Players praise the game's fast-paced, fluid movement and satisfying combat. [1][2][3] Some note it is challenging but rewarding, with high replayability. [4][5][6] A few reviewers feel the early access lacks content or has minor bugs. [7][8][9]

Blood Rush is almost there. Has great movement feel, and when you chunk an enemy you can really Feel it. This kind of movementy action game thrives on its "feel". The control you have over your character, and the response you feel from your damage, are spot on. However. If you have much experience with this type of game, you likely won't find it especially challenging. In the span of a 3hr session I got to "The End" …

Blood Rush is pure adrenaline for anyone into fast-paced FPS games. It's an indie gem! It’s seriously tough, but that’s what makes each win feel so satisfying, you really earn it. The movement is super smooth, with things like dashes, double slaps, and crush moves keeping fights fast and exciting. There’s a ton of spells and weapons to mess around with, and finding cool combos adds a nice layer of strategy. Thanks …

This game is amazing! Weapons feel great, combat flow is incredible, learning it is so rewarding! Highly recommend this game if you want a really a quality experience. I picked this up thinking it'd be another ULTRAKILL clone but honestly it kinda does its own thing enough to be unique in its own right but i will say if you like ultrakill or other titles that have technical combat and fast paced decision making i …

Nearing 60 hours into this game, over 150 runs deep, I have to say what Max has made here is simply wonderful. A great boom shoot, a tribute in a lot of ways to areana shooters like Serious Sam (imo), wonderful replayability even with the unfinished content, and so much more. When I bought this game on launch I hoped for something to carry me through a weekend. What I got is simply glorious. I honestly can't help …

Absolute banger of a game, with fantastic gun play and fluid mechanics. Sound design is great and the music is solid as well. If you're a fan of boomer shooters or fast paced games in general I would definitely check this game out as its more than worth the price of admission.

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't usually review games, but this one caught my eye while I was looking for a new rogue like to play. The game is challenging, taken me a few hours to get to the end (of the current run content) of a run and win, but there's a lot of cool synergies to play around with and I'm glad it took me a while. Graphics are simplistic but works, sometimes feels the enemies projectiles are a little spam crazy, but you can pull off some decent dodges and even parries which is pretty neat. Only thing…

neutral · AI labelView post →Why is this game so underrated? It's always the indie devs who make a good game that wasn't popular to a ultrakill-like thats freaking epic.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just released a new demo for Blood Rush, a fast paced ULTRAKILL and Hades inspired FPS. ♦ Fight hordes of monsters in Hell ♦ Drain miracles from relics ♦ Experiment with elemental synergies and combos Give our #SteamNextFest demo a try and wishlist the game !

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Blood Rush is a super dang solid FPS roguelite. I've played a lot of them before and this one has great gunplay, tight movement, a dope atmosphere, and an extremely solid foundation. I think the game is a bit light on content in terms of abilities and guns but it being the start of early access I'd rather have a solid foundation because more content and variety can always be added in future updates. So def something to keep your eyes on for fps roguelike fans and/or people who want a roguelikey…

positive · AI labelView post →Very very good game but sadly it's still in beta/alpha and I finished the game in an hour. I don't think it's worth the 15 bucks as the game does not feel as good as the Demo. What do I mean by that is the movements mechanics are feeling off and the shooting/aiming is not as consistent as it used to be (at least on my part). TLDR; If you want a fast pace game with upgrades and stuff it's a very good. Cons, the game is not done and it's a bit pricy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dang, usually I'm not one for the dodge the flying orbs and frenetic shooting , but this just scratched and itch. Great roguelike shooter.

neutral · AI labelView post →Super cool game, moving is extremely satisfying and the different mechanics and powers work extremely well together. It's also very replayable and doesnt really feel repetitive, despite essentially going through the same rooms over and over again. It just feels great to feel yourself get better and obliterate the bosses faster and faster each time

The music is amazing, the movement feels exactly like upgun's if you already had most of your movement upgrades. The game is challenging with one of the coolest contrasts between managing cooldowns and breakneck speeds. I cannot wait to see where Max takes this game and the others. -mobkiller PS you should add some cosmetics to upgun for people that buy…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its 3 AM and I screamed. Damn those spools. Great game! A mix of the rouge-like "power system" and progression of Hades mixed with ULTRAKILL's quick action and weapon switches. The developer was also quick with patching a bug I reported. Can't wait to play more :D

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excited to see where this game goes, already has legs to stand on whilst in EA. A feel good fast paced rogue like, movement where you can express yourself, a few weapons to choose from atm. Would like to see a time/high score ladder, more unlocks, more mechanics added in the future. Hope it finds an audience.
