  I played and completed this game in the late 90s. This is the best of the 90's build engine games. Yes, even better than Duke Nukem 3D. Excellent atmosphere, spooky music, cool weapons, nice enemies, and good gameplay. A must buy if you're interested in old school shooters.

  Some people enjoyed Duke Nukem 3D, some people were crazy about Doom, some other spent their time in Quake. I played Blood and stabbed my enemies with a Pitchfork. I ate their bleeding hearts to replenish health. I visited Dark Carnival and enjoyed every bloody attraction. I kicked Zombie's decapitated heads,'cause it's fun. And I rised from the grave. 10/10 would dig myself out again.

  Blood is a cult (literally) classic old-school FPS created by Monolith Software around the Doom / Duke3D era. It features fantastic graphics from the era, multiple (and sometimes comedic) references to music, poetry, books, movies, and even other videogames, a plethora of fun and unique weapons each with two different attacks (except the pitchfork), a strong line up of memorable levels like the Carnival and the Hedgemaze spanning 5 chapters, engaging and exciting enemies, and great midi music with modern (2004) remakes of each. For old-school FPS gamers who remember playing this back in 1998, this is a warm welcome. Unfortunately, Blood has to run through DOSBox. Don't let this dissuade you, it works fantastically, but there are a number of .cfg tweaks to get it to run completely properly. My two biggest and only gripes I have involve the music. 1. From the untweaked version, the default music is the (in my opinion) inferior 2004 remakes of the original midi music. ----1a. This is easily fixed by deleting the blood0#.ogg files in the main folder. This fix reverts the music back to the original midis. 2. The music's volume cannot be lowered or turned off through BLOOD.CFG or the ingame options menu. Now if you enjoy the music, this shouldn't be a problem, but if you want your game to be a bit more quiet, you'd have to adjust the volume in Windows Volume control and raise the Sound Effects volume in game. Blood has been one of my favorite old-school FPSes for a very long time and I'm glad to see it and it's sequel finally land on Steam. While a couple of tweaks and fixes are neccessary, they should not sway your purchase negatively. Blood still runs flawlessly and contains hours and hours of fun. Now we just wait for Redneck Rampage to be added to Steam. 10/10

  Blood is a classic, nothing else needs to be said about that. You loved it for good reason back in 1998. The religious horror setting really helped it to stand out among Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior, two other games developed in the same engine. It was obvious that with the porting of Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior that retro FPS fans would be excited for a port of Blood. However, this is not a good port, it is just a lazy dosbox emulation. The game doesn't even let you play all of it's episodes that it comes with until you edit configuration files. You also have to edit and mod just to get mouse look to work, to get the game to not suffer performance issues, to restore the music to its original format and prevent t from bugging out and looping, to get the Steam overlay to work, among other things. The worst part is that nobody can get the rights from Monolith to do anything with this property ever since they were bought out and gutted from the inside by Warner Bros, so we will probably never get an enhanced port that offers the basic modern features we have adjusted to, or at least one that doesn't have problems out the gate. I have spent several hours just trying to get this game set up the way I want and it won't work out for me, I'm done trying. You shouldn't have to put in hours of work just to get a game to run the way you want it. It's like I took five dollars and burned it because I wanted to experience Blood again. Don't do what I or anyone else did, you might as well pirate the game and dump it into an emulator/engine that will actually let do what you want with ease. The pain and effort to get to play this game might technically be worth it, but there is simply not enough that you can do to make this playable. And honestly, does anybody look back at the days of using your mouse to move and the arrow keys to turn fondly?

  A gem from the original Doom, Duke Nukem and Heretic era (so expect old school play here) As I played through the first episode, I remembered everything I loved about the game. The use of alternate fire modes which was pretty much unheard of in it's day, a few weapon types that are comletely unique to the game, set to a protaganist who's dark humour makes you smile while feeling oddly disturbed at the same time. The game is hard - as I said, we're talking old school here. The game doesn't hand hold you one bit. But if you can figure the weapons out along with their alternate fires, the gameplay is very satisfying. And finally, the 8 bit music. Hard to believe, but this stuff is actually pretty good. They hit that sweet spot where it sets the mood nicely and at times is deeply disturbing. Rarely repetive or annoying. It's a steal at 5 bucks.

  [b]Blood[/b] is a masterpiece of a game. But this is just a lazy [b]DOSBOX[/b] emulation. Not to even mention the fact that [b]Atari[/b] has the source code and they are just to lazy to release it and allow the community to make proper ports. The game's soundtrack is also bugged and will not even play certain tracks. Controls are annoying to set up. The game also runs sluggish on modern sytems. To put the icing on the cake, to access the expansion pack content (Cryptic Passage), you must create a shortcut for it in the file folder! I recommend this game like all hell, but not the Steam version. If only they could've took the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/cilliswillis/recommended/225140/]Duke Nukem 3D[/url] or [b]Shadow Warrior[/b] route, those are proper ports. The GoG version is digitally packed better (shortcuts), but suffers some of the same issues. [h1]5/5 - OG game.[/h1] 1/5 - Lazy DOS Emulation. [b]Note:[/b] Check out this launcher that will allow you to play Cryptic Passage and more! (Scroll down for English.) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=287113746

  Shoot axe weilding maniacs with a flare gun then play soccer with their heads. Playing this at 13 turned me into a psychopath for life. 666/10

  Nearly two decades after release, and Blood still remains perhaps the finest game Monolith Productions bestowed upon undeserving mankind - and, considering they produced many a fantastic and unique first person game, several of them being among my personal favourites - that is definitely telling something. Blood is a darkly humorous and often morbid, long and, even by 90s FPS standards, challenging journey. You'll fight your way through huge, thematically and visually extremely varied, highly atmospheric and intricately designed levels filled with references to (or sometimes directly based on) famous pieces of horror cinema and literature. Large arsenal of weapons is on player's disposal, ranging from your standard FPS pieces like shotgun and machine gun, to a pretty creative stuff like a can of hairspray used in conjunction with a lighter that turns your unfortunate enemies into pretty flames, to a voodoo doll and several different types of dynamite. Every single weapon is insanely fun and satisfying to use, in a way that is rarely seen today. This game is simply a must play for any at least semi-serious FPS fan. Blood's best qualities were untouched by time, and it is sure to satisfy anyone who likes a fun and challenging FPS. Blood is also a perfect example of that sheer creativity and quality of game design that is sadly all but gone from modern FPS games.

  Blood is one hell of a great classic FPS game! Sadly, I did not play this until later on in my life, but still, this game rocks! I would have loved this game when I was a kid. This game mixes horror films and FPS greatness into one blended mixture of awesomeness. Please, do not judge this game on graphics, this is one hell of a fun game to play. The weapons are very creative! Instead of the traditional pistol you get with countless other shooters, it is replaced with a flare gun which you can satifyingly burn enemies with. Watching your foes run around screaming as their flesh melts off, priceless. That is only one of the kick ass weapons this game offers in it's large arsenal. This game also has alternative fire modes for each gun too making awesome weapons that much more brutal and satisfying. The MIDI soundtrack has some of the greatest tracks I have heard in a game. There is a non-MIDI CD soundtrack, I believe it is enabled by default, but I prefer the MIDI tracks. I find the CD soundtrack too slow and eventful to listen to while you are gunning down zombies and cultists. You can disable the CD tracks by removing the MP3 files (or WAV files, I can't remember) from the game's root directory. The level design is awesome. My favorite level is the haunted hotel level in Episode 2. It takes inspiration from The Shining as you can find Jack Nicholson's frozen body in a hedge maze. Also, you can find the infamous tub where that disgusting old hag was in. Not sure if that was a pro or con, but it is in the game. Not only does this level have references, but there are other references to other horror films found in other levels like Nightmare on Elm's Street, Friday the 13th, and the list goes on. Don't pass this game up, play it! NOW!
