Bad Blood

Bad Blood (1990)

by Origin Systems
Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:A nuclear war has turned the world into a wasteland. The pure-blooded humans have retreated in large cities while mutants live in small villages on the plains where they make a living by hunting the many monsters. Now one of the human leaders, Lord Dominix, wants to start a war to wipe out all the "bad-blooded" mutants. Your village chief has assigned you with the task of preventing this war. Bad Blood is a top-down action game with light role-playing elements. You can not create your own character but have to pick one of the three predefined ones: Varrigg (a strong green mutant who fights with his bare hands), Dekker (a human male armed with a knife) or Jakka (she looks human but can shoot laser beams from her eyes like Cyclops of X-Men fame). The choice you make has only a limited impact on gameplay and storyline. Gameplay consists of exploring the world map, visiting several cities and villages, talking with NPCs, picking up items and new weapons (like shotguns, grenades, Uzis etc.) and lots of real-time combat. Bad Blood lacks character stats and character development. The game has a day-night cycle which influences the amount of monsters on the plains and whether or not you can talk with some NPCs.Show more

I remember playing this game with a buddy of mine, and loving the lore and game play mechanics. As a super fan of "Wasteland", this game added more of the action element, which made things exciting. The story was great, even the music still sometimes pops into my head. and this is how many years ago? I still think of "Shivvy Slicer-Dicer" when I see the flashy mayhem and overdone graphics of new games. I never finished the game, but it formed lasting memories nonetheless.

This was some changer from Ultima Worlds Savage Empire and Wasteland, like many movies in the 80's with shaman characters and tribes touches. I remember it really smell like a wasteland in the cities, with its top-down view it was very dynamic and and exploring was very interesting and nice!

Very fun game growing up. Kind of similar to stuff like Wasteland or other games like that while being quite unique as well. It's one that I know I don't hear many people talking about often and shoulud not be forgotten.

I was obsessed with the cover of the game box when I was a kid in the computer games store. I wasn't allowed to have it until my birthday and when I finally got a chance to buy it the store didn't have a copy anymore and I was told buy something else or get no present by my parents. So never got to play it but to this day loved the art, and the idea of being a human fighting for the mutants in a wasteland. So help this old nerd get that birthday present finally. Please? Thanks!
