Played this a bit at the turn of the century but I was much too young to fully appreciate it or finish it. This is the best parts of Doom and the best parts of Duke 3D. The difficulty is a bit jarring at first but once you get acquianted with the mechanics, things start making sense. The game is bursting with fantastical and creative ideas, be it the weapons, the levels or the enemies. The shooting feels as good as any of the Dooms or Quake. A joy to play.
Blood is considered best game using Build engine, and for a good reason. What it lacked in a visuals, it delivered in gameplay and atmosphere.
First and foremost - this game is hard, but it's not an unfair challenge. Enemy and weapon roster is varied: you will fight against cultists, zombies, gargoyles and other monsters. Your arsenal consists of shotgun, dynamite, voodoo doll and even a lighter with spray can. You will need to learn not only how you use your weapons efficiently, but also which monster is more resistant to which weapon. Levels are very well designed, despite being complex you won't get lost. The more memorable maps are opera house, burned home near swamp, haunted hotel, funfair, lumber mill turned to people-killing facility... The list goes on. And each map is filled to the brim with secrets and easter eggs (my favourite: jukebox, which instead of music plays screams of murdered people).
Sound effects and music are just marvelous. Game comes with two soundtracks (CD Audio and MIDI), and both of them just drip with atmosphere of dread. It's easily the best horror music I've ever heard in retro FPS, only Hexen comes close. Game is filled to the brim with chilling SFX. Graphics, despite using dated engine for a 1997 standards, maintain the gloomy mood. Sprites are detailed, and some of them can be replaced with 3D models made with voxels.
So, what about the remaster itself? I've been playing latest version (1.9.10) and experienced no crashes and glitches. However, comparing to work done by Nightdive with Strife, I wish that there was native Linux/Mac support. Thankfully, Wine works great with Blood. Moreover, with Strife devs went extra mile with additional sidequests and eye-candy, which is missing there. Anyway, right now it's stable reconstruction of original game engine. And if you want original DOS version, then it's also included in the package (it used to be sold separately).
If you have never played it before, get it now!
The game is great fun. Big array of weapons, great enemy variety, lots of pop culture references, interesting story, fantastic level design with many secret levels.
The game has sadly been banned in Germany for many years, but finally I could play it.
I love this game, with its cheesy one-liners, pop-culture references and huge amounts of gore, it provides the dopamine I need! The amount of replayability is endless with its easy to impossible without a guide secrets and variety of ways to kill the many enemy types. From what I've experienced, this game definitely is the winner of all 90's shooters!
