Bloodholic

[h2]An Aneurysm-Inducing Read[/h2] [i]Bloodholic[/i] is a story about vampires and werewolves, or something like that. Honestly, I gave this game a good few minutes to pull me in, but, I just couldn't understand a word of what was going on. The English translation is just painful to read. Also, while I was playing, a bunch of exceptions kept popping up, which is really concerning. It wouldn't even let me view the CGs. To give the game some credit, I really enjoy the art style and look of the characters, the music is also pleasant. If I knew Mandarin Chinese, then maybe this game would hook me, but at the moment, I cannot recommend this to English speakers.

It is a bit convoluted story with two possible routes to the end. English tranlasation is good but not good enough to follow closely so some nuances of the story are easily confusing or hard to grasp. Probably better to try some translator on original version and hope for the best. It is a murder mystery set in fantastical world.

I didn't understand the story because of the bad English

A decent story, ok artwork and music

Игра 'Bloodholic' - это динамичный и брутальный шутер, который погружает в атмосферу безумных перестрелок и кровавой бани. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в пиксель-арте, придает игре неповторимый ретро-шарм, а драйвовый саундтрек идеально дополняет происходящее на экране. Сюжет, хоть и не претендует на глубину, успешно выполняет свою функцию - мотивирует к уничтожению полчищ врагов. Геймплей фокусируется на постоянном движении и использовании различного оружия, которое можно найти по мере прохождения уровней. Разнообразие врагов, каждый из которых требует индивидуального подхода, не дает заскучать. Игра щедро одаривает игрока взрывами, фонтанами крови и прочими эффектами, что создает ощущение настоящего хаоса. К недостаткам можно отнести некоторую однообразность уровней и отсутствие возможности улучшать оружие. Тем не менее, 'Bloodholic' - это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет быстрый и бескомпромиссный шутер, способный отвлечь от повседневной рутины и подарить заряд адреналина. Рекомендую любителям игр в духе 'Hotline Miami' и 'DOOM' (классических частей).
