Bloodshed Steam Charts & Stats

Lots of gibs. Great guns. Killing demons. Whats not to like? Game is not overly complicated. Edited from thumbs up to down: I played the game more and the more skills, abilities, spells, guns, I unlocked, the less likely they will show up in random cards. I believe the game will feel more fun if I was given the option to choose or at least purchase the guns while in game rather than it being part of the cards that I will have to select. By unlocking more items, I feel like the game is punishing me instead of rewarding my progress.

It is Vampire Survivors but in 1st person, and it looks like Blood. It is the dumbest shit I have ever seen, and I SHOULD be insulted how how milked down the retro fps mechanics are, but I can't, it is so stupidly charming I just can't say no. I got it on a sale for 6 euros and that is stupidly good value too. I recommend.

the chaotic gameplay pulled me in and the map layouts aren't too confusing. BUT if there's one think that drives me insane is that the usual rerolls, banish and bookmarking mechanics are consumables AND THE PRICES GETTING 3X MORE EXPENSIVE AFTER EACH PURCHASE, the avarice upgrades don't even cover more than 2 of each when collecting from each level clear. I don't even bother buying that and even then the level up choices don't feel RNG after getting the same 3 in a row even when all the weapon and spell slots aren't filled.

Cool concept and mostly well done except for the serious frame rate issues that appear with too many enemies on a map. Even on a top of the line system it's basically unplayable in those situations. Hope they can address it in a future patch but as of now it's just too frustrating of an experience to recommend.

Unfortunately unplayable on Steam Deck (for now) I really want to like this game the concept is great, the visuals are beautiful, and the gameplay seems very promising. However, despite being marked as "Verified" for Steam Deck, the performance is simply unacceptable. The game frequently drops to 15 FPS or lower, making it nearly unplayable in its current state. I’m leaving a negative review for now only because of the performance issues on the Deck, not because of the game itself. If the developers manage to optimize it or address these issues in future updates, I’ll gladly update my review. Until then, I can’t recommend it for Steam Deck players.

Demo is the best part of this game, don't trust the demo Past a few starting lvls, the exp flow is VERY SLOW Enemies turn into bullet sponges really quickly Unless you get some lucky workbench upgrades early, you might as well restart Weapon design is boring af. Imagine being able to come up with any weapon in you fantasy game, and all you get is a pistol, and smg, a shotgun, a minigun and a generic ass wand... you get the idea And you don't even make them do anything remotely interesting smh Same with your permanent upgrades, it's just a bunch of some basic small incremental stat boosts, as generic and bland as you can get Also, rerolls, banishes, revives ARE CONSUMABLE and cost A LOT to re-buy It should be considered a warcrime to do this, stay away from this dumpster fire A shame though, because visuals and core gameplay are really fun

7/10 A fun mix of boomer-shooters and roguelite survivals. Bloodshed is a game that could be described as "first person Vampire Survivors", with some similarities to VS but also some unique elements of its own. You pick a level and a character, then you have to survive for a certain amount of time while also completing other objectives, with some challenge levels being available and even boss fights. Custom mode is also unlocked when all levels are completed, allowing the player to choose which level to play and then choose time, difficulty and number of breakable pillars. It's a fun game, with lots of different weapons and spells to use, with weapons being actively used when they're equipped, being able to switch to different weapons, whereas spells activate passively on a cooldown. Upgrades are obtained upon leveling up or from chests obtained from bosses. The game also has an objectives list on the main menu to show exactly how to unlock each new weapon, spell, ability or passive upgrade. There is also an option to automatically shoot/strike, whenever the weapon is aimed at an enemy or destroyable object. On a surface level, it's a very fun game, but some issues start to show up over time - mainly, the lack of content (which I believe should be addressed with future updates). Difficulty options are also not great, as they just increase stats - making enemies harder to kill and cause more damage to the player. It would have been much more interesting to have difficulty levels increase numbers of enemies and elite/bosses, so there is a high-risk-high-reward system for playing at higher difficulties. Additionally, some things in the game that should have been passive upgrades are instead consumables, making it so the player has to re-purchase these after using them - and each item of that type gets progressively more expensive. I understand that this was done to possibly make it so money has a purpose even after buying all upgrades and characters, but I'd rather have a different use for money, maybe with some powerful but expensive upgrades that require some grinding, rather than have to re-purchase consumables. There is also one minor issue, which is that you can't make bulk purchases of consumables and instead have to buy them one by one, having to slide the screen down each time. It's a minor annoyance, sure, but I'd rather be able to make bulk purchases and not have to scroll down every time. Finally... Chest animations cannot be skipped, you have to wait for the animation every single time you get one. This isn't a big problem during the early game on each level, but later on, as more bosses and elites start to show up, this brings the game's pace to a halt when you're having to open multiple chests. I really wish the game had at least some sort of unlockable feature to allow players to skip the animation and just get the rewards, in order to not slow the game down. Overall, this is a 7/10 game with the potential to be a lot more. I recommend it in its current state, but hopefully I'll be able to recommend it even more later, once some of these issues are fixed and more content is brought to the game.

Really like this game so far since it blends two of my favorite games together (DOOM and Vampire Survivors), but to say it's Verified on Steam Deck is a bit of a stretch. It runs and plays, but I'm barely hitting 30fps at times, sometimes dipping into the mid teens. This should be classified as Playable since the normal graphics preset doesn't perform that great on the Deck as of right now. Hopefully this will get fixed in a later update.

Yes!!! This isnt another lackluster clone... this one actually has a lot going for it. Lots of characters to unlock, secret spiders to find to gain coins to unlock bonus missions, lots of unlockables and weapon choices. Im not sure I would call it a game you can play forever, but for the price and the content, its a deal! The game has a charming graphic style that works very well and they got some cool looking baddies in there. The gameplay is smooth and has automatic spells (similar to Vampire Survivors) but also has a couple of main weapons you can swap between and shoot freely. Its really addicting and once you get past the first hurdle or so, you begin to see how it is. Its like DOOM, always stay on the move. STRAFE! It really feels like a lot of passion has been poured into it by the devs and theyve been patching and improving and adding things since launch. Support these devs because its truly a good roguelike in a sea of soulless clones.

It has all the ingredients but the sauce isn't there. These survivor style games need all your weapons/abilities to merge and synthesis with each other, but Bloodshed doesn't do that with its weapons. There is no benefit of swapping, they do not add on to each other, and having more is a handicap versus a benefit. I didn't feel like I was making a build, I was just using a singular gun which should be a sin in boomer shooters. Unless progression is revamped, this is an unfortunate skip.
