Hot Blood Reviews

This isn't the worst game ever, but it certainly belongs in the discussion. What should be a simple 3D beat em up is hampered by poor controls and terrible programming. Achievements are bugged and their counters reset after completing a run, making some impossible to get. When trying to throw an item at an enemy, your character often takes an extra step in the wrong direction, moving the target marker off the enemy and into the void. Enemies level with your character, so the difficulty from level one to level ten is the exact same. The low-poly look is almost OK, but is hampered by the very limited enemy designs and the clothing system for your character is a joke. This whole game feels like someone went out and bought the cheapest available game engine and graphics, put it in a blender and vomited up what you see. I wasted 4 bucks on this game. Do not buy.

Hot Blood initially seemed like it could be fun, but honestly, this game is just plain bad. I mean, for the price (please don't buy it full price if you do want to try it; I got it with a 50% discount), you can't expect much, I guess... but still. The controls are incredibly poorly designed, making it a frustrating mess to play. It's nearly impossible to aim where you want, and trying to dodge anything feels completely broken. You'll spend more time fighting the game's mechanics than actual enemies. It simply doesn't work well, and that makes the whole experience unbearable. I absolutely cannot recommend this one.
