A remastered version of the classic 1997 first person shooter, which offers support for modern operating systems and screen resolution. The title, however, does not change the game's characteristic and original graphic design, combining two-dimensional opponent sprites with vast three-dimensional levels.
Blood: Fresh Supply is a refreshed version of the classic FPS and one of the most important titles in the history of the genre. The title, developed by Monolith Productions, was originally released in 1997, quickly receiving two expansions (both included in the refreshed version), as well as a sequel released a year later. The creation of the remaster was the responsibility the Nightdive Studios, the team known for their remakes of System Shock, Forsaken and Turok.
Plot
Blood: Fresh Supply takes place at the beginning of the last century. We play the role of an undead gunslinger named Caleb, who is looking for a way to take revenge on the worshippers of Chernobog after he was betrayed and killed by the cultists. Individual fragments of the campaign take place in different parts of the world in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
Mechanics
Blood: Fresh Supply uses the formula typical of FPS games from mid- and late 1990's. The players navigate through vast maps in search of secrets and keys that open the way to next levels. Individual locations are full of various hidden surprises and weapons, including various pop-culture references.
Like in Duke Nukem 3D, the players cannot look up or down while playing. Shooting opponents does not require us to aim accurately. It is enough that the enemies are within reach of our weapons and sight. The limited movement of the camera is partly compensated by the fact that Caleb can crouch, which turns out to be useful when exploring and avoiding threats. During the game, we use firearms, as well as occult magic and tools. On our quest we take down human enemies as well as various demonic monsters.
Game modes
In addition to the single-player campaign, Blood Remastered also features a multiplayer mode with many classic gameplay variants such as deathmatch.
Technical aspects
Blood: Fresh Supply preserves all the elements of the original audiovisual setting, including level design, combining three-dimensional locations with two-dimensional character sprites. However, the game offers support for modern screen resolutions (including 4K). The title has been adapted to work with the latest operating systems, providing support for DirectX and Vulcan libraries, as well as modern audio standards. The technical side of the multiplayer mode was also completely rebuilt.
