Well, what can I say about Blood, in my very point of view, one of the best 3D Shooting games I have ever played that has been created in that time. This game was made by Monolith, and I really don’t understand why they dint make many games of this kind, because this one is really good, even though this game wasn’t that popular at it was Doom or Duke Nukem 3D, well it was known but not as it deserve it.
I had played a lot of 3D shooting games and I didn’t know this one since now, when I played it for the first time, I really like it, and I can tell you that this game doesn’t stays low comparing it from the others. Besides that, I don’t know, but when I played this game it remind me Shadow Warrior and Duke Nukem 3D, because the graphics are very similar to those games, I guess that Ken Silverman was the engine designer, of course this ones are very different.
Lets see the game itself, I think it hasn’t been a game with much blood and gore as this one in that time, if you do not like to see blood anywhere
(even in games) this one is not for you, but if you like gore and violent games with lots of blood, this is your game, simple. The environment is hard to say, but let’s suppose that is a mixed environment, because from castles and cemetery you go to modern places like technological bases, so let’s say that the scenarios are varied. Other things to highlight, are the weapons, you use 9 different weapons from flare gun to pulsar gun and others, in the way you advanced in the game you will find an item that improved your weapon, as the akimbo guns, in which you have double weapons of a kind, for example, you use at a time two flare guns, two shotguns, etc.
The enemies are pretty good, from zombies to invisible ghosts make the game more exciting, also its 5 large and intense episodes with 8 levels each one makes the game also large with lots of fun. In each level, you have to find the way out, for that you will find locked doors, so you will need to, not only survive yourself, but to solve the puzzle of each level and find the keys to make your way through each level. But I’m afraid that if your trying to find an story for the game you wont find it, cause it doesn’t says any story at the beginning, your just a Dracula that are hungry and that in order to keep your health well you’ll need to kill your enemies and eat their hearts. Of course the game has 5 different difficulty levels that make the game more challenging.
The graphics for 1997 are pretty good; the details in general are excellent, such as the weapons, the enemies, the way that your enemy dies, so in conclusion, the details of the game are pretty nice. Well I guess that’s it, an excellent game that worth’s a try.
