Crossbow: Bloodnight

CROSSBOW: Bloodnight is a concentrated dose of action. It doesn’t pretend to be a grand epic; it doesn’t offer an expansive campaign or sophisticated RPG systems. Instead, it delivers intense, fast-paced, and stylish combat that relies on reflexes, pace, and a willingness to try again—provided you have the patience to deal with enemies constantly spawning at your position.

For $5, Crossbow: Bloodnight provides a nice, quick arcade experience for those who want something simple and don't have lots of time to spare. The fast-paced nature keeps things exciting, and while there are times that can feel like the game is using unfair tactics, the instantaneous replay system and focus on shooting keeps you glued to the screen, even for a short while. If you need a quick palate cleanser between bigger titles, this'll do in a pinch.

You will see everything CROSSBOW: Bloodnight has to offer in a handful of minutes. It’s very limited in terms of content and things you can do in it. Yet, somehow, it works. It’s a fun battle arena that’s all about honing your skills against a horde of horror-styled enemies in a fun and fast-paced gameplay loop. Being sold for just a few bucks, it’s actually well worth your cash.

If you're low on funds and are looking for nothing but intense shooting action, while they aren't deep, arena shooters can be momentary fun in bursts...
