How it feels

A frenetic, retro-styled first-person action roguelike where you blast through endless waves of undead foes, upgrade skills and weapons, and struggle to survive the night with persistent meta-progression.

What players say

Players describe Bloodshed as a mix of Vampire Survivors and classic shooters like Doom and Quake. The core loop is fun briefly but quickly becomes repetitive, and the meta-progression is grindy with expensive upgrades. Weapon RNG can be frustrating, and the campaign is short with no updates for over a year, leaving many feeling development has stalled.
