Reception

Wild Blood mixed or average reviews, resulting in a Metacritic score of 70/100.[2] The game received 7/10 from IGN's Justin Davis, who praised its "incredible visuals" and "varied and satisfying combat", but criticized "frustrating camera and control issues hold[ing] the title back from greatness,"[4] a sentiment shared by Andrew Grush from Mobile Magazine[5] and by Andrew Nesvadba from AppSpy, who rated it a 4/5 (Good).[6] CNET's Rick Broida called it "groundbreaking" and "console quality" game that is "a blast to play,"[7] yet TouchArcade's Eric Ford awarded the game just three stars out of five, opining "every positive seems to be counter-balanced by an unnecessary negative" and concluded "it's a mixed bag."[3] On the other hand, 148Apps's Michael Halloran gave it a near-perfect four-and-half star rating, especially praising its graphics and also sound,[8] while Gamereactor's Lee West gave it a 9/10.[9] AppAdvice's Sean Capelle too noted the "stunning" graphics" that, "combined with the adrenaline-fueled gameplay, make this an addictive game to be reckoned with."[10] Eurogamer's Alberto Destro, however, lambasted "overly repetitive gameplay mechanics combined with a total lack of experimenting transform a promising hack and slash in a sterile button mashing in medieval sauce."[11] According to Pocket Gamer's Harry Slater, due to this it "is only fun in small bursts."[12] Slide to Play review stated: "If you're looking for a pretty fun game that's full of amazing sights and sounds, then Wild Blood is for you. If you're looking for original gameplay, then you may want to look elsewhere."[13]
