Only had the time to quickly try it as of now, but I can tell this is a great little unique game. Fun music and great graphics + the concept is not something I've seen before. Will update the review with more thoughts as I play more of this! :)
As an avid DOSMan fan I will say I am blown away by Bloodmatch! Every mechanic in this game pushes the boundaries of what I thought previously possible in the engine. Each weapon having two attacks, interactable objects that have seemingly random loot, numerous challenges, combine all of that and Bloodmatch has an unprecedented amount of variety. Admittedly, the game is a bit short when compared to other titles linearly, but the variety and quality far surpass most, if not all, other EasyFPS games I've played. Well worth the $4, go ahead and buy the soundtrack too its insane.
Loved the atmosphere and the music. In a way, this is the first retro-fps Boss Rush game I've played. The game loop is simple yet effective: You're in the gladiator pits, you talk to NPCs, interact with items that may be beneficial at times then there's always a choice for the type of battle you want to do next. I will not spoil the types of battles that are present but there are a few. There are some interesting characters and there is one emotional moment with one of them that made me feel like a gladiator. As you progress, the gladiator pits get better and better and the variety of weapons you can get increases. Overall it is a great game for busy people that want to blast through this in a few hours and if the retro fps aspect mixed with Gladiators is your thing then you'll surely enjoy it. I did. :)
Excellent Arcade style gladiator fighting game. Very different from other DMG titles. Exceedingly cool and ambitious.
My f u c k i n leg! Ouch!
[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein First Person Hack & Slash/FPS Hybrid [h1] Story [/h1] Wir spielen einen Gladiator, der in der Arena für seinen Meister kämpfen muss, um seine Freiheit zurück zu gewinnen [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Es spielt sich wie ein Old School FPS, etwas ähnlich wie Hexen. Das Spiel ist in 2 Teile aufgeteilt. Die Arena & die Barracken. In den Barracken, können wir uns mit anderen Gladiatoren/Sklaven unterhalten um so etwas mehr über andere Charaktere/Kämpfer zu erfahren. Zudem können wir Behälter öffnen um so an Rüstung zu kommen, damit wir für den nächsten Kampf besser gerüstet sind. Dann geht es in die Arena. Wir können uns immer für eine Seite entscheiden, also im Prinzip gegen wenn oder was wir antreten wollen. Wir bekommen eine Waffe Random zugeteilt und kämpfen uns durch verschiedene Feinde wie Gladiatoren & Tiere durch. Gladiatoren lassen Waffen & manchmal auch Rüstung fallen, die wir dann auch aufnehmen können um sie für diesen Kampf zu benutzen. Es gibt auch 2 Fernkampf Waffen, Bogen & Steinschleuder die sich oft als sehr nützlich erweisen. Die Charaktere sind alle vertont, zwar keine Professionellen Voice Actor aber immerhin haucht es mehr Leben ins Spiel ein, was immer gut ist [h1] Achievement Schwierigkeit 2/10 [/h1] Es gibt insgesamt 21 Erfolge. Hierfür muss man das Spiel beenden, insgesamt 5 DOSMan Figuren einsammeln (diese droppen zufällig in Behältern), 20 mal den versteckten DOSMan finden und spezifische Gladiatoren & Tiere besiegen. Man kann nicht alle Feinde in einem Durchgang besiegen weil man sich ja immer nur für einen Kampf Entscheiden kann, also muss man das Spiel noch ein Zweites mal halb durchspielen aber das ist bei der kurzen Spielzeit ja kein Problem [h1] Pro/Contra [/h1] + Nette Retro Pixel Grafik + Nettes Gameplay + Cooles Unverbrauchtes Setting + Recht viele Waffen die man bekommen kann + Achievements [h1] Fazit [/h1] Für mich das bisher Beste Spiel von DOSMan Games. Mir hat sowohl das Setting als auch das Gameplay sehr gut gefallen. Ich hätte gerne mehr von dieser Art Gameplay oder Spielen generell. Ich kann es jedem Fan von Old School Shootern, besonders Heretic/Hexen sehr Empfehlen. Mir hat es sehr viel Spaß gemacht 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow third group [/url][/list]
"Tis but a scratch!" Had plenty of fun and good laughs playing this! Great art, soundtrack, and funny characters to meet! The level design is good, and there is nice replay value thanks to the branching fight choices each round. The gameplay can feel a bit kite-y at times, and Id love to see even more variation in enemy behavior in future updates. Other than that I highly recommend it :) . . . . Im glad Gus found a new friend!
Cool little game! Has a great art style and pushes this engine to new heights! Has branching paths so has good replay ability! Worth the £3!
I've been looking forward to this game, since good Gladiator-type games are kinda scarce. I was hoping it was going to be like "We Who Are About To Die" coated in some boomershooter aesthetics... I was wrong... it's a simple melee boomershooter. Loading times between arenas slow down the gameplay massively, no reason to loot around in your quarters, unless you want armor and the fights are mostly backpedaling and occasionally pressing the attack button. In it's current state I don't recommend it to anyone. Adding more mechanics would probably spice it up, but for the price tag, don't expect much. P.S.: Give Agrippa a working mic!!
