have risen another notch or two up the 3D food chain. As it stands, the game is a little too uneven to be successful.
The whole thing is so over the top that it ends up being like a B-movie gore-fest – more silly than scary. Still, plenty of folk are going to be offended. Once past the blood-hook, though, the game is a mixed bag.
I think what's genuinely incredibly about Blood is how **** up it kinda is? Like this is absolutely the most violent video game I have played. It actually makes me uncomfortable. Caleb is a sinister protagonist and all the enemies in this game are just so twisted and cooked. I love this. I think it's actually a masterpiece that really needs a (proper) sequel and deserves more attention than it gets. It's also quite a challenging game, actually quite punishing. Keeps you on your feet.
I highly recommend playing Blood!
The best of the holy trinity, hallowed be it´s name! Everything about this game is a masterpiece, the atmosphere, the art direction, the action, the gunplay, absolutely everything! This game is also hard as nails but it´s so fun when you get the hang of it, if you for some reason never played Blood, PLAY IT
одна из лучших игр моего детства по своему геймплею, атмосфере и музыке. Больше всего радует идеальный баланс оружия и эффективность определенного типа предметов арсенала Калеба против определенных врагов. Реально все оружия в этой игре нужны, а не 2-3 орудия как в большинстве шутеров тех лет.
SummaryYou'll battle cultists, gargoyles, zombies, hellhounds, and an unholy host of other terrors in your quest to stop Tchernobog. You must not only defeat the Cabal--you must scour its dread name from human memory. If that means eradicating everyone and everything the Cabal has ever tainted, so be it. Of course, you'll first have to make you...
