6 itemsAbout the Game
Bloodmatch is a first-person arena battler, boasting brutal melee combat, branching paths, and a menagerie of bloodthirsty opponents - from vicious wild beasts to brutal barbarians. Take your combatant through multiple arenas on your quest for freedom and valour - and give your callous crowd a show they’ll never forget.
From Rags to Roma - Rise through the ranks of the gladiatorial circuit to become the land’s most fearsome fighter, starting as a lowly slave and slowly becoming the ultimate period pugilist.
Blades, Blood, and Broadswords - Wield maces, longswords, spears and hammers with the age-authentic arsenal you’ve come to expect from DOSMan games.
Rend and Repeat - Branching paths and randomised weapon drops make for an unpredictable - and highly replayable - rampage through the ranks.
A Match Made in Hell - From one-on-one battles to high-intensity gauntlets, the rules of the ring are always evolving - so pick your battles wisely.
Mettle Meets Metal - Rock out to a punchy Metal-coded acoustic OST by Bret Ware - guitarist and vocalist of UK metal band ZILF.
Bloodmatch is another bite-sized brawler from the folk at DOSMan games, combining their trademark pixel art, unforgettable soundtrack, and pick-up-and-play mentality.
