Crossbow: Bloodnight

About

Crossbow: Bloodnight is a fast-paced arena shooter where you play as a hunter armed with an automatic crossbow in a battle against endless waves of demons. The goal is simple: survive as long as possible while racking up points by dispatching grotesque enemies in a packed arena. Each round ramps up the chaos as faster, tougher creatures descend, forcing you to master rapid fire, dodges, and timed power-ups. The loop is straightforward but intense, die, reset, and try to outlast the horde just a little longer each time. The game leans into its campy horror aesthetic with over-the-top gore and a storyline tying the crossbow’s cursed history to 17th-century London. Its retro arcade vibe and punishing difficulty have earned it a niche following, particularly among fans of twitchy, high-score driven action. With support for modern consoles and PC, it’s a throwback formula that’s easy to pick up but tough to master. The single-player focus means no distractions, just you, a crossbow, and a flood of hellspawn.

Storyline

In the year 1139, the Second Council of the Lateran convened by Pope Innocent II has pronounced anathema on the use of crossbow. The council saw its unstoppable power as ungodly, demonic by nature. They were not entirely wrong. The Coven of Crossbow, an ancient order of hunters sworn to guard the balance between the forces of heaven and hell prevailed against all odds. In the year 1666, as fire and plague ravage London, the Coven is facing its greatest challenge yet. The Ancient Horror from Beyond makes its way towards our reality. In its wake, legions of nightmare creatures spawn in the darkness. The Bloodnight is upon us, let the hunt begin!
