Thankfully, Blood Dragon has the gameplay to back up its looks.
Biehn’s deadpan delivery meshes nicely with the 80s action film script, and it’s hard not to laugh at pressing the right stick to flip the bird or at lines like “Lady Liberty taught me that winners… don’t use drugs.” More than the indie 2D games that try to evoke nostalgia for Mega Man or Castlevania, Blood Dragon leans on that nostalgia factor hard, from the synth soundtrack to the CRT scanlines and soft fuzz static. But while the title is a bit confusing, the game itself is a blast, feeling like a modern game that was made for old retro game fans. Despite having the Far Cry 3 title, Blood Dragon has no relation to the base game, which is a bit baffling, to be sure.
