Blood: Fresh Supply

Let's get this out of the way right now. If you're keyboard and mouse gamer, this version play's so much better than the original version. In the DOS version, if you try to aim with the mouse, it would feel somewhat weird since it seems like that version can only read one axis movement at a time. Thankfully, this version doesn't have that problem. For gamepad (read Xbox 360/ Xbox One controller) users, such as myself, you want to customize your controls as the defaults are a bit strange to say the least, such as using the Y button to crouch. Also, it is impossible to save your game with solely the gamepad as you'll need to type a name for your save file. Hopefully the devs will allow an option to work around this. At least you can map quick save to a button, just make sure to not map it to the A, B, or dpad buttons. Outside of those caveats, the game plays great with a gamepad. If you prefer using a dinput controller (pc controllers made before Xbox controllers), the game technically supports dinput, but you will have to edit the .cfg file for the menu commands for menu navigation. I suggest looking up this game's PC Gaming Wiki page for more information on that. Even the display options were nicely touched up with things like borderless window mode, multi-monitor support, and different rendering options. One other issue I do have with the game is that since the game saves into your profile folder (the DOS version saved in the game's directory), it will usually take up to 30 seconds to save. Do keep in mind that I use an SSD as a boot drive, and a HDD for game storage. Also, it is a bit prone to crashing. I'm not sure how frequent the issue is, but I suggest that you look on various forums about what is causing the crashes and how frequent they are before purchasing the game. Hopefully, NightDive can iron out the issues, as most of the game is better than ever. I wouldn't mind these guy remastering Shogo or Blood 2 next.

Very nice refresh of the old game. Original version was ok, but controls were not that great, you had to spend some time with setting to make mouse look working properly. This version adds normal controls, antialising, and it's still that good old game we all love.

Well this was a nice surprise. Am getting 60FPS, my mouse now works like it should without having to play with the x, y, access and bindings, which was a real annoyance once, and the game just feels like Im playing it again for the first time. This was a nice redo on the game and it was about time since Duke has had a 32bit mod for ages now. Just need one for Redneck Rampage and life will be really sweet.

I was excited to play the source ports of Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior Classic. I was always wondering why there was no source port of Blood because playing it in DOSBox was a real pain. Now I have the version of blood I always wanted and it was almost a steal. Still the old graphics, much better controls widescreen fullHD and more options! Thanks to the team behind this port!

The game is a lot of fun, credit to the original creators. But some of the bugs on this release are are getting on my nerves. The CD Music bug, where you load a quick save and the music stops till you restart your game, confuses me, surely the people re-releasing would have picked up on a bug like this. The qucksave lag issue, an odd one, for me its only for a second or so but it seems like the game is still running whilst saving, so if my finger is on the W key and i quicksave a second later I'm halfway across the room I'm in or fallen of the ledge i was on. The closest thing i could compare it to would be, lag. These are not game breaking bugs, for me, but a little irritating. I still think the game is great, but it's the little things that count, and if they add up they spoil the game. A patch would be nice!
