Description

Bloodshed is an exhilarating fusion of Roguelite elements merged with retro-styled visuals and first-person “Survivors-like” frenetic combat action: Face endless waves of undead foes, collect experience points, and upgrade your skills and weapons in a battle to survive the night. Even after death, you keep your hard-earned money which can be exchanged for persistent improvements and unlockable content, allowing you to progress further while adding depth to the overall gameplay.

Face the malevolent threat of the Cult, whose members are pursuing a sinister plan to resurrect an ancient deity to bring about the apocalypse. Battle countless cultists, undead, demons, and other creatures of the night and send them (back) to their graves!

Each enemy presents a unique challenge and requires its own strategy - and you'd better get ready quickly, because they come in masses!

Bloodshed boasts a diverse roster of playable characters, each with distinct abilities and playstyles, providing a personalized gameplay experience. With a vast selection of weapons and skills at your disposal, you can experiment with various builds to discover the ideal strategy for your survival.

With a bit of luck and the right strategy you will stand your ground against the hordes of darkness!

Death doesn’t stop you from progressing. Persistent upgrades, unlockable content, and continuous improvement await in Bloodshed, with the ability to exchange hard-earned cash for permanent upgrades. You can also complete optional objectives for unlocking new skills and game features, ensuring each run pushes you further into the depths of the Cult's dark world.

Bloodshed was a really fun surprise. The gameplay is fast, chaotic, and satisfying, making it easy to lose track of time during a run. It honestly reminded me of Megabonk, which is a big reason why I enjoyed it so much

Decent game for what it is. If you're looking for depth, look elsewhere. The gameplay is fun for a while but grows stale after a few hours. The character dialogue, repetition, and lack of variety are what killed this

Coming back to this game after my first playthrough (near 100%) a while back, I'm noticing a common gripe within the reviews is the limited amount of content and short overall playtime. I do fully agree that if the devs

A very good arena shooter! The only thing that was frustrating for me is the weapon RNG. The game gives me plenty spells but weapons are rare in the lvl up screen. Out of my 10+ hrs of gameplay I never one saw let alone

6/10 7/10 if you like these types of game. Fun for a bit but not much content. Not well balanced and much of the power ups, spells and guns don't synergize with each other. Art style and gun play is fun. Can be very fun
