* HellOnEarth: What Astaroth intends to unleash on mankind, and from the looks of the game's demon-infested verse, it's a success. Bloodhound must fight her army and take back the world.

--> Crush the Cult of Astaroth!
''Bloodhound'' is an arcade-style FirstPersonShooter developed by Polish studio Kruger & Flint Productions, described as a "mix of ''VideoGame/SeriousSam'' and ''VideoGame/{{Painkiller}}''".
The Demon Queen, Astaroth, had unleashed TheLegionsOfHell upon mankind, and the "Keeper of the Gates", order of Templars dedicated to fighting demonic forces, are humanity's last hope.
Naturally, you're the best of the Keepers, for you are the legendary Demon Slayer, Bloodhound, who must take on assorted minions of Astaroth ranging from cultists to bloodthirsty cherubs and winged demons of all sorts in a series of blood-soaked, action-packed levels.
----
!! First day in hell...
* AbandonedMine: One of the stages is set within an old mining shaft infested with demons.
* ActionBomb: The lesser demons with glowing, orange tumor-like growth on their bodies explodes on their own after a while. They'll expectedly tries getting closer to Bloodhound to chew him up and hope the subsequent explosion will deal extra damage.
* AirborneMooks:
** Demonic cherubs, who swoops from the air to attack Bloodhound in droves. Some of them, like a twisted version of Cupid, can fire arrows capable of hurting Bloodhound.
** Deformed flying Valkyries are another enemy type, and are far more durable than the Cherubs.
* AlwaysNight: There isn't a tiny silver of sunlight at any point of the game. [[AmbiguousSituation It's unknown]] whether Astaroth cursed the world into eternal darkness, or the entire game's events actually took place in one night.
* AutomaticCrossbows:
** Bloodhound can collect one of these, which fires ''exploding'' arrows on automatic. Instead of a barrel though, said crossbow's lower part is a ''rib cage''.
* The first boss, Creeper, a demon-human, uses a similar weapon, but his can fire dozens and dozens of round nonstop.
* BlackoutBasement: A few indoor stages are pitch-black, due to the night setting and absence of candles or torches. Visibility is limited to an illuminated circle from a torchlight attached to the front of Bloodhound's gun, and expectedly there will be more demons and monsters in the darkness.
* BigBad: Astaroth, the Queen of Demons who unleashed her brood on humanity. She's also the game's FinalBoss and puts up one literal hell of a fight.
* BulletTime: The "Slowing Time" power-up can make enemies move at half their speed for quite a while, allowing Bloodhound to rampage through mooks.
* CaptainErsatz: One of the bosses is a hulking, trenchcoat-clad ImplacableMan demon with huge claws in place of arms, a balding scarred face, assorted tentacles protruding from it's body and for extra subtlety, is called "[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Nemezis]]"
* ChainsawGood: One of the strongest demon variety uses a chainsaw as a weapon. As does Punk, a demon who wield a chainsaw and a flamethrower simultaneously.
* DyingCurse: [[spoiler:Astaroth lets out a pretty chilling one when she's slain, moments before the game ends]]. It's likely meant for setting up a SequelHook:
--> "My death means nothing, prophecy is fulfilled. A seed of holy blood opened the forbidden gates, The judgement time has come and hidden beasts will tear apart the world. The generals of hatred will take their places in crowns. Ravens will cry, the earth will run with blood. Salvation is lost, only suffering remains. Thank you Templar, you ''naive fool''."
* ExcusePlot: The game barely has one, other than there's a demoness and her army out there, and you're a demon-slaying badass. It's also incredibly straightforward for an FPS, the whole gameplay consisting of you traveling from Point A to B, and cutscenes which are skippable still frames that doesn't really add to the plot.
* FireBreathingWeapon: Punk, the demon boss with a flamethrower grafted into it's arm, and repeatedly tries incinerating Bloodhound in his boss fight. He also carries a [[ChainsawBood chainsaw]] on the other arm as a short-range alternative.
* GenderFlip: This is likely the only demon-themed game that depicts Astaroth as a female demon.
* GhostTown: Several levels takes place in dusty, Western-like towns, but infested with demons and cultists.
* GatlingGood: Like every good FPS game out there, Bloodhound can obtain a minigun and use it to chew up hordes and hordes of cultists and monsters.
* GunsAkimbo: Bloodhound starts off with dual revolvers to slay the forces of evil, twice as fast. More than one firearm can be dual-wielded too, with an upgrade.
* GratuitousLatin: The game opens with Bloodhound reading off the pages of a Bible, which is in Latin for... reasons. Specifically a verse from Apocalypsis 4:1. It has zilch impact on gameplay, other than an indication that the hero is part of some Holy Templars.
--> ''Post hæc vidi : et ecce ostium apertum in cælo, et vox prima, quam audivi tamquam tubæ loquentis mecum, dicens : Ascende huc, et ostendam tibi quæ oportet fieri post hæc.''
* HedgeMaze: There's one in the Garden of Hell, though it's rather straightforward and easy to find an exit.
* HulkingOut: When Bloodhound collects a hundred demon souls, he can access Demon Form that doubles the damage dealt on enemies.
* HunterOfMonsters: The Keeper of the Gates is an entire order of these, dedicated to fighting the forces of hell. Bloodhound, the player hero, is naturally their best.
* TheKlan: Astaroth's human minions inexplicably includes Klan members wearing stereotypical white KKK hoods and wielding automatics.
* LudicrousGibs: The graphics are as gory as you can imagine from an action-packed, demon-slaying game, with mooks - of both human and demon origin - bursting into fine sprays of red every time they're hit by heavy weaponry, exploding arrows or shot from close range.
* MonsterClown: Creeper, the first boss, is a demon clown who repeatedly tries roughing up Bloodhound with crossbows.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Astaroth's forces includes green, humanoid specters who ''can'' be harmed by Bloodhound's weapons. When killed they dissolve into orbs of light, rather than exploding into a fine bloody mess like other organic enemies.
* ProtagonistTitle: ''Bloodhound'', referring to your player-controlled protagonist.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset:
** Astaroth's human cultists wears masks made of cattle skulls.
** Additionally, several of Bloodhound's weapns, notably the [[{{BFG}} rocket launcher]] and automatic crossbow, is adorned with skulls. Unsure if they're real or ornamental, though.
* SuccubiAndIncubi: Succibi are another enemy type, depicted as scantily-clad, redheaded women with horns. And attacks Bloodhound [[FullFrontalAssault in the nude]].
* SwordBeam:
** Female cultists armed with curved swords can release a red, crescent-shaped projectile with each swing, which deals more damage than bullets.
** Astaroth alternates between summoning projectile attacks and swinging her sword, which release energy bolts, as a boss.
* {{Valkyries}}: This game contains ''zombified'' Valkyries, who could be {{Fallen angel}}s cast out of heaven and becoming part of Astaroth's army. The Valkyrie demon boss is a [[KingMook Queen Mook]].
