Chase Unholy Undead in Bloodshed — The Roguelite Survivors FPS Coming Soon from Headup

Headup :

Düren, Germany — October 9, 2024 — Alternative-indie publisher Headup is thrilled to announce their second partnership title with developer com8com1, creators of the 2020 retro-SHMUP Rigid Force Redux, to bring their new creation  — Bloodshed — to Steam this year. The game is an exhilarating fusion of Roguelite elements merged with retro-styled visuals and first-person  “Survivors-like” frenetic combat action. Bloodshed is set to launch in Steam’s Early Access for PC in late 2024.

A demo for Bloodshed is available on the Steam page.
 
Bloodshed is an exhilarating fusion of Roguelite elements merged with retro-styled visuals and first-person “Survivors-like” frenetic combat action: Face endless waves of undead foes, collect experience points, and upgrade your skills and weapons in a battle to survive the night. Even after death, you keep your hard-earned money, which can be exchanged for persistent improvements and unlockable content, allowing you to progress further while adding depth to the overall gameplay.  

Face the malevolent threat of the Cult, whose members are pursuing a sinister plan to resurrect an ancient deity to bring about the apocalypse. Battle countless cultists, undead, demons, and other creatures of the night and send them (back) to their graves! 

Each enemy presents a unique challenge and requires its own strategy — and you'd better get ready quickly because they come in masses! 

Bloodshed boasts a diverse roster of playable characters, each with distinct abilities and playstyles, providing a personalized gameplay experience. With a vast selection of weapons and skills at your disposal, you can experiment with various builds to discover the ideal strategy for your survival. 

Key Features of Bloodshed include:
