Blood Feed

[h1] Бойня за ачивки [/h1] Если тебе хочется просто включить что-то на фоне и бездумно палить во всё, что движется, — Blood Feed это умеет. В остальном же это классическая мясорубка: заходишь на уровень, мочишь орды одинаковых монстров, в конце появляется монстр побольше — убиваешь его, переходишь на следующий уровень. И так по кругу. Минимум разнообразия. Графика, скажем прямо, оставляет желать лучшего. Всё выглядит дёшево, Unity-заготовки намешаны с мрачноватыми цветами — атмосфера вроде бы пытается быть злой, но получается скорее бюджетной. Дизайн уровней тоже не блещет. Но есть один жирный плюс, ради которого эту игру вообще можно рассматривать: куча лёгких ачивок. Они сыплются буквально за каждое действие — за убийство, за прохождение уровня, за использование оружия. Если тебе нужно быстро поднять уровень профиля или пополнить коллекцию достижений — это идеальный кандидат. По сути, Blood Feed — это хаотичный эксперимент, который работает только если заходить в него с правильным настроем: ничего не ждать и просто получать свои галочки. Для серьёзного времяпрепровождения не годится, но как «плюс один» в библиотеку и фармилка ачивок — вполне. Оценка: 2/10.

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] Blood Feed is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store assets, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.[/quote] Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. In this case, the asset flipper stole a bunch of random creature assets (one example is the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/fantasy-basilisk-23563]Fantasy Basilisk[/url] from Protofactor Inc is one example of the stolen/plagiarised creature assets). The assets were unceremoniously dumped on empty maps in the [url=https://unityassetcollection.com/advanced-shooter-kit-free-download/]Advanced Shooter Kit for Unity[/url] which was developed by real developer, Victor K. So you can see this is just another case of a shady developer trying to scam you out of YOUR money for someone else's game assets. This asset flip is garbage, another cash grab from known plagiarists and asset flip scammers, and has no value or merit as a real game. ANPA.US/Racing Bros have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/886590]My Bingo[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/brilliant-bingo-kit-36436]Brilliant Bingo Kit[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/828890]My Golf[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/mini-golf-ball-game-kit-216223]Mini Golf Ball Game Kit[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/854810]Simple Sailing[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/sailing-regatta-102922]Sailing Regatta[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/809180]District 112 Incident: Bowling Alley[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/stater-kit-1-8337]Starter Kit #1 Bowling Kit[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/832680]Darts and Friends[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/stater-kit-1-8337]Starter Kit #1 Darts Kit[/url] [/list] Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game assets, such as they are, are much higher than the general quality of the game and it seems apparent the developer has just plagiarised/kitbashed them. Stock assets are just there to be used as placeholders while the developer creates their own assets for their games, but what happens far more often is lazy/unethical developers just throw a bunch of other peoples assets into a blender and put their own name on the horrible Frankenstein's Monster that results. Like this mess. These flaws make this game fall far short of the professional standards we expect from a modern PC game. One of the driving elements of this shovelware game is "achievement spam", that is to say the game features a ridiculously large number of trivial/automatically granted achievements, 2995 of them, in fact. It's a damning indictment for this shovelware that people only bought it for easy achievements, and not because it has any serious merit as a real game. It's also important to note the "developer" here has connections to a number of shady Russian asset flippers and review manipulators who show an organised pattern to scam and defraud gamers with fake reviews and asset flipping the work of others for profit. While reviews are about the games, gamers should be informed when developers act unethically. Whether these connections are the same developer using multiple accounts, or just working closely with other unethical developers, gamers should be warned about the harm to gamers by this developer and their associates. Buying games from unethical developers puts your money at risk.

They're all written in either Russian, broken English or ChatGPT AI slop, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. Due to the 2024 FTC ruling (16 CFR § 465.4, 15 U.S.C. § 45), these fake reviews are a violation of US Federal Law.[/quote] This kind of asset flipping isn't harmless. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made games from ethical developers. It makes it harder for genuine indie developers, who put hard work into trying to make real games, to find an audience for their products. It gives indie developers a bad name. On to pricing and the question of value. Should you buy this asset flip? Is this one of the best of the 175,000+ products on Steam? Absolutely not. Blood Feed is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Remember that if you buy a game from an unethical developer, you're putting your money at risk. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. Because this is just a fake game/cash grab scam, and due to the sheer unethical nature of the developer, you should avoid this completely. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Racing Bros.
