I had already played the demo so I was really hyped for this game. So far I've been having fun with the game mechanics, especially going for a build focused on counter. The artstyle is pretty cool and weird(?), in a good sense. I hate the bomb enemies, they are rock in my shoes, I haven't mastered the timing yet but I feel I'm close to doing it. Always remember to: Dodge, Slice and Shoot!

What a pleasant surprise this one turned out to be. Combines melee, shooting and a Spiderman movement mechanic with challenging, yet fair combat and meta progression. The combat is fast and fun, the controls are tight, and it's got some of the most unique skills and progression of any indie game I've seen in a while. Too many unique concepts to list and there really isn't anything I can compare it directly to. …

Even tough it is lacking a little bit in content right now, what is here feels absolutely satisfying to play. There are a lot of upgrades and a handful of weapons, the enemy types are a little bit lacking at the moment. There are two bosses and there are about 5 different monster, but once play a few runs, you can see different versions of those baddies. The roadmap for EA seems like they will just about double the …

Game is genuinely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing, it's Hades x Hyperlight Drifter, and despite my expectations, this combination works EXTREMELY well. Heavily recommend it, the price is criminally low, and the quality is scarily high. If you're unsure whether or not to get it, play the demo (and then buy the game) (I have more hours in the demo)

BloodRush is a game packed with action! It's a sensational game! You need to constantly be on the move, combining melee attacks, ranged shots, and lightning-fast dashes while facing waves of enemies coming from various locations. The frenetic gameplay in this game captivated me; highly recommended!

54 of 54 · most liked firstBloodRush: Undying Wish (not sure if it fits this genre, but there's a demo available). I've been debating whether I should post about this game. The cover image has a creepy dude with a cowboy hat and pistol but I'm not sure if the game is actually a Weird Western. The level design looks more like it takes place in the ruins of an ancient civilization. But, I've been neglecting this community too much so I wanted to post *something*. I guess they were right when they said this genre was…

positive · AI labelView post →I'm pretty much addicted to the expressiveness of the combat in this game, you have agency on how you start your playstyle, but the game constantly evolves both enemy and environmental hazards and your own combat options meaning you are constantly shifting your original playstyle to deal with everything. The art very well done and directed, nothing feels out of place. As for the story progression and overall flow, there is an overall direction for a run, but you also have a lot of agency on…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →R5 W vs Kayo: my opponent threw the whole fridge in front of turn 1 Bonds and followed it up with three consecutive Bloodrush turns, cashing in armor aggressively - I spent the majority of the game blocking my ass off and got there via fatigue and some late-game combo turns.
neutral · AI labelView post →#armoryrecap from 1-2 to 2-1 on Rhinar! Flexed the Savage Cash, too! R1 🧌: High-rolled a poor Verdance. 3 BRBs in 4 turns. R2 🧌: Rolled Scabs 3x against Kassai: 6/3/4. Intimidates were in my favour (forced bad blocks) R3 💀: The Levia from last week. Much closer game, found 0 Bloodrush though.

neutral · AI labelView post →Jumping into BloodRush: Undying Wish for a couple of hours, I found a solid indie action experience brimming with potential. The core appeal is undeniable: incredibly dynamic combat that keeps you constantly moving and attacking, paired with a distinctive and appealing visual style that sets the mood perfectly. The game's central hook – health constantly draining, forcing aggression – is interesting, though in practice, the sheer intensity and number of enemies felt like the primary driver of…

Movement is through dash and string (like a grappling hook). Your weapons include a blade and gun. If bullets are gone, you can replenish by killing enemies. Different talents to try out on enemies that involve gaining blood or more aggresive builds. Pros: - Nice pixel art that shows a gothic underworld. - Difficulty is balanced and can be adjusted.

neutral · AI labelView post →BloodRush: Undying Wish is a fast and uncompromising action roguelike that turns aggression into a survival mechanic. Developed by Lightmancer Studios and published by Nuntius Games and Vsoo Games, it presents a grim gothic world where Death has vanished and immortality has become a disturbing curse. Instead of portraying eternal life as something desirable, the game explores what happens when the natural boundary between life and death is removed. This premise gives the setting a surprisingly…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the combat, the art, and the music. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do at this point. It seems like it's so early access that there's only two bosses and I don't even care. It's super addictive and I would highly recommend if you want a hack and slash with just the right amount of story and dialogue and enough thought into the combat style that it keeps it interesting while still allowing you to turn off your brain.

The game was Profane Salvation, and you played as fallen angle blasting their way out of hell. It was the first game I'd made that really clicked, and is what led Josh and I to form BloodRush (4/?)
neutral · AI labelView post →I was wearing my EDHREC shirt, which I sometimes do on Commander nights, & was playing my Tuya Bearclaw aggressive Bloodrush deck. The deck had petered out, & the control player had set up. I passed the turn without attacking for the first time in the game, which is when the player said it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I wasn't saying ban Bloodrush. I was saying it is an example of something they didn't ban "just to shake up how people play". It speaks to what can be expected going forward where their careless design ethos can cause someone to get into the game and then have what they like cut out "just because."
