[h1]Addictive, Verging on Mental Illness[/h1] [h2]Leaderboards and Gameplay Loop[/h2] SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!! This game is all about its movement tech, which is beyond excellent. Its absolute best asset, however, is its leaderboards, which are brilliantly executed and something that many games get wrong. Bloodthief has a system where you can view the ghosts of players who are within a couple of seconds of you on the global leaderboard. This leads to an addictive loop of starting a new map, theorycrafting a route, then grinding that route to reduce your time. This lets you view more players ghosts and get even more ideas for improving your own route. Eventually, you'll stumble on some truly mad tech, the kind of movement tech that, in most games, would be reserved for only the most autistic of speedrunners. But in Bloodthief youre be the autistic speedrunner. I've spent about 10 hours just on the first two levels alone. I have 24 hours total, and I haven't even finished half the maps or tried any of the other weapons yet beyond the starting weapon. I've found myself so focused on this game that I forget to blink. In the last update, the dev, in his divine wisdom, improved the leaderboards even further. You can now split the leaderboards out by weapon. The weapons affect the movement tech and, therefore, how fast you can go and how to route each map. In the past, many of the top spots were taken by particular weapons, which could be frustrating for anyone trying to run with a different one, but not any longer. Suddenly discovering that you have a top 10 time is like crack. The hook is that if your time was set on an earlier update, you have to get that time again on the new update for it to show on the leaderboard, which gets you straight back on the grind. [h2]Stutter Struggle?[/h2] Nope. This game could run on a potato. [h2]Linux Experience[/h2] You won't need to trawl through ProtonDB for this one. It just works. No tweaks, no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

It's quite fun, although I like the movement far more than the combat. I think if it had been more of a platformer I might have liked it much more. The combat is well implemented for what it is, but I'm just not sold on the idea of a melee quakelike. The most fun the combat got for me was when the game gave you a ranged weapon lmao. I love the art style, and the music is great too. I ovbviously loved the levels where movement was more important the most; there are some really nice levels in there. Levels where you have to fight a lot were miserable for me unless the game gave you a ranged weapon, then they were actually rather fun. The story was quite meh for me, but then again Quake's story is only fun for me because it leans into Lovecraftian elements so I'd say Bloodthief earns a solid 'alright.' The secrets were really fun to discover, and I want to say again just how much fun the movement was. I hate invisible walls a lot, so this game's complete lack of them was so nice. If you have the money and like fast movement in games then give this game a shot, but it's not a must by in my opinion.

I like bc /i like

It has parries, need i say more?

This is definitely one of my favourite games to just pick up and play on my ones, it's engaging to learn the layout of levels and what tactics work best for it and it's satisfying to breeze through them after perfecting it. I enjoy the simple graphics (I'm sure my PC does too) as it means there's no needless visuals getting in the way while it's still able to look good, and the medieval vibe is just friggen tuff I can't not love it. I highly recommend this, I was a little sceptical of buying it since the demo seemed to already give me enough content but the full game is full of much more levels. I will say some of the levels don't feel as thought out as others do, like you wont be able to use a lot of your abilities and are stuck to walking through them, but the good levels (which are the majority) and very fun and only get more repayable as you try to beat either your own or your friends time.

주인공 뱀파이어 초인이 되어서 적을 빠르게 도륙내고 이동하는 쾌속액션 게임이다. 주요컨텐츠중 하나인 새로운 무기를 얻기 위한 조건이 다소 매니악하다. 타임트라이얼 ( 일정 시간내에 클리어하는 )과 맵 수색을 강제해서 유물을 찾아내면 특별한 기능이 담긴 무기를 언락해주는 방식인데, 이게 닿을듯 말듯해서 도전을 유발하는게 아니라 했던 맵을 구석구석 찾아 다녀야 하는데 라이트한 유저는 이 과정에서 흥미를 잃기 딱 좋다. 보상을 널널하게 챙겨주고, 하드코어 유저를 위한 특별보상을 줫으면 어땟을까. 게임은 알차고 재밌으나, 레벨디자인이 아쉬운게임 .
