Dark Blood Chronicles: Mixing Horror With RPG Action!

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 03:38 AM PST

I am a huge fan of both RPG's and horror themed video games. And in my over twenty years as a gamer very few game developers have mixed the two together. That is why I was very excited when I first heard about Dark Blood Chronicles from Omaj Productions.

This is the game that I have been waiting years for! It is part RPG, part survival horror and part adventure game as well. All mixed up in to one cool sprite filled package. That is another thing that made this game pop up on my radar, the art design. Dark Blood Chronicles is a game that has some of the coolest pixel art I have seen in a few years. I have heard some people say that it resembles a 16-bit era game, but I actually think the game is way more detailed than that. And if anything you would have to say that it resembles some of the RPG's that were released on the Playstation and Sega Saturn.

Dark Blood Chronicles: Mixing Horror With RPG Action!

The game has a pretty cool story that I will try not to spoil too much for you guys. It centers round a high school chick called Samantha. She is a bit of an outcast at school and kind of a little weird. She is having a bad dream one evening where she is about to be beheaded when all of a sudden she is taken into a strange creepy world called The Dark Realm by a character called Sin. Samantha now needs to do all she can to survive in this horrific realm all the while trying to find out why she was saved by Sin and the secrets of her past. It's a really awesome story in part thanks to the great writing and interesting characters that you genuinely do start to care about early on in the game.

I have already mentioned how I love the way the game looks, but I really want to give credit for the amazing level design in the game. Now while this is certainly a horror themed game. This Dark Realm that you are trying to escape from is just so creepy and diverse that you really want to explore every nook and cranny. You have all these creepy catacombs like you would expect from a horror themed game, but there are also parts of the game that I felt had a cyberpunk type of look to them.

As well as looking great and having a genuinely interesting story the combat in Dark Blood Chronicles is not too shabby either. They have gone for a turn based system which is what I actually prefer in my RPG's and the battles do have an "epic" feel to them. The battle system is easy to pick up and learn and not to overcomplicated like many other modern RPG's. One thing I am sure many people will be happy about is the fact that there are no random battles in this game. So you can go and explore the Dark Realm without being pulled away to a battle every five seconds.

In all if you are a horror fan then this is the game for you. If you are a fan of RPG's, but are bored with the current "fantasy" trend then this game will be a breath of fresh air for you. Dark Blood Chronicles is just an all round great game that once you pick up I am sure you will not put down. For the price of admission you are getting taken on one heck of a great adventure here.
