Our take on Bloodshed
The store presentation gives equal weight to shooting modes, character variety, builds, enemies, progression, visuals, and sound. The central structure remains repeated runs against large hordes, so the breadth of listed systems does not change the game's repetition-focused format.
What is Bloodshed?
Bloodshed is a first-person roguelite shooter built around repeated battles against large groups of cultists, undead, demons, and other creatures.
Runs take place across multiple biomes and combine auto-shooting with an option to aim and fire manually. Experience points can be spent on weapons and skills during a run, while money retained after death buys permanent improvements and unlockable content. Several playable characters offer different abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Optional objectives can open additional skills and game features. Enemies have distinct abilities and attack patterns, with elite opponents providing more loot. The game uses pixelated retro visuals, fluid movement, gore effects, and an adaptive soundtrack.
