I dont understand how a game likeBlood Dragongot farther than a creative meeting.
Its a brilliant formula, okay?
How could this game possibly not sell?
People LOVE the 80s.
Even the synth pop made it into Blood Dragon, which was scored by electronic music duo Power Glove.
You cant go through this game without laughing and tapping your foot.
Rexs mission, your mission, is to take Sloan out and free the island.
Dude, I dont know, either.
Its very clear that the focus isnt on the story.
Its all about the gimmick.
The game is beautifully presented and thats what matters.
Its very colorful: neon splattered all over a reddish-purple palette.
Literally, everything has neon.
Theres neon shooting up into the sky (not kidding).
Red neon on enemies.
Colors (green, yellow, and red) tell you if youre making the blood dragons mad.
I will say that the colors can become a bit disorienting at times when youre on the run-and-gun.
Got a headache once or twice.
In terms of gameplay, Blood Dragon plays pretty much the same as its predecessors.
It wont feel foreign to fans of the series at all.
You still have to dodge trees as you drive those horrible jeeps in the first person.
You still get to stab multiple people in the throat with your (neon) knife.
There are combo takedowns and lots and lots of explosive canisters through out the map.
Customizable machine gun, pistol, shotgun, sniper rifle and bow are all at your disposal.
Finding the most creative way to kill your enemies is still very gratifying.
The map is still open-world and you might decide what missions to tackle first.
There are several ways to complete your missions.
But I dare sayBlood Dragonwasnt designed for stealth.
They can kill you in about three hits or use their freaking laser beams to kill you in two.
Blood dragons can also be used as weapons.
you could bait them into attacking Omega Force soldiers and obliterating their base defenses.
The game does a good job at distracting you with the way they spread enemies all over the map.
You wont go without killing something for longer than a few minutes.
Besides destroying all things, the most remarkable thing about Blood Dragon is the presentation.
Its so incredibly fresh to watch these cheesy little videos that it doesnt make sense.
And that should be the games slogan: Dont ask.
I got my initial WTF?
out of the way early on and just started playing the best shooter of the year thus far.
Darling) and save the world form the bad guys.
What else could you possibly want from an action game?
AndGoogle+, if thats your thing!
