In Blood of Mehran, explore sweeping sand dunes, bustling bazaars and sprawling palaces. Go blade to blade with enemies, pick them off from a distance with your arrows, or slip by them like a ghost. Level up and build your legend.
If you go in expecting a terrible game – say, one of the worst games of the year – then you may be pleasantly surprised. For all its flaws, it’s actually kind of fun.
Blood of Mehran is a wasted opportunity. A compelling concept is buried under repetitive gameplay, a weak story, and technical problems, highlighting a critical need for innovation in Persian game development.
Blood of Mehran attempts to recapture the glory of the golden age of linear action games, but it stumbles between ambition and reality. The game has a charming artistic vision and a haunting soundtrack, but weak combat, poor technical performance, and a mediocre narrative make it an incoherent experience. There are moments of promise, but they are lost...
Blood of Mehran unfortunately lacks its own independent identity. The game wanders between an Eastern epic narrative and an imitation of Western formulas, and ultimately does neither well. There is no fresh approach to the game's story, no gameplay, and no cohesive visuals. The result is a game that could have been distinctive and respectable, but remains...
Poor combat and stealth only serve to highlight the rest of the issues with Blood of Mehran, and far too soon does it become a slog to play rather than the epic Arabian adventure it could have been.
