Classic Shooter, "Good Enough" Port
So One Unit Whole Blood is amazing and a classic. That's kinda obvious (besides hit-scanning enemies, ew. But you can save scum, so it's fine). Blood Fresh Supply is a remaster of that game, and it mostly does everything right. - Updated to support high framerates, FOV settings, and modern resolutions (among some other new features, but those are all i really care about). - It's got some flaws though. Specifically, there's no enemy kill counter or secret tracker for each level. So you won't know how many secrets or kills you achieved during the current level until completing it. These features are usually available in retro shooters like Ion Fury, Amid Evil And DUSK. - You also can't select the "fire" or "use" button to reload your last save upon dying. Which is really necessary in a difficult shooter like Blood, because you'll be dying a lot. You can sort of circumvent this issue by binding quickload to an easily accessible keybind (like R or F3 or whatever you want). - It's also kind of difficult to remove keybindings from actions. Or rather, it's easy but never told to the player. What you need to do if you want to unbind a hotkey is select the action in the customize inputs menu, then re-enter the already active keybind and the game should remove that specific hotkey from that action. Sorry if i explained it weird, but hopefully that helps. Anyways, that's all the complaints i have about this remaster. Since the game is so good and the asking price is a great value, it's hard to give this any less than 4 stars. So go ahead and pick this up if you're itching to replay one of the classic Build Engine games from the 90s. The game itself is a masterpiece, so Blood Fresh Supply will get an easy recommendation from me.
