About this game

Blood Valley is a fantasy action-arcade game inspired by a pair of 1986 gamebooks. Players control The Quarry, a slave who is temporarily allowed to run free in the valley of Gad while being hunted by its ruler, the Archveult.

Choose between a barbarian, priest, or thief, then fight through recurring enemies, collect loot, and complete incremental objectives while staying on the move. Victory requires escaping the valley or defeating the hunter. A second player can control the Archveult in split-screen mode.
