iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

In a word, the graphics are stunning. Everything from the cutscenes to the details of the background buildings blurs the line between fantasy and reality that you just about forget you're playing a game.

Solid mechanics, impressive enviroments and gripping gameplay in a universe where genre giants like Kratos or Dante would feel right at home.

The storyline is new and interesting and the gameplay kept me wanting more. The game is priced on the higher end of the spectrum but the quality will not disappoint.

At the end of the day, Wild Blood is a game that all fans of this genre should get!

The iOS platform has been aching for a solid beat'em-up and Wild Blood fills the niche perfectly, if with something that feels a bit flat in its execution; at least it's a nice change to beat up on demons instead of zombies or 'gods'.

Wild Blood is one of the best-looking and generally well-crafted games we've played on iOS. The gameplay, however, is pretty humdrum.

A flawed but enjoyable romp, saved in part by a fun multiplayer mode, Wild Blood isn't vintage Gameloft, but it's entertaining in small chunks.

Wild Blood got my attention thanks to its incredible visuals, but it kept my attention thanks to its varied and satisfying combat. But frustrating camera and control issues hold the title back from greatness.

Wild Blood leaves me both hungry for more, and cold for it at the same time. At it's core there is a great hack 'n slash experience, up there in fact with Gameloft's Hero of Sparta series, and at times even God of War (the definitive slasher). However, the constant badgering to spend more money through in-app-purchase leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

This seems to be the perpetual theme of Wild Blood: every positive seems to be counter-balanced by an unnecessary negative. The controls, story, gameplay -- even the visual engine itself, all seem to work against the elements that Gameloft do succeed in implementing. It's a shame because Wild Blood has the potential to be a must-have iOS title. Unfortunately, as it stands now, it's a mixed bag.
