BLOODY HELL
Skewering undead with a chatty stick in the impressive BLOOD SPEAR
COOL TITLES FOR NO CASH by Tom Sykes
It looks much better in motion.
Blood Spear is a student project that puts its own spin on the Souls-like formula. Gone are the souls, the bonfires, or any sense of character advancement. All that remains is an undead medieval world, and the titular spear: a sentient weapon that thirsts for blood, and that has an eyeball embedded in it.
It’s not entirely clear if you play as the Blood Spear, or the poor dead knight it has possessed. Either way, the pair are soon up and running through a few attractive environments, killing undead and floating eyeballs on their way to the boss. Blood Spear took me about an hour, feeling like a slice of a bigger action game. However, there was enough space for the spear to be given a proper workout.
