“Bloodshed feels like someone threw DOOM and Killing Floor into a blender and hit ULTRA VIOLENCE. Retro shooter vibes, endless monster hordes, and upgrades stacking until the screen turns into pure chaos. Fast, gory,…”
“As usual, I wish STEAM had a sideways thumb. BLOODSHED is an okayish spin on the VAMPIRE SURVIVORS formula as seen from the 1st person. It is pretty much a paint-by-numbers affair: Everything you'd expect is here, all…”

“fun lil shooter worth it on sale for sure. got that doom feeling but its more of a killing floor type of experience. upgrades come easy enough. Be cool if they add more to the game.”
“All those survivor-likes are pure brainrot, but sometimes you just gotta let your brain rot a little. The game itself is pretty fun – levels are all refrences to the horror classics and there are plenty of unlockables…”
“Bloodshed is as fun and mindless as Vampire Survivors, and the default price point is right for the amount of content (6 levels, a couple of very short boss levels, and a few simple, equally mindless bonus levels). Were…”

“At first I was not a fan, and I love these types of games, like Death Must Die. I think it has to do with it having a pretty slow start, but after like 2 hours you start to pick up the pace and get a hang of it, and it…”

“Bloodshed has a lot going for it, but it's not great. It perfectly captures the 90s shooter aesthetic of a proper Doom clone and has pretty good B-movie characters and voice acting, but it doesn't have much variety or…”

“very fun game for $2 love the music with the voice lines gunplay is good this was my first boomer shooter would be a game i would play on a steam deck if i had one ignore the haters would not pay $12 for this tho get it…”
“Looks great, feels pretty good, sounds okay. But I've never noticed how important the guns are in a game like this until I played this game. Most of the tiny amount of available weapons absolutely suck. They're…”

“For $12.38 USD, I cannot recommend it. Get it when its on sale, I personally got it at $2.69 USD. Holy this game is short and isn't challenging at all. There isn't that many levels and the challenge stages reuse some of…”

“I wouldn't pay full price for this but on sale it's an excellent, casual fps where you don't need to think too much, get into a story, try and remember what is going on, or display a lot of skill. I got it for 70% off.…”
“Straight up, 30 minuets is too long for any mission in a game like this. I saw the other reviews and thought... maybe ill tough it out. Nah. died at 28:17. Im done. Im out. it was tough, not hard. boring. repetitive.…”

— a player, Steam review · 19 hrs played“The idea of making Vampire Survivors game as a first-person shooter was absolutely brilliant. I'm amazed at how simple and addictive it is and despite the repetitive roguelike nature of the game, it keeps you coming back again and again. Tons of enemies, blood, guts, kills,…”
— a player, Steam review · 15 hrs played“Bloodshed is an FPS bullet heaven game that’s equal parts DOOM and vampire survivors. While shallow in content, the gameplay is precise and fun, making it absolutely worth picking up at a deep discount. Gib enemies with a sawed off, or create a storm of magic spells, all in the…”
