Blood: Fresh Supply

The level design, the gore, the monsters, the weapons, the break-neck pace... glorious. Perfect for horror fans - endless references to films like Evil Dead, The Shining and Friday the 13th. Drenched in occult and satanic themes. Now in HD, with all the extra levels. Absolutely perfect in every way.

I wasn't even around when this first came out. This is the first old school FPS I've thoroughly played. I dislike most standard FPS games, but this one really stands out for its unique atmosphere and gunplay. Certainly different from Doom and its clones. Pleasantly surprised and impressed, thumbs up!

I purchased Blood on sale because I remembered a childhood friend had the game on their computer I loved it and it's aesthetic back in the day. I have to admit I was initially a little disappointed at the pacing of combat in the early stages and I got a little nauseous from how the game handles depth perception as you move around and look up or down - I even considered cancelling my purhcase within the first few hours of gameplay, even though I'd only spent a few euros on it. But boy, am I glad I stayed. Once I got into the groove of the game I grew to love it one more. The weapons, the enemies, the level design - it all oozes such quality and charm that I feel compelled to press on. The little details and references tell you how much the devs loved their game, and it's so much fun to be taken on their journey through the different maps.

In my opinion, this ranks as one of the greatest FPS games that I have ever played. Satisfying gunplay, you really feel the impact of your shots. The weapons are fun. The atmosphere is quite palpable, especially if you enjoy campy horror and satires. The protagonist has some great one-liners. If you've enjoyed Doom and especially Duke Nukem 3d, or any of these boomer shooters, please play this game. It's worth your time. A great Build engine game. The only thing that sucks is our usual enemy: hitscanners. Hate 'em. And like usual, keyhunting may be a bit tedious, but I didn't think that it was so bad. You owe it to yourself to play this game if you enjoy any sort of FPS.

Blood: Fresh Supply is a delicious version of Blood: One Unit Whole. While the original version, WHICH IS ALSO INCLUDED AS A GOODIE, runs on MS-DOS via DOSBOX, this release is self-contained in a shiny new engine with a whole bunch of polish, new graphical settings and the gameplay is unchanged! This is the original Blood you know and love, but for modern hardware. For the price, especially since at the time it's 50% off, it's well worth the price. And again, you get the original DOS version for free, included.
