A college student turns into a one-man wrecking crew in Acts of Blood. Revealed at Summer Game Fest, this brutal third-person beat‑em‑up sends players on a vengeance quest through a dystopian version of Bandung, Indonesia.
You take on the role of Hendra, a law student determined to avenge his family after the corrupt justice system protects their killers. The trailer shows fast-paced, close-quarters combat that blends punches, kicks, weapons, and parkour. The vibe echoes The Raid, but with the fluidity of Sifu and a dash of Mirror’s Edge for style.
The fighting system looks to be amazingly visceral and responsive. You’ll punch through crowds, grab items like bats and guns, and create chaos in destructible environments. One Reddit user points out how the combat mirrors iconic scenes from The Raid 2, calling it “a Raid game without needing the license,” while others compared it favorably to Arkham-style melee with Eastern flair.
Developed by Eksil Team and self-published on Steam, Acts of Blood will launch in Summer 2026 exclusively for PC (via Steam). While no console versions are confirmed, the demo, available since November 2024, has already drawn positive notice, with an 88 % overall rating from nearly 1,000 reviews and 76 % recent player approval.
The game’s strongest moments come from its gritty realism and brutal choreography. Broken pipes, bloodied bodies, and rapid-fire finishing moves all land with impact. The addition of firearms and parkour lets you flow through levels and escape danger in dramatic ways too.
If Acts of Blood delivers on both its demo and its promise, it could be one of the most intense beat‑’em‑ups to arrive in years, not even mentioning that it’s an indie game to boot. We’ll be tracking it into 2026—and that trailer alone already has us ready to suit up and throw down.
