#Blud is a great looking game that follows a classic cartoon artstyle similar to ones made by Cartoon Network in the late 90s and early 2000s. There are some great things and also some bad things and I'll review and give my thoughts so you can decide if this game scratches that nostalgic itch.

Maaan it's funny because I played through most of this game and felt "man it feels like this game was made by a talented animation team with no game design experience"

10-12 hours. BETTER THAN MOST VIDEO GAMES THESE DAYS THAT TRY TO CRAM THE GAMES TO ABSURB LENGTHS! I honestly think we NEED more games that you can finish at such a length. Instead of the 1000+ hour nightmares or the like. Give us games that are short, that means everything in there holds meaning. The problem is when the creators are forced to compromise their vision and it DAMAGES the game.

Cookie Cutter and Clash: Artifacts of Chaos are both very, very solid games with awesome art direction around that playtime. Can warmly recommend them both. Cookie Cutter is, like Blud, hand-drawn 2D animated and a more combat-heavy Metroidvania. Though the lead dev also has a story he very much wants to tell and was *very* adamant to find a publisher that wouldn't interfere in the vision. (went over a hundred publisher interviews before he found the one.) As is, the game has ended on a cliffhanger due to budget-- but support so far has been good. Recently there was confirmation that the devs keep work going. There are big updates in the works with new story beats, weapons, bosses, areas, characters etc. which can extend the playtime. Keep an eye out on the upcoming Genokids. Hack-and-Slash/character action type game which I believe is said to be around... six, perhaps seven hours for a normal playthrough, but the devs go all in on the combat. Would want to mention Soulstice as well. Same genre, came out 2022, has some rough spots and one of them has been that either the beginning or the middle dragged on for certain people. But it's got production values like Darksiders, with a *lot* of love for both the story and characters, and a big amount of depth in the combat. Character Action games are sometimes described as that the first full playthrough is the tutorial, and I don't disagree in Soulstice's case. But that's not a bad thing. Means you can get more gameplay out of a single game if i *want* to after experiencing the story once. There's so many games to look forward to that are worth spreading the word on. And that does include Blud, despite all its shortcomings.

nah, I sadly have to agree with the dodge mechanics problem, though it wasn't enough to ruin the game for me. As a fan of classic cartoon network cartoons, I freakin love the game. This doubled by me being a fan of john carpenters the thing, which this game clearly toke at least some inspiration from, like some of the crotesque boss transformations, the town littereally named Carpenter vile and becky having littereally a poster of the movie in her room XD Also even with the flawed dodged mechaincs, this game has some of the best and most fun boss fights I had in a long while, in terms of mechanics and representation

The bosses are fantastic and I didn’t catch the John Carpenter reference that’s pretty cool!

@MegabombGamer-rb5kh 2 сағат бұрын

one thing I'd like to add that put me off from 100% completing the game is the amount of permanently missable content in the game. Enemies that only appear during certain chapters, so you have limited chances to take selfies with them (which does count towards completion) which is disheartening because they clearly put effort into unique animations for each enemy. There's also a few heart pieces that are located in chapter-specific areas that can't be returned to after those chapters are completed, which is also disheartening because the environmental puzzles are pretty clever. And there's no chapter select or new game plus to counteract this, either. It's egregious because they have a "Point of No Return" prompt before the final dungeon, except that by the time you've reached it there's already stuff that can't be completed. They clearly had some clever ideas, such as the shovel being mostly utility but being able to dig up the underground vampires, but there are also some underused mechanics, like you mentioned with the dodge roll, but also the uppercut attack which is never actually required, as far as I know.

In resume what is bad in your opinion about the game?

@s.m.2523 7 күн бұрын

In sumary: He finds the pacing of the story a bit jarring at time, could be a little bit longer and devellop some aspects more. The UI can be confusing and make it hard to track quests. The combat has an unconsistant feel to it. The range of move on the main character is pretty limited can make combat a bit repetitive sometime. The dodge mecanic has no invicibility frame which make it easy to send yourself into the big bosses hitbox or an enemey, which can be frustrating and make it feel a bit off. He wishes either there were i frames or that more enemies telegraphed their attack better.
