    This is kind of a bad game. Bad mechanics, controls bad, and crashes constantly. It also feels really unfair a lot of the time, with horribly designed levels. Not scary, just annoying.

    Potentially the worst game I've tried on Switch. The other games distributed by Baltoro are nice though.

    As much as I enjoy the usage of tank controls, forced perspective, and basic graphics in a horror game this game doesn't actually utilize any of these aspects as a part of a narrative. The game seems to be using nostalgia as a means to sell the game (having a VHS filter option, having PS1-esque graphics, and utilizing horror music tropes that were created around that time), but thatAs much as I enjoy the usage of tank controls, forced perspective, and basic graphics in a horror game this game doesn't actually utilize any of these aspects as a part of a narrative. The game seems to be using nostalgia as a means to sell the game (having a VHS filter option, having PS1-esque graphics, and utilizing horror music tropes that were created around that time), but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is honestly a very poorly made and bare bones game that doesn't provide more than an hour or two of gameplay if you don't know exactly where to go. I could see somebody beating this in a half hour easily if you knew where to go and I can guarantee that the game probably has exploits that would allow for speed running. The writing is inconsequential, the music is either really bland or out of place, and there is no effort put into the lore of this area that makes me want to play the game for a second time in the case that I missed something. It's very linear and the story makes no sense.

    Most of the difficulty of the game comes from trial and error and when there is combat in the game you can literally just crouch to avoid getting hit most of the time. For enemies that you can't do that with, you just have to run, and you may as well just drop down.

    Look, I like these sorts of visuals in games, I like the 90s retro look. Chilla's Art does a much better job with what they have through outstanding sound design and actually making the game kind of creepy, utilizing actual horror techniques beyond making a big scary guy. If you want that sort of aesthetic I'd point you to their games. This one definitely isn't worth the $8 you'll pay for it at full price.    … Expand

    Someone tried to combine Alien Isolation and Silent Hill but only had a day to do it. The devs slapped a kitchy filter over the screen, called it retro, and thought we wouldn't notice. Do yourself a favour, rather than buy Paratopic's offspring just go for the original.

    Blood breed is the absolute worst game I have ever played. It feels like the game as a whole took 30 minutes to code and maybe 2 hours maximum for graphics and level design. There is no save file system and when you start the game it automatically puts your select box onto new game instead of continue and because of that, you could really easily lose your save and have to restart the wholeBlood breed is the absolute worst game I have ever played.

Plus sprinting is super clunky and weird to use with the low fps the game has.… Expand

    Just about the only way Blood Breed might appeal to you is if you, too, have nostalgia for the early days of PS1 horror games — but if you do, you’re probably much better served playing the Resident Evil remakes than you are playing junk like this. For that matter, I suspect that if you were to go back and play some of those classics from that games, they’d still be better than Blood Breed. Really, just about anything is better than this.
