Bleeding Deities

Playing Bleeding Deities was a really fun and refreshing experience. I especially loved that it’s inspired by the Mayan culture, something you rarely see in games. The environments, symbols, and characters are full of rich details that give the game a unique identity. Definitely an indie gem worth checking out!

Wow.. Fun game. BIG Thanks to the devs.

Can not recommend this, controls are bad, and for a Metroidvania it is very linear. As a game it is not too bad but, it has a lot of issues, Got softlocked once and had to restart due stuck in the starting area after wanting to explore if there was more to it, lever not worked so doors stayed close, after dying the door backwards was also close, so stuck. At the end of the game also after the credits the game crashed and not responded, and it deleted my save file somehow due that as well. Als the last area no way of returning makes all the XP and Gold useless at the end. Can't fully upgrade and you are kinda forced in endgame as well after deafeating the first 4 main bosses, since it destorys the teleporter you use to get back to the other areas, locking them out.

Todavía no lo termino pero es muy adictivo, sobretodo cuando no puedo pasarme algún nivel o desafío, me hace querer seguir jugando hasta pasármelo. También creo que cada nivel no es excesivamente largo como otros casos que sí lo son. El arte también se me hace muy muy detallado y atinado a la temática del juego. Para ser un juego independiente, tiene mucho trabajo por detrás. 😊

Wonderful game!! The mexican culture is very well represented and it totally feels like if you were living those violent and horrifying moments… highly recommended

I cannot recommend this: - Literally no effort made with preventing unity stutter or optimizing the game - stupid and annoying death animation for human enemies - Way too much exposition (at least it can be skipped though) - instant kill spikes everywhere

I ran into issues from the beginning, with it being difficult and inconsistent with skipping cutscenes or dialogue. Audio swapped between too quiet to hear (thankfully there was text/subtitles) and the music/sfx being incredibly loud. The camera moved a considerable amount, often swaying after players and rushing across the stage to whichever door had been opened which was a little nauseous. The cutscenes were long and in some gameplay sections unskipable, and gameplay had little indication of what was a checkpoint. Sometimes I'd almost finish a section only to be met with one of the many times the controls decide to disagree with my input and kill me in an insta-death pit (annoying in Blasphemous and annoying here too), only to drop me off arbitrarily at the beginning of the level. mid-bosses had little fanfare and since there is no indication of how you are supposed to heal or open up inventory in the tutorial I rammed my head against it. When I went to check for some way to use those herbal infusions I kept picking up I suddenly found that I could only exit the game, removing all my progress on the level and making me redo the mid-boss. On top of that, the controls are bound between the left and right side of the keyboard in positions that feel incredibly frustrating and gives joint fatigue even after a few minutes of continuous playing. I tried out a few of the worlds/tribes/whatnot and defeated a couple of mid-bosses, but consistently the timed trials irked me. Strange amounts of knockback, jump angles, enemy placement, and the ever-present spiky death floors made it an exercise in frustration. I have other metroidvanias that feel better and play better and I'd rather go back to those instead. Congrats on releasing a game, dev team, but it really didn't jive with me.

The story is gripping, weaving ancient lore with emotional depth, making each encounter feel meaningful. The gameplay and controls are solid, with fluid and intense, and has a great art style. Every boss fight is both satisfying and challenging. I had a great time playing this game. A must-play for fans of challenging action games with a strong narrative.

I really enjoyed the gameplay—it’s super fun, and I loved how the game dynamics keep changing, that was a standout feature for me. The combat felt challenging, and the time trial challenges had me glued to the keyboard for quite a while. I’ve had a great time playing this game. Absolutely loved it!

I haven’t finished it yet, but it has a great storytelling. It shows deep respect for mesoamerican cultures and the use of native language adds a layer of authenticity to the experience. It gives the world a soul that feels real and meaningful. The combat is tight and rewarding, especially with mechanics like counterattacking and the strategic use of the boomerang. Bleeding Deities deserves to be played and appreciated.
