Blood: Fresh Supply gets everything right...except support for Linux. Fortunately, this Blood reboot includes the DOSboxed version of Blood for Linux (a previous feature of the original gog.com release of Blood). Higher graphics resolutions? Check. Modern WASD controls (no need to reconfigure in DOSbox)? Check. Gamepad support? Check. All boxes are checked and, given Nightdive's track record, Linux support may get a check in the near future. All-in-all, worth getting on gog.com.
Title says all you need. Blood is one of the best fps I have ever played. Sure, modern fps are better looking and have a more apparent story. But, in sheer gameplay alone, this game is on a league of its own. The only fps that can come close may be something like Doom (2016), though that has more benefit from being a modern shooter.
If I had to describe this game, I'd say that it's what you get when you put an arsenal of weapons on a steam train and let it run wild across the map. Splash a helping of horror references and you get Blood.
Just make sure to hard save and quick save OFTEN. There's no autosaves and this game doesn't pull any punches. At all.
THIS is how a remaster should be done. And once again Nightdive delivers. I played the original version somewherein 2003 using DOSBox since i had no system anymore that could natively run this game in DOS and my system was also pretty weak to run this game at full speed in DOSBox. It still ran but not really all that well.
So when Nightdive announced they would be releasing this game i was relieved and instantly bought on release day. And apart from some smaller bugs on release, which have been subsequently patched, i must say playing this game has never bee more fun. it's a FANTASTIC remaster and you can still play it in a purist way if you want to, thanks to the many game- and video options.
Even the original was already a full recommendation for everyone who loves fun and morbid games with so much love for details, easter eggs, hidden secrets and such a strong 90s 3D game flair.
The remastered version even comes with motivating achievements for GOG Galaxy users. Very high replay value because of the creative level design and fun range of weapons. Totally recommended, even if you haven't played this game before.
I want to be clear that this review is for Nightdive's KEX engine port of Blood, not the game itself. Classic Blood is one of the best first-person shooters ever made and it still holds up today even if you're playing it on DOS.
Now the port: Nightdive has done some good work in the past but this port feels a bit off to me. I remember playing the older version of Blood that used to be on GOG and I never recall having any issues, it worked flawlessly to my memory. I preface all of this by saying that you might not have any of the graphical bugs happen to you that I experienced on my PC.
This version seems to have something wrong with certain maps, specifically the cryptic passage maps seem to have graphical issues. I've tried a bunch of settings and nothing fixed it. I even tried running the game files with Nblood and still had graphical issues, like there's something wrong with the actual game files. This really stinks because those were the maps I was most excited to play, as I have played Cryptic Passage the least of the add-ons and that's probably the case for most people.
There are definitely quality of life and graphical improvements in the port (ambient occlusion is a great upgrade) but none of that matters to me if I'm getting unplayable screen-tearing for 15% of the maps, that's just unacceptable. Everything else is just dressing. If you look up 'Blood: Fresh Supply bugs' online, I'm definitely not the only one getting graphical bugs.
"It's something wrong with your computer". Yeah obviously dude, but that's the whole reason I'm buying a modern port; it's meant to work on modern systems. I'm running a $1600 3-year old HP Omen here, it's not some ancient ThinkPad or something. Why is it my problem to solve? That's on the developer.
You might try Fresh Supply on your PC and it may work perfectly fine, but I can only review my experience, not someone else's
I'm upset that I spent $3.99 on this game, I would be very angry if I bought it at $10 or more.
I've struggled for the longest time to get my old dos file to work without glitching out on my laptop, and I've played tons of mods and clever reconstructions of this great game... watched video reviews on how it's been through an endless mess, and it seemed like I would never be able to experience the way BLOOD was meant to be, well bs
BUY THIS GAME!
Night Dive, did a wonderful job getting this out and working great... PLUS it comes with a ton of extras like the dos version one whole unit, soundtrack and more, I just sat here until the sun came enjoying every moment. When I saw it was discounted from 9.99 to 5 bucks and some change at checkout, I did a little dance...............
THANK YOU GOG!
