Blood: Refreshed Supply

Blood: Refreshed Supply is a remaster of the cult classic Blood. This is actually the second remaster of the game, but this really is the definitive way to play the game. Nightdive did an amazing job with this remaster, including both of its expansions and the fan levels MARROW and Death Wish. It is still an old-fashioned FPS and has the same issues other games of the time had, but even with all that, this is still an amazing remaster of a great game.

Blood: Refreshed Supply on Nintendo Switch 2 is the most complete and polished way to experience Caleb’s macabre revenge story today. It tastefully modernises the gameplay with quality-of-life features while preserving the dark atmosphere, challenging difficulty, and pitch-black humour that made the original so beloved. This is the ultimate Blood experience that's jam-packed with features and content that will please newcomers and veterans alike, and taps into every gamer's inner goth kid.

Blood: Refreshed Supply was always a highly anticipated title by the boomer shooter crowd, and it was seemingly an impossible task due to some copyright issues. Now that the proper paperwork has been taken care of, it’s time to rejoice.

Blood: Refreshed Supply is a meticulous restoration of one of the most underappreciated 90s shooters. A bloody showcase of difficulty, inventive level design, and darkly comic horror with modern technical upgrades. Night Dive Studios delivers a faithful remaster with expanded content, performance enhancements, and broad platform support. However, its steep price and controversial upgrade strategy overshadow the achievement, making this revival as divisive as it is technically impressive.

Blood: Refreshed Supply is yet another outstanding port of a classic shooter from Nightdive.

The definitive way to enjoy Monolith Software’s classic, hopefully this will get a lot of folks into a game that I spent a lot of my teenage years enjoying. I can’t imagine that Blood 2: The Chosen will get the same treatment and quite frankly, that’s absolutely fine, because it is – as the Aztecs used to say, “Not very good”.

It’s impossible to deny Blood its incredibly dense atmosphere and excellent gunplay, but the game can also disappoint you as well. Still, even after all these years, Blood remains enjoyable and serves as an interesting alternative to today’s shooters. Major praise goes to Nightdive Studios for delivering another strong remaster of a game that, despite its quality, still has a few design issues.

Blood: Refreshed Supply is not only an improvement on one of the shooters that had the biggest impact on me at the time, but also brings back a long-forgotten franchise that has a lot to offer.

Blood: Refreshed Supply is the technically best and most complete version of Monolith's legendary FPS, just what we need to celebrate Blood as the great classics deserve. If you don't already own the Fresh Supply edition, of course.
