Akuma's Bloodrain

In the description I read "a fast-paced boomer shooter inspired by the classics DOOM and Shadow Warrior" and got excited, but seemingly didn't let this part linger in my mind long enough: "prepare yourself to face hordes of akumas/yokais that are attacking and creating chaos in your village." I didn't think it was going to be much like either of those '90s classics for a mere five bucks, but really it's nothing like them at all. Akuma's Bloodrain is a horde/arena shooter, that frequently used genre in the Steam bargain bin I'm rarely a fan of. At least there are a few things going for this one over some others, like the ability to shoot or slash, and you can also jump, dash, and jump-dash. Aim is crucial as the more enemy you have in your reticle, the more damage it takes. Also at the end of every wave you can choose to replenish health, shield, or just go straight to the portal for extra score. These things set it apart from the pack a little. Runs well enough with a fair amount of graphics and control options. EDIT: Originally this paragraph was about a level (level 4) that was poorly laid out with lamp poles and trees too close to the walls making it so you constantly get trapped between the objects and can't wall hug, and as you can see with the conversation between me and the developer here and in this game's Steam forum, they responded quickly and fixed it up in under a day. Nice work! Now I can recommend this game more enthusiastically.

Интересную арену, интересных геймплейно и визуально врагов, да настроить баланс так - чтоб игрок не мог играть пассивно. И всё это есть в данной игре. И при том что типов врагов не сказать что много: -улыбчивые хреновины, глазики, монахи, бычки, летающие штуки, да своеобразные деочки из звонка. У каждого свои специфики уничтожения. На "типа средней" сложности - враги кусают достаточно больно, а восстановить здоровье можно только между волнами - что создает дополнительное напряжение. И это круто. Возможностей умерщвления - не то чтоб много. Типа дробовик, клинки наручные да деш который можно сочетать с клинком. Мало - но и игра не сказать что длинная. Ну и еще один однозначный плюс игры - дизайн. Он достаточно броский и неплохо читаемый. А для достаточно шустрой игры - читаемость зачастую очень важный фактор. И вот как раз длинна игры, это скорей палка о двух концах. Если не стараться и не потеть ради улучшения счета, все уровни можно осилить на пару часов. С одной стороны - игра не успевает надоесть. С другой - "маловато будет!". Да и локаций тут н сказать что много. По сути у нас есть одна большая локация, которую дербанят на несколько мелких, и выдают эти огрызочки за уровень. Причем пару раз нам дают полную арену. Короче - игрушка неплохая, особенно если брать по скидочке. Хотя и без нее у игры достаточно демократичный ценник.

Akuma’s Bloodrain is addictive, intense, and really fun. It grabs your attention quickly and keeps you immersed in the action, because there’s barely any room to lose focus, if you get distracted, you die. The soundtrack fits the game really well and adds a lot to the overall atmosphere. The gameplay is also very solid. Everything feels fast and responsive, with no lag and no loading screens getting in the way. It’s the kind of game you start playing and suddenly realize a lot of time has passed. If you like fast-paced action games, I definitely recommend it.

I haven't played for a long time "yet", but I could notice the game is very well polished from the beginning, where we can see the developers have put a considerable amount of effort into making the game configurable for many kinds of hardware and also different gameplay styles for the player to select. Also, the tutorials and hints are very polished. I love that the game has a leaderboard so I can compare myself with the world or my friends. The gameplay also feels very smooth. You get used to the controls naturally, I couldn't notice any weirdness when controlling the character and doing what I want to do in the game. I will keep playing it and later I can come back to post more details about the gameplay when I complete more waves and get more achievements.

Awesome Doom-like shooter! The movement is really satisfying and you can pull off a lot of combined movements really easily. Insta-kill system similar to newer Doom games is a great addition. Feels so good to dash around, then hit super jump, only slash a monster out of the skies, their entrails falling down behind you. Also interesting enemy designs from japanese folklore, that I havent seen in any other game. If you're looking for some fast-paced action, this is it! Also its so cheap wth.

Super fun and addictive. It’s pretty challenging in a good way, and the gameplay loop is just awesome. Also, the art style is gorgeous. Totally recommend it.

Doom Eternal за обед

Eu me diverti bastante jogando Akuma Bloodrain. Os controles são bem responsivos, e sair dando dashes enquanto acerta as garras nos Akumas é extremamente satisfatório. A sensação de progressão é ótima, e a dificuldade está bem balanceada. Com certeza recomendo para quem gosta de jogos de ação com movimentação rápida. Fiquei um pouco confuso com os leaderboards no início, mas depois entendi que eles consideram o desempenho no jogo como um todo então, quanto mais fases você completa com boa pontuação, mais você sobe no ranking. Destaque também para os feedbacks dos ataques: tanto eliminar inimigos com um único tiro quanto com as garras é muito satisfatório. Ah e o mapa das fases é lindo! Parabéns ao artista! O que eu mais curti? Encher a fase de sangue!!!

Muito satisfatório e viciante. Real me passou muito a vibe de Doom Eternal de ação frenética, você ir pra cima dos bicho. Uma escolha que eu achei genial foi o boost de vida/armor não necessariamente ficar perto do lugar pra selar a wave assim você tem a escolha de não recuperar e assim economizar o tempo da viagem, aumentando sua pontuação. Esse jogo manda muito bem no quão arcade ele é.
