Blood: Fresh Supply

I didn't expect it to support this ridiculous screen format, but it does! Flawlessly! Fun, fast, and hard. Just like I like 'em!

I remember playing this way back when i was a kid. Shadow Warrior and Blood were my favorites. I spent hours looking for all the secret stuff. Now i get a remaster? About 3 episodes in, and I'm already hooked again. The upgrades, the HD support, achievements, and extra episodes only make an extremely valuable game that much better. So worth it. Thank you NightDive, Monolith, and GOG

They fixed pretty much everything that Civiie11 spoke about, though Caleb still sounds too quiet at times.

Blood is infamous for its difficulty which will reward memorisation of stage layouts and enemy placements. That's to its detriment for the most part because it draws difficulty mostly from cheap traps and deadly accurate hits can enemies, and really destroys the pacing of the first play through. Expect to claw your way into this game by save scumming. I say for the most part because the high difficulty makes repeat play more engaging than it would otherwise be. However, Blood is hardly lacking in reasons to replay. Weapons are varied and satisfying to use, very powerful, and unique amongst FPS games. Enemies have similarly hilarious grunts to Duke Nukem 3D, and sprites animate their demises satisfyingly too. Movement is fairly fast as you might expect from its pedigree, allowing one to re-enact their favourite John Woo action scene within constraints. The music compose for this game is good, but not plentiful enough for the number of levels, so it gets repetitive during the campaign. Also play with the midi soundtrack instead of the CD one.

Blood is in my top 10 games of all time and with this new remaster by the legends at Nightdive it can be more accesible and be played by the youth of today. When I first played this game I didn't think much of it and thought it was too challenging. But when I replayed it it finally showed me all of its glory. Blood has some of the funnest and challenging gameplay I have played in any game. I like challenging games as long as they are fun (Hotline Miami, Katana Zero, etc.) and this game sure delivers. Its great to play and the new controls are great. The story is simple. You play as Caleb, a former cult member who was betrayed by the leader. His friends were taken by various different monsters and he must kill them. Its got a good story, and I like how Caleb isn't the basic hero. He is both a villain and a hero. The graphics look even better because of the remaster and it looks great. It has the same charm the build engine games had but with real 3D. The music in Blood enhances the experience. The music is all amazing and its great to hear. Though it seems hard at the start, it gets better as you get better and keep playing tldr: Blood is amazing and has challenging but awarding gameplay.
