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.

I really liked this game for a bit, but there is very little content. You can describe It as a rougelite boomer shooter, and leave it at that. It was a bit of an acquired taste, but I was enjoying it. The problem is, I

This game might be simple in its scope and gameplay but I love how uncomplicated, challenging, and rewarding it can be. This game is a great hack and slash that can end up eating hours of your time. I love DOOM and this

While this game has a lot going for it, it's clear it was released before they actually finished it and abandoned. Normal difficulty is insanely easy, the extra difficult you unlock isn't much of an extra challenge. The
