graphics9 positive mentions
stability4 negative mentions
  • Fast-paced, old-school shooter gameplay reminiscent of Doom and Painkiller with a heavy metal soundtrack.
  • Good weapon variety with some fun mechanics like dual wielding and unique secondary attacks.
  • Free demo offers enjoyable, nostalgic arcade shooter experience with solid graphics and sound design.
  • Weapons feel weak and lack impactful feedback; shooting mechanics sometimes feel unsatisfying and inconsistent.
  • Enemy spawn design is frustrating, with many enemies appearing behind the player without warning, causing cheap deaths.
  • Technical issues including poor hit registration, awkward movement, a disorienting camera effect, bugs, and lack of polish reduce overall enjoyment.

  • graphics

    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    41% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed but generally positive feedback, praised for their modern, coherent style, realistic details, and well-designed environments, though some find them uninspired or amateurish. Visuals contribute well to the game's atmosphere, but occasional graphical glitches, simplistic level design, and performance issues on lower settings are noted. Overall, the art and graphics are considered a strong point that enhances the game's unique arcade horror FPS experience.

    • “The graphics are cool, without unnecessary exaggeration in the bloody and creepy, the animations are good, the different environments remain in a coherent universe, the interface is well thought out, clear and efficient, the music is adapted to the style of the game, and the 3 difficulty levels make the game accessible to as many people as possible.”
    • “The graphics in Bloodhound: First Day in Hell are well-done and realistic.”
    • “The game's designers had clearly put a lot of effort into creating a visually stunning world that was filled with intricate details and beautiful graphics.”
    • “The theme is bland, the shooting is bad, the visuals are uninspired and feel amateurish, and worst of all, the pacing is terrible.”
    • “All weapons except for maybe the shotgun lack the necessary punch, and the satisfaction of gibbing enemies is quickly lost to graphical glitches that stretch out the model geometry on some of the monsters.”
    • “Game lags on the lowest graphic settings even with the recommended video card installed.”

  • music

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    28% positive mentions, 55% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for its heavy metal, fast-paced soundtrack that effectively enhances combat intensity and atmosphere. However, many users find the music repetitive and sometimes awkwardly managed in terms of flow, with tracks cycling on and off abruptly. Overall, the soundtrack fits the game’s style well but could benefit from more variety and smoother integration.

    • “Like Doom and Doom 2 crossed with XIII, fast paced and great fun with a killer soundtrack.”
    • “A really cool and fast paced FPS very bloody and gory with a hardcore heavy metal soundtrack.”
    • “The graphics are cool, without unnecessary exaggeration in the bloody and creepy, the animations are good, the different environments remain in a coherent universe, the interface is well thought out, clear and efficient, the music is adapted to the style of the game, and the 3 difficulty levels make the game accessible to as many people as possible.”
    • “The music gets turned up every fight and then off when done, it doesn't flow right.”
    • “Needs less babies (they are annoying) in early game, needs more boobs and demon chicks, fixing some weapons (sometimes bullets don't go the way I aim), story elements with voice acting, and especially needs more music because the one is very, very repetitive.”
    • “There's a repetitive metal riff that plays during these, and no music otherwise.”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay is fast-paced and reminiscent of classic shooters like Doom, Wolfenstein, and Painkiller, featuring old-school combat with wave-based enemy encounters behind progression-blocking barriers. While the core mechanics evoke nostalgia and show promise, issues such as repetitive enemy design, control responsiveness, and level pacing interrupt the experience, though ongoing developer support and improvements have notably enhanced the gameplay over time.

    • “Holy cow this game is giving me major Doom and Wolfenstein vibes because of how fast paced and bloody the gameplay is.”
    • “To tell the truth, we especially notice the influence of Painkiller in this FPS which offers a fairly complete gameplay.”
    • “After a harsh beginning, the gameplay gets satisfying and nostalgia hits 100%.”
    • “Gameplay is fight pits with a "kill all the enemies first" gate thrown up every 30 seconds.”
    • “The gameplay consists of moving from locked off combat areas where enemies teleport in, to another, and repeat ad nauseum.”
    • “Gameplay is constantly interrupted by magical yellow walls that block progression while enemies spawn behind you, and in order to remove the magical field you have to kill all the enemies.”

  • humor

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game received mixed responses, with some finding it funny but others considering it lacking or annoying. Overall, it was seen as less clever and engaging compared to similar titles known for their humor.

    • “Blood and Painkiller have some sense of humor, this, not so much.”
    • “I found this really funny, but also lazy.”
    • “Funny game”

  • atmosphere

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    71% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is often praised for its cool, old-school shooter vibe and complementary music, creating an engaging action experience. However, some players find the gunplay boring and the overall feel rough and unoptimized, which can detract from immersion. Despite bugs and frustrations, the unique atmosphere remains a strong point.

    • “But something seems to me a lot in common with Quake, but with its own atmosphere.”
    • “Cool atmospheric game, action!”
    • “The game also features a variety of music tracks, which add to the game's atmosphere.”

  • story

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The story in the game is minimal or nearly nonexistent, with many players noting it lacks narrative depth or cutscenes, focusing instead on immediate combat action. While some find this approach fun and fitting for the genre, others feel the game could benefit from more story elements and variety to enhance engagement.

    • “The story was really easy to follow.”
    • “I seriously get the Wolfensteins and the original Dooms had no real story other than in the manual, but what is so wrong with a simple cutscene every once in a while? No flavor, no real sense of purpose, other than shoot shoot shoot.”
    • “It chooses to start off by immediately dropping you into combat instead of a story, which is fine.”
    • “Ok, so this game is lame..like ok..no story (at least not in the demo) come on!”
    • “I seriously get the Wolfensteins and the original Dooms had no real story other than in the manual..but what is so wrong with a simple cut scene every once in a while..no flavor, no real sense of purpose, other than shoot shoot shoot..”
    • “Yes no story line nothing and I played with only the machine gun and the shotgun but yet that was fun and I see potential.”

  • stability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game struggles with stability issues, including frequent freezing and graphical glitches that affect enemy models. While some players appreciate it as a free game, bugs and performance problems detract from the overall experience.

    • “Would leave a positive review if the last achievement unlocked and the game was less buggy.”
    • “It is still very buggy though.”
    • “The only downside to the game is that it freezes a lot, but it's not bad still for a free game.”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, -67% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The optimization is currently lacking and feels unpolished on some PCs. While there is effort made, the full version requires significant improvements in optimization and further playtesting.

    • “Optimization was kinda weird on my PC.”
    • “While I appreciate the effort, the full version will need a lot more polish, optimization and play testing.”
    • “But I think the game is unoptimized.”
    • “Optimization was kind of weird on my PC.”
    • “While I appreciate the effort, the full version will need a lot more polish, optimization, and playtesting.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers limited replayability for general players but holds potential for speedrunning enthusiasts. Post-launch patches have improved playability, though the experience remains imperfect.

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The monetization aspect is criticized for relying on advertising tactics that direct users to tasks promising free rewards, which may feel misleading or gimmicky.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is often hindered by repetitive encounters with enemies, including frequent jump scares from hidden foes, which can make the process feel tedious and frustrating over time.
