So Much Blood

So Much Blood is.. severely disappointing. I was pretty excited for this game, but then I played it. The game is inherently flawed in design. You can move in eight directions, but you can only shoot left and right. This makes traversing and dodging enemies really difficult for no reason. The enemies themselves are practically useless, but some of the game's "mechanics" make them worse than Hell to deal with. This wouldn't be so bad if you could either shoot in multiple directions, or if the game was horizontally based. In that there was no vertical room generation, you just move left or right. But then that would make the room generation even more bland. So with that said, the easiest way to fix the broken mechanics would be to completely change them. On top of the two-directional shooting, you cannot control when you fire, or even lock direction. If you want to move left but fire rig

So Much Blood shows the potential of being a good game. It’s certainly not a lemon by any means. However, the flaws in the game, both fundamental and game design choices, make it a game that only genre fanatics will enjoy. The mass appeal wears off very quickly especially because you are limited to horizontal shooting and the procedurally generated rooms are too repetitive. There is, however, so much blood. 4.5/10 For a more comprehensive review of So Much Blood please visit Gamephasis[www.gamephasis.com]. Please feel free to join our Steam group

Alright, so imagine a twin-stick shooter. Only, it's single-stick, and you can only shoot left and right. Now imagine they threw away any semblence of game design and made levels out of random enemies, that usually don't have any attack pattern besides "Walk in a direction". Finally, make it that your shots do far more damage when they're near an enemy. to the point that you shouldn't even fight bosses at range. In other words, I do not like this game.

Shmup with only left and right firing. Enemies have all the characteristics of the Halo flood with none of the charm. Not worth individual purchase. For shmup addicts only, and not picky ones. Finished Zone 1 and couldn't make myself go further.

Mhm, it is alright I guess. I must say this is absolutely one of the most rage inducing games I've ever played. The game is fun but gets really annoying after like 5 minutes. Enemies spawn ontop of you, no weapon cycling. The bosses are too difficult and when you die five times you have to start all over again. Not a really great game.
