For players craving a retro-style shooter with a heavy-metal flair, this game is an absolute must-play.

Gameplay-wise, it’s fun and what you expect of a classic shooter. the weapons feel too samey and don’t look to have a difference in damage. My biggest issue is the lack of detail on level design. Most of the time it feels like I’m running through nothing but corridors with little to nothing to do. I didn’t finish the game because of being soft locked out of the exit on the Warehaouse level. I had the key but the door just wouldn’t open up even after restarting the level and playing back up to that point. Mekkablood: Quarry Assault’s levels are very much a maze, and the coloured corridors ended up messing with my eyes. There just wasn’t enough there for me to enjoy Mekkablood, and with the level design. That’s why I’m giving it the Bronze Award.

All the AI-generated content in the world cannot save the one cool visual idea that Mekkablood has, but it's not like it tried that hard to begin with.
