Bloodstorm: Alien Purge – Full Demo Playthrough with RS3 Reaper Lightguns

The aliens are here—and they’re bullet sponges.

Welcome to Bloodstorm: Alien Purge!

Built in Unreal Engine 5 by solo dev Firm-Recipe-703, Bloodstorm is a gritty, over-the-top on-rails shooter packed with mutants, gore, and nonstop action. If you grew up on House of the Dead, Time Crisis, or Virtua Cop—this is your kind of chaos.

I played through the demo using my RS3 Reaper lightguns from RetroShooter. Everything worked great but I couldn’t map the weapon-swap button to the gun, so I had to use the mouse scroll button to switch weapons. Despite some minor graphical pop-ins from asset streaming, I had a blast. The enemies are real damage sponges, but the gameplay delivers the B-movie energy promised. I never encountered any bugs. You can tell this is a passion project—a real labor of love for the genre. I can’t wait to buy the full game and run through it start to finish.

Bloodstorm is a fast-paced, first-person rail shooter demo available now on Steam. It puts you on a high-speed ride through mutant-infested facilities where your only goal is to survive, rack up combos, and paint the walls red.

✅ Classic on-rails gameplay (no free movement).

✅ Built entirely in Unreal Engine 5.

✅ Waves of grotesque mutant enemies with extreme gore.

✅ No reload mechanic—just pull that trigger and go.
