The New Blood FPS Trilogy – Bloody Retro Festival
First, you should know – the games are thoroughly trimmed for retro and offer a corresponding look. Amid Evil does offer ray tracing, but the aesthetics of all three games clearly remind one of the first 3D shooters of the 90s.
DUSK is the only game in the trilogy that offers you multiplayer.
- Amid Evil
The game strongly resembles the “Hexen” series by Raven Software. It is a fantasy FPS where you process your opponents into pixel mush with various magical actions and weapons. Brutal close combat is also part of the show.
You play through 7 episodes, and at the end, there is always a boss with special mechanics. Reviews praise the level design, the retro feeling, and lovingly refer to Amid Evil as a “boomer shooter”.
- DUSK
DUSK also comes with a very bloody approach and at first glance resembles a hellish mix of Quake and Serious Sam. It is inspired by “Doom, Quake, Blood, Heretic, Hexen, Half-Life, Redneck Rampage and all your 90s favorites”.
In 3 campaign levels, you slaughter through the cultists and dark powers and can also compete against other players in a multiplayer arena. There is also an endless horde mode for the ultimate challenge.
- ULTRAKILL
The last shooter of the trilogy is currently still in Early Access. ULTRAKILL sees itself as a mix of the retro hits Doom and Quake, but with the character of an action game like Devil May Cry. An exciting combo system reminiscent of Bulletstorm adds even more thrill.
In the story, you traverse the circles of hell. After mankind has been wiped out, only machines remain that need blood as fuel and seek replenishment in hell.
