Bloodsports.TV Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Bloodsports.TV Review   At the same time, Bloodsports.TV is familiar yet alien. It makes no qualms about directly lifting certain design aspects from other popular MOBAs, but adds a zesty flavor that’s actually missing in most of these games. Set in the same universe as Krater: Shadows over Solside, it features a similar aesthetic style as well as the atmosphere, but is in essence a very diff...[Read More]
