The gaming landscape just got a thrilling boost with today’s launch of Bloodshed on Steam. This retro-inspired Roguelite blends the visual grit of classic shooters with the intensity of modern gameplay mechanics. It throws players into a nightmarish world where strategy, reflexes, and survival instincts are your only allies.
A Gauntlet of Undead and Cultist Terror
Bloodshed doesn’t pull its punches. You’re not just fending off zombies; you’re facing tactical cultists, demonic fiends, and wave after wave of escalating chaos. Every run presents new surprises, thanks to procedurally generated levels and an ever-evolving threat level. From sewers to shrines, every environment is steeped in danger.
Character Variety Means Strategy Variety
Each character brings unique perks and abilities. Want to play as a brute force tank? Or a fast-moving glass cannon? The choice is yours—and it deeply affects how you approach each encounter. With upgrade paths and unlocks, replayability stays high even after dozens of runs.

The Cult Awakens—And You’re All That Stands in Their Way
At the heart of Bloodshed is a sinister plot: a cult determined to resurrect an ancient evil. With every run, you inch closer to unraveling the truth behind this doomsday agenda. But every death is just a step backward—so you’ll need grit, skill, and the will to survive to see the end.
