YMMV / Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds

• Anti-Climax Boss:
  • Ripper, despite the buildup to Buffy's confrontation with him, is really not up to much as far as fighting goes.
  • Anyanka is even worse, you can kill her with a single hit if you use a bottle of hellfire.
  • Despite his appearance below, the game actively acts to prevent this with Kakistos - notice that you can never throw him to the ground like every other enemy? That's because the game mechanics allow ANY vampire lying on the ground to be dusted, regardless of health.
• Badass Decay: In "Faith, Hope and Trick", Kakistos was so tough he could shrug off a regular old stake and it took a freaking support beam through the heart to put him down . Here, anything pointy will do the trick.
• Demonic Spiders: The general mooks of the game are this. Since vampires, and demons, can only be killed by something holy, fire or being staked it means every single enemy is immortal unless you're carrying the right weapon. Many levels start your characters off without so much as a stake, meaning that, with the exception of Willow, every single character can be killed off by the very first enemies of their levels if they don't locate a weapon fast enough.
• Game-Breaker: Willow once she learns the shield and homing missile spells. She can kill anything but bosses in one hit and doesn't even need to aim.
• Ho Yay: Willow keeps referring to Tara as "sweetie", and makes a comment on playing doctors and nurses with her. As an alternate world vampire, Tara says Willow is a domme.
• No Problem with Licensed Games: Like the previous game, it was well received by fans, it featured the voices of most of the cast and featured excellent gameplay and a good overall story arc since it was scripted by the main show writers and based on a lost episode of the series itself.
• Unexpected Character: The main playable cast features most of the Scooby gang plus fan favorites Spike and Faith... and Sid the Dummy, a one-shot character from way back in "The Puppet Show".
