Blood | The Best Cult Classic from 1997!

Описание: Whatever Duke Nukem 3D did in terms of gameplay, Blood did a lot better. It is technically one of the most refined Build Engine titles from the 90s. Nowadays it is considered a cult classic and continues to see new addons and even multiplayer activity! This video covers the development, story, some trivia and (of course!) the multiplayer.

Some alpha footage were done thanks to a restored build by Life_My_Agony which is based on July 1996 source code.
