Our take on Bloodthief
Its focus on speed-running and linked movement-combat systems leaves less room for a relaxed pace or straightforward, low-complexity encounters.
What is Bloodthief?
Bloodthief is a fast-paced melee dungeon runner in which a vampire uses momentum to traverse dangerous crypts and castles.
Movement and fighting are linked as blood from undead enemies fuels abilities and increases speed. The game includes 30 main stages, additional secret areas, 20 weapons with distinct perks, and more than 100 secrets. Levels contain alternate routes, shortcuts, and hidden rewards, with magical abilities and loot to discover. Progress depends on learning its interconnected movement and combat systems. Steam Workshop supports custom maps, while ghost races let players compete against friends and other players. The structure focuses on speed-running, route selection, parkour, and close-range attacks across labyrinthine dungeon environments.
