Playing Bella Wants Blood is satisfying in the same way pulling clogged hair from a shower drain is

In my ongoing mission to succinctly describe games without wasting your time, I often find myself using familiar phrases. So, when a game like horror tower defense Bella Wants Blood introduces unique terms like ‘Blood Gutters’, ‘The Rattler’, and ‘The Stabber’, it piques my interest. Bella Wants Blood is filled with stylized and intriguing elements that make every aspect of the game stand out.

Bella Wants Blood serves as both the title and a general overview of the game’s premise. Bella is a ravenous monster, and the more you learn about her, the more unsettling she becomes. As you construct a network of Blood Gutters to guide a variety of creepy creatures towards Bella, you must strategically place Stabbers and Rattlers to defend against them. You’ll navigate upgrade paths and encounters on a map between stages, aiming to progress as far as possible in a single run.

While Bella Wants Blood is a tower defense game at its core, it stands out due to its rich storytelling and immersive artwork. Bella herself is truly terrifying, and you’ll do everything in your power to keep her satisfied. It’s like being trapped in a survival horror scenario, with Bella as the menacing presence in the room. The demo for Bella Wants Blood is available on Steam.
