    This game is a must play for indie game fans! The art style is simple but intriguing, the action is quite addicting and the humor is great. I've been playing it as my ''default'' game for quite awhile now. I paid only ten dollars for it and have gotten hours upon hours of entertainment from it. Just in terms of value to me, it outpaced many ''top tier'' games and continues to do so. TheThis game is a must play for indie game fans!

The game isn't dead even now, to guys over at SAKARI INDIE are developing 'MULTI MASSACRE'' which is a multiplayer component to this game and to my knowledge will be even better than the base game itself. Given the current value of the game, the new stuff they are bringing out, the quality of the current release and the dedication of the guys who built it, I have to give this a 10. Do yourself a favor and check it out!… Expand

    This looked fun and was only £2 on steam. Nice little shooter. Took me about 4-5 hours to complete almost all achievements, all maps and get all weapons. Good for the money and I can see myself having the odd blast now and then especially if this gets more add-ons

    Honestly, the game is worth five dollars, and the free DLC promised will hopefully make the naysayers happy.

    Take no note of the rating- an update has come out which basically multiplies the content by 10! It adds 7 levels, Multiplayer, 4 or 5 new game modes, character customization, graphical upgrades and modified gore! With the update, this game has become one of the best bargain ever for gamers. In short: it kicks ass!

    My vote for this game is 4.5, and because I feel generous. It's original, but it's only singleplayer and pretty much lacks replayability. The main objective is to shoot at everything that moves, and that gets boring really soon. If that wasn't enough, the translation isn't even decent. They've used an automatic translator for every language like if that was My vote for this game is 4.5, and because I feel generous.

    This game is really fun. But I does get kind of boring after you have played everything about twice. I will keep playing it if they add more stuff, but the $5 was well worth the two hours it killed. Hopefully, I will play it more if more is added.

    Initially fun shooter but way too short and the devs have totally ignored the game for over two years. Multiplayer was promised back in 2009 but never materialized. Could have been much more.

    A great game, amused me very hard! And unlike most other reviews, I have spend a total of 32 hours, and still didn't get bored! And that totally suprise level, Genius!... Nah, I'm not gonna tell it! You'll find it if you buy the game!

    Simple Indie game that does not offer much.

    Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood is a simple Indie shooter that is mediocre at best. You take control of some last standing army dude and take on waves of mindless AI rebel soldiers and chickens, yes chickens. You got a few game modes like escort a tourist bus (in a war zone), wend off waves of enemies and murder all the chickens on the    Simple Indie game that does not offer much.

    Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood is a simple Indie shooter that is mediocre at best. You take control of some last standing army dude and take on waves of mindless AI rebel soldiers and chickens, yes chickens.

    You got a few game modes like escort a tourist bus (in a war zone), wend off waves of enemies and murder all the chickens on the map. The game offers a ranking system in which you fill your buckets with the blood of your enemies to unlock new weapons, outfits, and accessories. In each mode, it is your goal to survive and fill as much buckets as possible. Depending how you kill your enemies, this process can go faster or slower. If you gib enemies for example, the meter goes up faster.

    The graphics are nothing special, it has flat cartoon style artwork and while that is fine, the terrible shaders, glitches and flickering makes the game hard to look at most of the times.

    Sound wise, Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood is a joke. The weapon fire, enemies and surroundings al sound very blend and lifeless. The fight tracks offer some fun while playing but get old fast.

    The controls are fine, but the gun play is terrible. There is no rule for hitting your target and I felt that most hits were pure luck based. To top it off, the enemy AI is so incredibly stupid, it feels even more lifeless than it already is. I know that this is a simple Indie game, but even then, when enemies just run toward you, right in your line of fire, it tells me that they are programmed to perform one task and one task only.

    Another issue I had with the game is how terrible slow it is. You run like two miles per hour and when hunting the chickens in a map for example, it is painfully, awfully stiff and slow.

    Speaking of the chickens, that is the most fun I had with this game. You get a map full of those feathered bastards and just murder the living hell out of them. It was kind of satisfying in an odd way.

    Also, besides the fact that the AI has less brain cells then my dog, the game can still be challenging on higher difficulties, giving you some challenge overall.

    The main reason to play this game is the achievements. They add some purpose to the game and let you play the game for longer then 15 minutes. I know for sure that I would not have finished it if it did not have them.

    In conclusion, Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood does not have a reason to exist, yet it does, it is not the worst game ever or something, it is just blend, boring, repetitive and has nothing to offer then some quick achievements.    … Expand

    A very short game with a fairly original visual approach. Foreign Legion is a fun-ish third-person shooter but unfortunately lacks enough content to get you hooked.

    Although the game has its high points, I can't really condone a price tag on a game that just does not feel complete. This is especially true when there are free games on the Internet that offer a lot more.

    For being developed by four people and with a purchase price of around the same amount in dollars, Foreign Legion is a worthwhile investment for some mindless fun.
