#Blud

Blud may not play perfectly, but this seven-hour vampire-killing adventure is such a visual treat that I rarely cared when a boss crushed me or the menu bugged out and I had to reload it. If you can put up with a bit of jank, Blud is worth playing on a big TV screen with some friends, preferably folks who grew up loving late ‘90s animated cartoons. Just be prepared for people going “Oh wow!” a lot as you run around town and save the world with a pink field hockey stick.

#BLUD's not without its drawbacks. Quest objectives can seem vague, the combat takes a while to really get going, and its dungeon design teeters into tedious territory at times. But fun boss fights, a good sense of humour, and an absolutely killer art style can make you forget all about the missteps.

The writing is witty and tight, and the game does a good balance of presentation across its eleven chapters. So between the plot, the side quests, and the hunt for optional fun bits like selfies and collectibles, it never feels like time is wasted.

#BLUD is an extremely beautiful adventure, which delights the eyes with its creative art direction, oozing personality and technical quality. The artists' dedication to delivering an adventure worthy of the best cartoons of the 90s and 2000s is evident, and the story also reflects these efforts. Unfortunately, beauty alone doesn't support dull gameplay, making Becky's Quest just another indie from 2024. One of the prettiest, for sure.

A simple action-adventure game with a stunning visual design, #BLUD is an enjoyable title packed full of jokes, charming characters, and vampires to slay!

A messy release, and not just due to the blood. The bugs and combat issues drag down an otherwise stellar debut title. Hopefully only the beginning for a studio that understands what makes video games fun.

#BLUD is a really cool experience with an awesome Saturday Morning Cartoon vibe, but the lacking combat can hold it back a little. It’s not that anything is bad at all, but rather that it could feel a little bit fiddly thanks to some awkward hitboxes and repetitive actions. It’s a shame too because there are some interesting ideas that are introduced to combat as you progress and face tougher foes, but it doesn’t always pay-off. Despite this, I still enjoyed my time with the game, with the world and dungeon design proving exceptional throughout and the storytelling keeping me fully invested in Becky’s wacky plight. And the cartoon-like visuals? I loved them. It just maybe needed a bit more work to fine-tune some of its flaws, but hey, it’s nothing a patch or two won’t fix.

Visually,Blud# is one of the most beautiful games I have seen . The design of the world, the characters, and the animation are great things that raised the level of the experience , and this was accompanied by an excellent writing that presented interesting ideas that kept me interested in the story and dialogues until the end, but this is a video game, and the gameplay aspects are the things that make an enjoyable game, and unfortunately, these aspects are the least here. The gameplay design is dull, the combat lacks depth, and for the level design , although there are some good moments such as bosses, overall it was disappointing and did not live up to the level of the visual aspects of the game. As a result of these flaws, we got an average game that had the potential to be a distinctive experience.

#Blud is a gorgeous game packed full of charm with fantastic writing, but the combat and controls prevent it from being a must play.

#BLUD from developer Exit 73 Studios is a gorgeous game that contains a familiar and goofy 80s/90s horror movie narrative theme but falls short in handing the gameplay control completely over to the player. The boss fights and selfie moments do make up for some of its shortfalls and also help to keep #BLUD more entertaining than not.
