Steam page coming soon — join the launch list below.
Bloodline is a cinematic 3D bullet hell about surgical mastery — and the explosive rewards you earn with it. Skim enemy fire at point-blank range to charge your hyper, then spend everything you've grazed on a screen-shredding burst, mid-combo, to keep the chain alive.
Returnal-grade spectacle. Arcade-pure soul.
The loop
Skim enemy fire to charge your hyper — then unleash it mid-combo as a homing missile storm and keep the chain alive. Surgical precision, rewarded by explosive power-fantasy bursts. Then straight back into the fire, one rank higher.
Risk is the resource.
Focus mode
Slip into focus: time slows, safe lanes light up, incoming hits flare red, and your ship arms a heavy laser. Read the storm. Thread the gap. Punish.
No top-down shmup can do this.
The camera
This isn't top-down. A dramatic third-person camera pulls you into the storm with real depth, weight, and dramatic light — built in Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen and Nanite.
Real depth. Real weight. Real light.
Proof of mastery
Deterministic, verifiable replays and online leaderboards — tuned for 60+ FPS on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Every ghost is real. Every run counts.
Field captures
All footage captured in-engine. Unreal Engine 5.
From the developer
Bloodline is a solo passion project: fifteen years of loving this genre, poured into the bullet hell I always wanted to make. Built by hand, in Unreal Engine 5, in my spare time. Follow the journey — and if you chase the score, wishlist it.
If you live for the one perfect run — the chain that never breaks, the graze that shouldn't have worked, the score that finally falls — Bloodline is built for you.
