Our take on Bloody Paws Unleashed
The store presentation foregrounds the game's colorful creature roster and expanded remake status, but gives little sense of how much of the experience consists of side-scrolling beat 'em up combat. The unusual premise and enemy designs describe its tone more clearly than its moment-to-moment structure.
What is Bloody Paws Unleashed?
Guide a theatrical werewolf through a search for his abducted wife after finding their home disturbed.
This retro side-scrolling brawler revisits Bloody Paws, the Spanish 1990 release for ZX Spectrum and MSX, with added content. Enemies include mummies skipping rope, invisible figures, inept superheroes, Frankenstein’s creature, and a witch recreated from the original designer’s drawings. The updated edition introduces color, extra stages, new attacks, and material left unfinished in the first version because of limited memory. A fully completed edition of the earlier game arrived on Amstrad CPC in 2020.
