Overview
Description

Blood is a classic 1997 first‑person shooter that thrusts you into a dark near‑future world overrun by zombies, gargoyles, hellhounds and other unholy horrors. As a betrayed servant of a dark god, you battle the minions of Tchernobog in single‑player campaigns and frantic multiplayer matches. The game is renowned for its over‑the‑top gore, fast‑paced action, and a sprawling arsenal of grotesque weapons. With both solo and co‑op modes, Blood delivers relentless horror‑filled combat that still resonates with fans of retro shooters.

Painkiller – Redemption continues the story of Daniel and Belial as they join forces for the first time to end the bloody conflict between heaven and hell. Discover all new maps, fight off thousands of demonic fiends, and lose yourself in intense gameplay backed by a heavy metal soundtrack. Bringing the franchise back to its roots, this installment offers breathtaking action, massive hordes of monsters, and exotic weapons. Unlock tactical Tarot Cards as you reach objectives and collect souls of fallen enemies to temporarily transform into a mighty demon.
