But one day, Tchernobog inexplicably kills the four Chosen, including Caleb. Mysteriously resurrected years later, Caleb is out to get revenge, and learn why his lord cast him down so abruptly.
Blood is a first-person shooter with horror elements, which uses the Build engine. Similarly to Duke Nukem 3D, the environment is interactive: many objects can be physically moved or affected in other ways. Destruction of landscapes is possible although only in specific spots , with bullet holes being left by misplaced shots. The Build engine version is 2. I have to tell you that I had never played Blood 3D before I decided to review it for our site.
Also, I have to admit that I am not a fan of "shoot-'em-ups", as I only find them challenging the first time I play them. After that I lose interest in them completely! Played one, played them all You got it. Heads exploding, geysers of ichor fountaining from neck stump?
It's all yours. Deliberate human combustion with sizzling gristle, shattering bones and deep-fried eyeballs? No problemo whatsoever. Windpipes splintering like wicker, ribcages imploding, sheets of bubbling sputum and ham? This attention to detail spreads throughout the game. You'll see wallposters of the Baby Jesus slowly warping into a demonic figurine. You can turn on pieces of machinery or explore bedside drawers or gutters for extra power-ups. Taking a dainty step sideways from Duke Nukem's sci-fi movie homages, Blood features nods, winks, and quotes taken whole from various horror movies.
There's a secret room with 'Sloth' sprayed on the wall and each level is a veritable mishmash of Hammer House, Kreuger and zombie film references.
By far the most extraordinary feature of Blood has to be its sound effects. They are nothing short of incredible. The zombies endlessly crow about "Brainssssss". Set a fanatic on fire and he screams like a girl: "It burns! Oh god it burns," before melting into a heap of steaming entrails accompanied by the appropriate popping and sizzling effects.
The soundtrack too, is a constant wash of Gregorian chanting and Gothic chamber music al! Unfortunately, after playing the full version you get the impression that the designers crammed a lot of their best ideas into the shareware demo. The later levels all get a bit samey and lack some of the sparkle and nice touches of the first episode. You also get the impression that Monolith were trying too hard to create 'another Duke Nukem'.
The Caleb character mumbles to himself in the same cod gravelly voice as Duke, laughs when gibs go flying, and lets forth the occasional one-liner. Also, deathmatch - or rather BloodBath as it is here - is frankly disappointing.
Too many stupidly huge weapons are on offer. Too many power-ups and add-ons dotted around the place. The players also run far too quickly, and the custom network levels are average. Most unimpressive to say the least. Having said all that, Blood is damn enjoyable to play. Its engine and technology may smack you as being somewhat cheap and nasty in this post-Quake reality, but it does possess a certain charm and X a certain smoothness which makes mouse and keyboard manoeuvres both effortless and enjoyable It's very difficult too - the monsters are relentless, the monks have cat-like reflexes, and some of the gargoyles are stupidly tough But it contains enough well-designed architecture, enough nice touches, enough secrets, and enough hardware to supply any Fragmeister with at least 20 hours of solid gameplay.
From the creators of Duke Nukem 3D comes their latest corridor shooter, Blood. A forgotten god is trying to wipe out the human race, and guess what? You're the only person who can stop it.
Armed with weapons like a pitchfork, a voodoo doll, flare guns, and an aerosol can with a lighter, you battle hell hounds, zombies, and gargoyles--just to name some of the evil you'll face.
