Vita developer Rinnegatamante strikes again, today with a port of Blood for the PS Vita!

What is Blood for PS vita?

Long story short, jfblood-vita will let you enjoy old-school FPS Blood, a 1997 game based on the Build engine.

More specifically, this is a backport of NBlood (itself a port of Blood) to JFBuild.

This isn’t the first time Rinne’s ported a Build Engine game to the PS Vita, so it probably means he’s been reusing some of the Build Engine code from his Shadow Warrior port, for this release.

“The game follows the story of Caleb, an undead early 20th century gunslinger seeking revenge against the dark god Tchernobog” says the release. Blood was super cool back in the late nineties, built with the power of the engine that had Made duke3D so awesome. Gamespot said at the time: “It’s derivative, it’s violent, and definitely tasteless at times – but it’s almost always fun.” (I personally preferred its sequel, Blood II because I loved its 3D graphics, but it got panned by the critics at the time).

Below’s a video of how the game performs on the Vita:
