Team morale is based entirely on your interactions with the other players while audience opinion is based on how exciting and entertaining you are to watch. Over the course of a single playthrough I made 62 decisions out of a possible 294 to reach one of at least six possible endings.Įvery decision and action you take affects the game in some fashion, as tracked by five sliding scales for Team Morale, Audience Opinion, Romance, Strength, and Insight. Some choices seem trivial like drinking a beer, while others like choosing to keep or give away a malfunctioning weapon could have repercussions much later in the game. You’ll even have a chance at romance with either a male or female contestant. Much like the show Survivor you’ll want to establish alliances, but who can you trust? This is where the game really starts to shine with some of the more subtle decisions and conversation choices. That is where we come in, joining up with a group of unlikeable kids trapped in adult bodies, you’ll play as Nick, just one of fifty contestants air-dropped onto an island. Originally created for prisoners to compete and win their freedom (and millions of dollars), the produces have now opened it up to willing members of society seeking fame and fortune. It’s all about the views, likes, and subs for them while Bloodshore is all about an aging reality show, Kill/Stream that has been going on for far too long and is starting to lose its ratings. You can also find references to Hunger Games and some of the more recent Battle Royale modes in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield where “contestants” are supplied with periodic loot drops and forced to converge on each other with a shrinking circle of death.īloodshore creates an interesting mix by blending in a near-future gameshow aesthetic with overly stereotypical Gen Z architypes consumed with social media and streaming followers. The core premise is ripped straight from the 2007 Steve Austin flick, The Condemned, where prisoners are put on an island to fight to the death for their freedom and the entertainment of millions of viewers around the world. While that game was more of a psychological thriller, Bloodshore promises a lot more gratuitous violence, action, and campy dialogue that borrows on numerous films, games, and other pop-culture references. Bloodshore is the latest interactive entertainment title from Wales Interactive, and after reviewing I Saw Black Clouds back in March I was pretty excited to check this one out.
