Blood will be Spilled

A terrific looking and sounding game, with nice narrative that is (unfortunately) marred severely by bugs (and by this I don't mean "insects", which the characters in Blood Will Be Spilled are). I cannot fathom why the devs didn't try harder to fix the game and "tighten up the screws" so to speak, but it certainly shows potential for some future installments to improve upon already great (yet, again, bugged) formula of light platforming and neat turn-based combat. The visuals are 10/10, very nicely drawn and conceptualized. The world, albeit not much explained in-game, is just brimming with untapped potential (primarily due to this game being a work of just a handful of developers - guess they were trying to punch above their weight, and that this is why the game is a flawed gem). Since the main programmer left the team (and rightly so, judging by how incompetent he coded the game), the devs are currently unable to move forward with a sequel, despite there being an after-credits cliffhanger that opens path for making one. I hereby put a positive review, in good faith that Doublequote Studio will make a sequel down the line, and make a great successor to this ambitious (yet flawed…

Blood will be Spilled is a narrative-focused platforming adventure developed and published by Doublequote Studio that combines tactical turn-based combat, western storytelling, exploration, and comic-inspired presentation into a distinctive experience that stands apart from traditional indie action titles. Built around a frontier world populated entirely by insects, the game embraces classic western influences while introducing enough originality through its setting and gameplay systems to create an identity entirely its own. What begins as a revenge story slowly develops into something larger, blending personal conflict with larger dangers hidden beneath a harsh and lawless frontier. The game follows Jack, a mosquito bounty hunter driven by vengeance and survival in a dangerous world where violence and betrayal shape daily life. His pursuit of justice quickly evolves into a far more complicated journey involving criminal factions, dangerous enemies, and hidden truths spread across hostile territories. The narrative structure benefits heavily from strong pacing because it slowly reveals larger conflicts without abandoning the personal motivations driving the protagonist forward. …

Fun 7 hour experience with tactical combat and puzzles, Typical western cowboy story that manages to be unique and uses the bug aesthetic to its advantage. Only issue was there is a bug if you activate the final bosses second form while you still have an extra attack the game will freeze.

Ah, yes, at every point, this game is strong enough to make it a walk through. a few issues in it but It's an indie game, so you should understand that.

This game blasphemes, wish I would of found it sooner I would of gotten my money back!
