Hedon Bloodrite

I bought the game because I liked the Warcraft looks and art, and it was quite good. A little heavy on the exploring and puzzles and I mean, a lot of walking from point to point but after a while I got used to. I don't remember when I purchased it but I remember the anouncement of the second part which I got free of charge. Bloodrite had more focus on what actually happened before things went south and involved a lot of characters. I think it was fun, I'm not an expert/snob about gzdoom games but I like shooting monsters and fantasy elements so I was pleased with how this game turned out. I liked the music, weapons and over all the passion of the creator that shines on it, that's why I purchased the dlc, we need more creators like Zan.

It's not often I want to jump right back into a game I had just completed, but Hedon is a gorgeous world packed with so many little details and fun combat that I can't wait to experience all over again.

An ambitious take on on older engine, Hedon is well worth your time. Particularly with the second act, it veers into a more quest based experience than linear shooter, so keep that in mind if you're only in doom engine games for the gunplay.

I had a blast with this FPS. It's a great mix of gory shooter with light rpg elements and enough world building to keep you interested. Music is godly Graphics are retro but art direction is really good. Game is also fairly long.

It plays like a mix of Unreal and Half-Life. There are numerous scripted sequences and non-combat sequences. There is a lot of reading you can do. Sometimes you have to read to understand what to do. The music (when its not just ambiance) really screams Unreal. It feels to me that Unreal was the primary inspiration for the game, but I am not the devloper so I can't speak for what feeling they wanted to create. But it's also interesting, because some maps you re-tread in different ways. It builds a somewhat cohesive world. Very interesting. In the end, it's its own thing, but definitely old school. I think it's pretty good. The art style is interesting. It definitely comes across as indistinct. I mean that... that's the art style. Soft shaded low-res art with little to no linework. Typically when you think spritework, the linework pops because there are usually so few colors in the sprite work. Here, they appear to aggressively shade the art so it doesn't look as much like sprite work any more. It clearly is, though. The main characters are interesting. Sexy, scantily clad orcs. The player character being a half-demon made me want them to play into her being like half-succubus or something. That's never really gone into. There's a world told, but not much for character stories, just what happens in the game.
