Bloody Paws Unleashed

A much better game than the developer's first attempt. It remakes an obscure and pretty lame Spanish ZX Spectrum game (any videos I found have it completed in less than 10 minutes) whose only memorable element is the opening picture of a bird-flipping werewolf*. But it does what a good remake does: every detail of the original seems to have been carefully studied to update it for the better. It's not the cleanest pixel art around but it's a great update of the original graphics (some sprites seem to actually be the original ones edited), like an Amiga version that never was. A little detail I like is how Bloody folds his ears when crouching. The little story the game has is conveyed through pretty good comic-style illustrations in place of the scant text of the original. By the way, to my surprise even the plot has been kept the same, ending included! There's a reason all bosses except the final one are statues brought to life: they simply are statues originally, background elements that stand out more than others. That alone says a lot about how much the stages have been expanded. A lot of standing scenery objects (poles, trees) can even be knocked down onto enemies. About those, what about the mummies doing rope-skipping with their own bandages? So funny. They are among the enemies that fall with a single hit and cause damage on simple contact; a few other enemies that require several hits can hurt the player only when launching their attacks, thankfully. Despite being a werewolf, the protagonist is not very agile and the controls are quite stiff; that, and some quirks like the inability to cancel an attack animation to jump, are, in my opinion, the biggest enemies in the game. It doesn't lend itself much to platforming, which becomes very annoying at the end of the third level, which lacks a boss in favor of a series of jumps between moving cars. I don't know if it's limitations of OpenBOR or lack of one last useful layer of polish. After some adaptation, however, it becomes part of the game's charm: it's not a "modern" experience and doesn't want to be, it requires a careful approach to each obstacle and enemy to come out on top. If two power-ups are collected without being hit, Bloody acquires both a long-range attack and a double jump: this means a skilled player is rewarded with the means to make things easier (I've seen videos where that end of the third level becomes a cakewalk with full power). Even with all the expansion from the original, it's far from a long game, nor does it need to be one. The Classic mode gives an approximation of the original [b]Bloody Paws[/b]; stripped of all the improvements, it feels as lame as it should be, but serves to highlight how much of a better game [b]Unleashed[/b] is. Recommended when discounted. [*That picture appears in the ending credits but is deprived of the bird flip. Strange censorship.]

Foda! Bem simples, gameplay fácil de aprender e divertida, o jogo é muito bom, te recomendo!

Divertidinho

Ein sehr guter Sidescrolling-Brawler. Viel Action, Gegner kloppen und werfen, Power Ups und Bosskämpfe sorgen für Abwechslung. Merso-typisch hat es ein sehr tightes Gameplay, dass super von der Hand geht. Starkes Remake!

O jogo é bem divertido, gosto bastante da arte e da trilha sonora. Só os controles que parecem travar algumas vezes durante a jogatina, o que dá raiva, mas mesmo assim gostei demais, eu recomendo.

неплохо

Mais do que um remake, Bloody Paws Unleashed é uma verdadeira reinterpretação criativa de um obscuro beat'em up espanhol dos anos 90. Com a bênção do criador original, Merso transformou um jogo que hoje seria visto como muito antiquado em mais um dos seus clássicos do OpenBOR. Ele até se dispõe a criar um modo clássico que se aproxima do original num sinal de respeito a memória desse jogo tão pouco conhecido. As melhorias na jogabilidade são significativas: agora o protagonista lobisomem tem combos, ataques especiais e power ups que adicionam variedade e estratégia. A estrutura das fases também foi repensada, introduzindo chefões e desafios pontuais que elevam a experiência de jogo. Ainda que mantenha a simplicidade dos beat'em ups antigos, Bloody Paws Unleashed mostra um Merso mais maduro, capaz de revisitar um clássico com sensibilidade, sem depender apenas da nostalgia.

No conocía la versión de Spectrum, pero lo vi en una recomendación y la verdad está entretenido para pasar unos ratos. Te pica lo suficiente como para que quieras llegar al final. La música muy buena. Tiene una curva de aprendizaje correcta, puede parecer que se va complicando, pero con un poco de paciencia lo consigues. Buen trabajo del desarrollador.

I love this game!
