Bloodthirsty Seal ended a three-year beta run a few days ago (January 27, 2022) and officially launched version 1.0 of the game. On the third day of Shibetsu, when the eyes were shocked, the official version today has changed the face of the game significantly compared with the EA beta version launched in early 19.
The previous EA version left the deepest impression on us is "difficult", the hardcore combat experience has caused countless players to be devastated, and due to the EA version of the game's dark diseases, the overall evaluation of the game is not high. After continuous updates, the addition of new content has made "Bloodthirsty Seal" change its wind review, and the comment area is even more peaceful... Of course, the reason for this is inseparable from the fact that most players regard this hardcore ACT game as "butter".
Yes, the game has added a lot of edge ball content during the update process, and the naked priestess and various sensual skins seem to be more noisy, which determines that many players are rushing to experience the game with these contents. So what is the quality of the official edition of Bloodthirsty Seal?
Domestic ACT, hardcore enough
If you trace the background of the developer of "Bloodthirsty Seal", in fact, as early as 15 years, they made an ACT stand-alone "Royal Heavenly Descent Demon Legend", but due to the poor quality of the game itself and the ghost operation of the operator at that time, this game did not gain the favor of players. After the initial failure, they launched a new work in early 19 years, which is also the EA version of the protagonist of this review, "Bloodthirsty Seal".
In the official version of Bloodthirsty Seal, players can fight with six weapons, including short knives, large knives, guns, punches, double-wielding, and magic wands. In the original EA version, there were only four weapons to choose from. Although the game does not achieve a fist-to-flesh blow feeling, each weapon has a unique way of fighting, different skills and combo systems can indeed be enjoyed in battle.
In addition to the weapon system, there is also a "Bloodthirsty Seal" in the game. Bloodthirsty Seals are divided into "Active Skills" and "Passive Skills", which require the corresponding item "Blood Amber" to learn and upgrade. Rampage, Bullet Time, Roar breaks defenses, Assassination Executions, Counterattacks, Summoning Companions, and Bloodthirsty Seals in various skill forms also add a lot of tricks to the battle. But the player can only carry three bloodthirsty marks, and how to choose is also worth thinking about. In fact, the system is not unique, and the official declaration that the system is extremely innovative seems to be a bit exaggerated, but it is better to say that it is set up for deliberate points.
Plot, the complete story line is late but arriving
In the EA version, Bloodthirsty Seal does not have a clear and complete story story, and players can only speculate on the background and story development of the game through only a few words obtained through exploration and interaction.
And this official version of "Bloodthirsty Seal" tells us a complete story.
The game tells the story of the male protagonist Su Yejin's rescue of his sister Xiao Li, who was tied up by the Spirit Void Sect. Although the plot is not long and more clichéd, many animated CGs have been added to make the story more intuitive. The plot fragments of the previous version through dialogue and other interactions are still retained, which adds to the fun of exploration for players to a certain extent.
The plot of this game is related to eLong's previous "Legend of the Heavenly Descent", and there are also protagonists of the previous game, and eLong seems to be building a larger martial arts world. However, it should be pointed out that the so-called "female character" in the game is actually the male protagonist Su Yejin wearing a female skin. The protagonists are always male characters, and all plots are treated as "male protagonists". That said, if you're mentally prepared for this, you can move on to the next paragraph...
Naked, crooked or surprising
I really don't know how to evaluate the soft XX content in the game.
For hardcore players, the ultimate combat experience is the core of the game, and the soft XX content is just a "lower third-rate" move, with crooked moves to win, the victory is not martial. But it is undeniable that soft XX content does bring an extremely large player base to the game.
It will even reflect the light...
It should start with the priestess version, "Bloodthirsty Seal", an action game that was originally slightly dark, and the female characters dressed less and less cloth. Many female figures will gradually break the skin with the battle, and the breasts, buttocks, and legs will all emit light. And there is also no shortage of strange mods in the workshop that are original or ported by players, which makes soft XX content seem to be the same goal for players to experience Bloodthirsty Seal.
The lack of domestic independent game funding, through such content to attract players, sufficient funds to continue to develop the game, there seems to be a sense of curve to save the country. There are also games that sell meat and ACT abroad, such as "Flash Kagura". At present, "selling meat" has brought vitality and popularity to "Bloodthirsty Seal", so that more people can enjoy the charm of domestic ACT games, and there is no shortage of good things.
Well, what a fragrance. Even if these "female skins" are "male protagonists", it doesn't seem to matter.
Easter eggs, another kind of euphoria
Finally, I have to mention the Easter eggs in the game.
After completing the game, the player will appear in front of the producer Uncle Li's computer, and the extremely contradictory character will alleviate the slightly depressing atmosphere of the game.
In fact, there are still many Easter eggs hidden in the game, and this is not the first time that Uncle Li has appeared in front of the player. In the previous level, players can directly explore and enter the eLong Studio, as if breaking through the dimensional wall. The studio's BGM is still the theme song of the previous game "The Legend of the Heavenly Demon", which may be to save money, or it may be to make the old players move again (no).
Not only that, but the game also hides a tribute to medical care, summer inflatable toys, and many Easter eggs that are linked to other games. All kinds of Easter eggs allow players to discover more fun in the process of exploring the game, and feel another kind of joy.
epilogue
This is a game developed by only three people, nudity and other edge ball content may have saved the "Bloodthirsty Seal", but the hot sales of "Bloodthirsty Seal" can not all be attributed to these contents, the game also has a good performance in combat, plot, and exploration. In the official version of the online announcement, it is officially written that it will continue to polish, update the gameplay, and have plans for a sequel in the future. We may see better bloodthirsty prints in the future.
