- “The music is enjoyable, and a couple of mechanics, while not groundbreaking, have originality and personality.”
- “There's no combat music for a lot of the combat encounters.”

The gameplay of Bsb is characterized by its charming RPG Maker roots, featuring a unique blood-based combat system that, while not fully realized, offers an interesting twist on traditional mechanics. Players note the game’s short yet challenging nature, complemented by a strong atmosphere, engaging writing, and enjoyable music, despite some bugs and a lack of polish in areas like combat music and skill descriptions. Overall, while the gameplay has its rough edges, it presents a fun experience with potential for deeper engagement.
- “Gameplay-wise, it's a short, challenging RPG.”
- “Surprisingly fun game with good humor that is coupled with the classic turn-based mechanics.”
- “The music is enjoyable, and a couple of mechanics, while not groundbreaking, have originality and personality.”
- “Bsb is a very soulful and charming RPG Maker game. It's rough around the edges in a lot of regards; there's no combat music for many of the encounters, no skill or item descriptions, and mechanically it's not groundbreaking. There is a glimmer of something really interesting there with a bit of work, however. It's a little buggy, but all that being said, there's a lot to love about this game.”
- “The core combat mechanic is the blood system, and the first problem the game has is how long it takes for the combat system to really come to fruition. It boils down to attack spam until you have gained the skills to make cool things possible, especially when you don't have self-impala and have to rely on.”
- “I don't play too many JRPGs, so I might be easily impressed, but I hope this mechanic gets iterated on. This almost struck gold but reached there too late for only one or two encounters.”

Players note that grinding in the game is heavily reliant on the effectiveness of the fourth party member, who is crucial for dealing damage, while other characters serve more supportive roles, such as tanking and healing.

The game's atmosphere is masterfully crafted, featuring a grimy and dilapidated world complemented by solid, fitting music and unique art design. Players appreciate the brutal and macabre cutscenes, distinctive monster and character designs, and the humor in character interactions, all contributing to an immersive experience that leaves them wanting more from the narrative. Overall, the combination of these elements creates a captivating and engaging atmosphere.
- “The atmosphere is excellently put together; it's generally grimy and dilapidated. You feel dragged through the mud looking at some of these locations. The music is very solid and fitting, with some of it even being groovy and enjoyable overall. The art is really good, with appropriately dreary backgrounds, brutal and macabre cutscenes, and unique monster designs. The NPC and party designs are very unique; I don't think I'll ever have a player party like BSB again in another game. The humor and character dialogue are good, even though there isn't a lot of it. The interaction with the elf over his soup got a good chuckle out of me—very funny stuff.”
- “However, it boasts an excellent atmosphere, great music, solid writing and humor, and an interesting spin with its main combat mechanic. The world and narrative are so engaging that I wanted to wring them dry for the most BSB!”

The game's story spans two to three hours and offers enjoyable character interactions, though the narrative itself lacks depth. While the writing is appreciated, dialogue is infrequent, limiting the overall storytelling experience.
