Our take on Bleed

The bounce point arrives when rapid dodging becomes the main test. Players who cannot keep pace with the movement system may hit that wall during enemy-filled levels, changing boss patterns, and Arcade Mode’s one-life run.

What is Bleed?

Bleed is an action-platformer centered on fast movement, evasive maneuvers, and challenging combat.

Players guide Wryn through seven levels containing enemies, obstacles, set pieces, and bosses. Four difficulty levels change enemy placement and boss patterns. Local two-player co-op is available in every mode and requires at least one gamepad. Three characters can be unlocked, each adding a different gameplay variation. Arcade Mode requires completing the entire game without losing a life. Challenge Mode lets players select and fight up to three bosses at once.
