What is the blood message?

The story of the Blood Message is deeply rooted in Chinese history

Instead of putting players in the shoes of a powerful soldier, supernatural deity or world leader, blood message Focuses on relatively generic characters, which the game's developers say is by design. The game is about regular people trying to survive amidst extraordinary historical events.

The extraordinary historical events in question here relate to the Shazhou Rebellion.

Although it is not entirely clear why the son, who appears to be only a teenager, is embarking on this journey with his father, the pair could make for a classic “sad dad” story, for better or worse.

This, combined with the hero's slow, brutal fighting style, makes it stronger god of war Comparisons have been drawn by the game's cinematic approach, not to mention its apparent adherence to AAA tropes such as squeezing tight corridors.
