Blood Radiant

It's a great game, though not without its flaws. I love souls likes and I love Lovecraft. The time loop theme is brilliant. I beat the game, seemingly on the fastest possible ending, using whiskey, and then started NG+, and that's where the rough edges become noticeable (the average enemy is wildly overpowered). The main drawback is the lack of an inventory (namely, the ability to store weapons). Also, even with the first boss, I noticed strange invulnerability frames while dodging, but you can get used to it. The magnetic enemies are a problem, especially with bosses. Otherwise, there are only positives: consumables, which really help out, an interesting lore (plot), unusual visuals (I love the pixilation and stylization), and a variety of enemies. If you ignore the downsides I described (which are more my personal nitpicks), the game is magnificent. I bought it and don't regret it one bit. I couldn't pass by a solo developer and not support him with a coin. I hope to see more of this from you 👍

Como um fã de terror cósmico e souls-like, esse jogo é maravilhoso!

honestly I do recommend this game, it's fun, and the dev is great with fixing bugs as long as you report them. Just do make sure that you won't get headaches from the old style graphics the game has, and you'll have a good time. I don't know what number rating i would give the game but i had a blast and it was pleasantly long. I would 100% play a dlc that adds more new game to play.

Had this on my radar after the Iron Pineapple video and decided to buy after it got a few patches. Not too far into the game yet (just beat my second boss), but having a lot of fun. Not sure if combat was improved a lot, or I'm just vibing with it more, but it is quite enjoyable. There is jank there of course, but nothing too bad. And the vibes are just great. If you are like me and have had this haunting your mind after seeing the IP video, do yourself a favour and give it a try!

Blood Radiant is awesome! First things first: You don’t play this game for the gameplay. It’s serviceable and works okayish. Where the game really shines is in its take on H. P. Lovecraft and all the hidden things you can find. I fell in love with the style right away. The whole thing has a vibe that reminds me of grainy promo screenshots in a gaming magazine from the ’90s. The way the voice acting was edited, combined with a well-chosen soundtrack, is a lot of fun. The story is written in a way that gives you a general understanding of what’s happening and what it’s all about, but there are plenty of mysteries that let you interpret and puzzle things out. And once you’ve beaten the game, you can play through it again and discover new NPCs, new bosses, and new endings. You start experimenting with different choices and uncover new content. The good thing is, the first playthrough is really hard, but afterward, in NG+, you’re strong enough to take on more challenges. If you can overlook a somewhat basic combat system, you’ll get a really fun game here for a small price.

[h1]Pasión, Lovecraft y puro carisma "cutre"[/h1] Si hay una palabra que define a Blood Radiant, esa es ALMA. En una industria llena de productos pulidos pero vacíos, este soulslike lovecraftiano destaca por la pasión que destila en cada rincón. No es un Triple A y no pretende serlo, pero tiene algo que muchos de esos gigantes ya han perdido: personalidad propia. [hr][/hr] [h2]⚔️ Jugabilidad con garra[/h2] Aunque el juego se siente tosco o cutre en ciertos momentos, las mecánicas centrales están donde tienen que estar. [list] [*] [b]Parry y esquiva:[/b] Sorprendentemente bien implementados. El combate tiene peso y requiere precisión; cuando dominas el ritmo, la satisfacción es real. [*] [b]Diseño de niveles:[/b] Es, sin duda, uno de los puntos más fuertes. No tiene nada que envidiar a los grandes del género; de hecho, la interconectividad y la atmósfera superan a varios títulos con presupuestos millonarios. [*] [b]Un mundo Lovecraftiano:[/b] La historia es intrigante, divertida y te empuja a querer saber más sobre este universo oscuro. [/list] [hr][/hr] [h2]🎭 El encanto de lo imperfecto[/h2] El carisma de este título reside precisamente en sus aristas. El voice acting camina por esa línea tan fina entre lo serio y lo cómico que acaba resultando fascinante. Los gráficos no son punteros, pero esa estética refuerza el tono del juego. Es una experiencia honesta: lo que ves es la visión de un desarrollador implicadísimo que escucha a su comunidad y busca mejorar el producto constantemente. [hr][/hr] [b]Veredicto:[/b] No es un juego para quien busque una experiencia técnica impecable y genérica. Es un juego para los que valoran el riesgo, la ambientación y el diseño de niveles por encima de la resolución de las texturas. Si perdonas que sea algo cutre, descubrirás una joya con muchísima personalidad que te atrapará por sus ganas de hacer algo único.
