Blood

aka: Horror 3D
Moby ID: 980

DOS version

A decent doom clone with a neat story.

The Good
Great story. You are evil, fighting evil. Wonderful time period, so different from most games (old west, it seems). Horror based. Zombies (always a plus for me). Fighting cult members. What could be better?

There's a wide variety of weapons, most with dual fire modes.

I find the levels quite interesting and thematically varied. A mortuary and a train station are two of the earliest, and they're very well depicted.

And while I have to agree with Tomer that ray-casting in '97 is behind the times, the ray-cast graphics are an excellent example of what ray-casting can do.

Caleb's occasional comments are fun.

The Bad
Ray-casting in '97.

The creatures (especially the zombies) are a bit blocky and neon-esque in their bright colours.

The screen seems to flicker every once in a while. Dunno what that's about.

The Bottom Line
A good horror-based shooter.
