Bleed is a platform shooter developed by the Bootdisk Revolution team played in two dimensions. We direct an armed heroine to the teeth, whose task is to cut out all the enemies in each level into the trunk.
Bleed, released on PC, Switch, etc., is a 2D platformer focused on dynamic battles with enemies. The game was created by Bootdisk Revolution.
We play as a girl named Wryn, whose biggest dream is to become the most popular video game heroine. The problem is that the fight for this title ended a long time ago with the selection of a group of favorites - Wryn wasn't among them. Therefore, in order to achieve her ambitions, the girl will have to eliminate the remaining contenders. We will do this over seven vast levels. At the end of each of them, we must face a powerful boss.
The game offers an extensive combat system based mainly on firearms. The available weapons are, e.g. flame throwers, remotely detonated explosive charges and a sword that can deflect bullets. Players can activate slow-motion, allowing them to deal effectively with rooms densely filled with enemies. In later parts of the campaign, there is also an option to unlock three additional characters with their own fighting styles.
In addition to the single-player mode, Bleed also offers online mode, in which two players can play on the same screen and go through the more difficult versions of the standard levels. There is also an arcade mode, where our task is to complete the game in one approach. Players with better skills can also test themselves in Challenges, in which they will face several bosses at the same time.

NintendoWorldReport: 8 / 10 by J.P. Corbran
undefined.Bleed mostly does a good job of making the most out of its relatively simple design, with the time slowing mechanic resulting in a unique feel that sets it apart from other run and gun games. The checkpoints and upgrades, as well as variable difficulty settings, make it very accessible in a way you don't always see in this genre. Bleed is yet another compelling indie experience on the Switch eShop.

I had a blast with Bleed and out of all the indies I have played on Switch, it’s one that I enjoyed immensely. It’s fast and the action never stops. Tight controls, great set pieces, varied enemies and bosses are brilliant but it’s the uniqueness of the control scheme and how good it feels to play that’s the real standout. Throw in the ultra-smooth performance and this is one everyone should consider at some point. It’s just a shame it wasn’t priced a little more competitively.
Worth Playing: 7 / 10 by Thomas Wilde
Beyond that, however, I see Bleed's appeal, but it's a game that just isn't for me, at least not right now. It's a distinct experience in that it's a modern game dressed in a retro game's skin, with a substantial learning curve built into it before you're even competent. I don't think it's bad at all, but playing it feels like I've found myself in the cockpit of some vehicle that I don't know how to drive, five seconds before a crash. I figure there's a decent audience for this sort of game out there, but I'm not in it.
