The first Matt Hazard game, Eat Lead, wasn’t very good, and the newest Hazard game, Blood Bath and Beyond, repeatedly acknowledges this fact. Self-deprecation kicks off the game, and paired with an admission that BBB’s forthcoming story will make little to no sense, sets you up for one of the wackiest games available both in terms of the nonsensical storyline and the boneheaded development decisions that make it a far less enjoyable game than it should be.
BBB is a return to Matt Hazard’s fictional back catalog of retro games, but as a side-scrolling shooter with 2.5D graphics, you might assume the controls would borrow the intuitive, dual-stick setup that Shadow Complex used (movement on the Left stick, aiming/firing on the Right). You’d be wrong.
