Perfect remaster

I've tried to beat Blood a few times already while having problems such as compatibility and dated controls, but this remaster fixes them all, so I've finally finished it. :) It's definitely THE way to play the game if someone didn't play it beforehand, and even then it's a really good "port". Runs on modern systems, supports Vulkan, no FPS limit, actual 3D renderer... and most importantly, the mouselook doesn't suck! The game itself, while very difficult at times is AWESOME and insanely fun. The levels aren't too long, the enemies and weapons are varied, so the game doesn't get boring very quickly. Levels can be creepy at times, but the tension is broken by Caleb's one-liners and maniacal laugh, which makes you feel like a real psycho. >:D The only problems with the remaster that I've noticed are odd behaviors of the beast and mother spiders. I wish I could check if they're just faithful to the original, but (another issue) while the remaster includes all data files of the original game, it does not come with the original DOS executable. A shame, though excusable.

It's OK

Don't get me wrong this remaster is fine aspecially at 4 euro, but with BloodGDX and nBlood out there I'm not sure if it's worth even that. The thing is this remaster is couple of years too late, had it come out when the only way to play Blood was through DosBox I would've throughn any amount of money at the devs and never complained. But when there are other options out there and those other ports aren't in any way worse and in some ways even more polished (at least GDX is), I'm not sure if there's even any point for this remaster to exist. If Nightdive patch out all the problems with this I might change my review, but as it is right now you could just as well throw a few bucks at the guy developing the GDX port, at least he's doing it for the love of the game.

Works with Amiga 68060 AGA or RTG

A very good game! This version works perfectly on Amiga computers with Blood Amiga port (you can find it on Aminet). I would highly recommend! i live again! Only Amiga makes it possible! ;)

What a classic....

I never got the opportunity to play this game, as I was just a kid, around 7 years old, and the only thing I had was an old nintendo. When I got older I finally built my gaming pc, and mostly to try out old games I never got a chance to play. Doom, with mods made it an amazing experience. Then started seeing other build engine games and ran into this game. Wow, so awesome to play this game. And the amount of quality in it! I have only passed the first 2 levels and already got more hrs into it than more modern games these days will give you at a 60 dollar price tag. So far my favorite level is the first chapter, very fun, and full of creativity.

Good gory fun, straight out of the '90s!

Blood is seriously one of the most stylish and unique games of its era, and one that absolutely deserves its status as a cult classic. It is to horror movies what Duke Nukem is to action flicks. Pitting you against armies of zombies and gargoyles, Blood is fueled by pop culture references but still manages to feel like its own thing thanks to its beautiful soundtrack, creepy aesthetic, and sense of dark humor. The excellent level design also helps: great care has been put into the environments so that each place you visit looks different from the last and feels lived-in. The gory, unsettling atmosphere is complemented by great action and satisfying gunplay… Although to be honest, not everyone will like it. Blood has its share of annoying enemies (those damn spiders) and is hard even on low difficulty modes: gun-toting cultists hide behind every corner and can deplete your health in an instant, so do not hesitate to indulge in shameless save-scumming! The gameplay is an “acquired taste” and definitely becomes a lot more enjoyable as you progress. The combat of the game indeed has a rhythm to itself, and once you get the gist of it you’ll have a great time with the numerous weapons put at your disposal. Yup, Blood fully lives up to its name, and somehow got away with amounts of sadistic violence most modern games won’t approach: the devs were VERY creative with the weapon roster, and you will constantly dismember, explode, burn, melt, electrocute and send flying your opponents in what remains one of the most satisfying display of nineties brutality! As for this remaster: I think it’s a bit rough since it has glitches and bugs on occasion and lacks some features, such as texture filtering… but it’s good enough, and I’m glad it exists to introduce Blood to new players. The original game is included as a bonus download anyway, so I would recommend the BloodGDX sourceport over this version. Whatever you choose, Blood is a classic that deserves your time and attention!
