BATS: Bloodsucker Anti-Terror Squad

BATS is an okay action game that lacks quality of life features that could have made it much better. There are 6 linear levels that are equally annoying and entertaining. They end with a boss fight that's pretty much learning the pattern. There are five different characters to play, but they all do pretty much the same thing. There's a dodge move, but I never used it. There are special abilities, but I could never get my blood gauge filled because I kept getting hit. I managed to beat the game in two sittings. One thing that annoyed me is that the game doesn't save your progress. I got up to the 3rd level and had enough so I quit. I later found out that I had to start the campaign from level one (which includes a tutorial). The game does save the progress you made in getting new characters, but I didn't like that I had to start the game all over again if I quit. Not bad, but not great. You could do worse with $10.

Somehow I missed the release of this game.. I regret it! I got my hands on it after checking out the rest of this developer games and decided to give this one a shot too especially with such a cute bat.. (Ok, I'll be honest.. I saw the bat and went to check the rest [all..] of their games that I had) I was amazed by how well made their games are and this includes this one as well. Considering and their initial prices and discounts it's 100% worth getting them. Here you play as "Dracula" and later on and as different unlockable characters, collecting blood to try and stay alive while killing your zombified enemies and progressing those hard -but fair- levels. You'll need to familiarize you're self with the game and actually learn how to play it to beat it. It requires skill and it is not based on luck. At times, you'll get frustrated but with each try you'll get a little bit further and one step closer to the satisfaction of beating the level and eventually the game! Along side you, this cute bat from the videos and screenshots will be from time to time, depending on how good are you at keeping it safe! Well.. I'm trying for sure.. I love it! The controls are extremely convenient…

BATS is good gory fun! Retro vibes, unique gameplay and blood everywhere. What more could you ask for?

A very fun game. It is essentially Bro Force with Vampires (lots of explosions, humor and so much blood). My only complaint is that it is quite short (I've already beaten it twice with less than five hours of play time), but it is certainly worth the buy when discounted.

Solid retro style platformer. Love it!

Surprisingly decent little horror inspired 2d platformer/beat em up.
