CROSSBOW: Bloodnight

На те, щоб пройти арену, яка триває 5 хвилин, у мене пішло 3,5 години. Думав, буде ще щось прикольне, але, на жаль, це вся гра: одна локація, і потрібно просто протриматись 5 хвилин до боса. Контенту дуже мало, але гра мені сподобалася — було складно і весело, так, як я люблю.

I got this bundled with Blood West (a very good game), but I'm not sure I get this one. The crossbow weapon spits out continuous streams of bolts and you basically just run around trying not to get hit, because you die in one hit. That's pretty much the game. I just don't really get it.

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Аренный шутер. 2 карты, 1 оружие... Волны начинаются всегда одинаково и нет никакого рандома. Чем дольше выживаешь, тем больше врагов... Умираем мы с одного тычка... Ну такое себе... Слишком хардкорно для меня и мало контента (скорее мало возможностей его увидеть). Не рекомендую.

Firing pattern is random Enemies have broken and unreliable hitboxes, they can one-shot you after you have killed them Enemies can spawn right behind you and you will not know because they lack sound barks Enemies can creep on you and you will not know because they don't emit any sound to identify their position Enemy attacks don't emit any sound, making it impossible to predict or dodge their attacks Firing explosive bolts is awkward, you have to hold FIRE2 for a few seconds, then press FIRE1 The hitbox of the explosive bolt is not reliable, sometimes you can one-shot one of the bulbs, sometimes it doesn't register even though you hit it directly in the eye of the bulb The health meter is a blood texture on the screen, it is not a reliable way to see how much health you have The special ability doesn't kill enemies behind you Damage feels random, sometimes you die to a weak enemy, sometimes you survive an attack from a stronger enemy, it is not predictable There is no sound or visual hint to inform you when the dash is available The game starts lagging every time you use the special ability to destroy 30+ enemies at the same time, you have to alt-tab to fix it The player character is fat, the character hitbox is not aligned with the 125 FOV, you think you will be able to dodge an incoming attack, but you will get hit and die because the FOV and hitbox are not synchronized Bolt pattern is random It is a badly designed arcade shooter, not worth the time or the price.

Games are our favorite way of ritualizing the absurd: we arm ourselves with something ridiculous, step into the arena, and dance with death for high scores while pretending it reveals something about the soul. Crossbow: Bloodnight gets the ritual dead right. It’s a frantic score-attack arena shooter that feels like Devil Daggers reimagined through a 17th-century gothic fever dream—only instead of a dagger you’re wielding an unholy automatic crossbow that spits bolts, bursts, and explosive hellfire while you dash through hordes of demonic filth in cursed London streets. You load in, the music kicks like a possessed church organ, and suddenly the screen is alive with writhing monsters, cultists, and things that used to be human. The crossbow feels weighty and satisfying—switching firing modes on the fly turns every run into a desperate symphony of precision and panic. Dash at the perfect moment and you weave through bullet-hell patterns like a blasphemous ballet dancer. Survive long enough and the power fantasy peaks; then one cheeky imp or a mistimed reload sends you screaming back to the menu with a new personal best and a bruised ego. That’s the dark comedy baked in: you’re this immortal guardian of the Coven, yet you die over and over to the same grotesque slapstick because hubris always finds a way. The atmosphere drips with camp horror glory—gore-soaked cobblestones, grotesque enemy designs, and that perfect low-fi tension that makes every second feel earned. It’s easy to learn, brutally hard to master, and shamelessly addictive in short, vicious bursts. You’ll swear you’re only jumping in for one run, then suddenly it’s forty-five minutes later and you’re still chasing that elusive new high score while the real world quietly rots outside the screen. There’s real philosophical meat under the blood and bolts. Every death is a miniature memento mori: you build momentum, flirt with godhood, then get humbled by the horde because no matter how good you get, the night always wins eventually. The repetition isn’t a flaw—it’s the point. Life is the same loop dressed in better lighting. Crossbow: Bloodnight never pretends to be a grand epic. It’s a pure, irreverent arcade sacrament: load, shoot, die gloriously, laugh, and reload with fresh purpose. In a medium bloated with ten-hour tutorials and endless progression trees, this little gothic gem reminds us that sometimes the highest art is simply stepping into the arena, crossbow raised, and daring the darkness to do its worst. 10/10 would get devoured by demons again tomorrow. Just one more run.

2maps that are same but different background and gameplay hella repetitive ,not much to do but jump in circles and shot
