Needs some polish, otherwise, great port
What's its got going for it: - Plays smooth under DX11, Vulkan or OpenGL but I see no difference - Most everyone knows that the MIDI music is better than the CD Music but to each their own. Turn off CD Music and the MIDI soundtracks play pretty close to what you expect form Sound Canvas VA - True to the original game. Textures look original. - If you don't already have the original BLOOD, the original DOS version using DOSBox is included as a goodie! What's not so great: - Cryptic Passage is not a separate choice from the menu. It is under user maps and you select the specific level you want to play - Second level of Cryptic Passage has texture issues. Road is some flashy moving wierdness, textures are all wrong at the theater. I personally like using NBlood with the original DOS files but you do need to know how to play MIDI music properly using external methods like VirtualMIDISynth. If you don't already have BLOOD, the original DOS version is included as a goodie! If Night Dive adds Cryptic Passage as a choice from the main menu and fixes some texture issues, I think its a great port. I had no sound issues like some have mentioned.
