Blood of Patriots

About

"Blood of Patriots" is a political satire fighting game reminiscent of 1990s arcade games, where players must choose from 18 patriots or tyrants and fight their way up the Tree of Liberty to save the country from an evil force threatening freedom. Each character has unique moves, fireballs, sounds, and animations, with the difficulty increasing as the game progresses. The addition of Nancy Pelosi adds to the game's topical humor.

The game is a fun and humorous way to engage in political debates, providing laughs and entertainment.
The core fighting mechanics are decent for an indie title, with intuitive controls and a variety of characters that resemble real-life political figures.
It's a great value for the price, offering a bundle of fun and enjoyable gameplay, especially in multiplayer mode with friends.

The game lacks online multiplayer and has limited character move sets, making it feel repetitive after a while.
The AI is poorly designed, often jumping around without engaging in combat, and the options menu is very limited.
There are significant balance issues between characters, with some being overpowered while others are weak, leading to an uneven gameplay experience.
