Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood is a self acclaimed ‘cartoon-style third-person shooter’. It has about 10 complete levels, over 10 weapons, and a customizable character. There isn’t really a story in this game, you are a part of the French Foreign Legion, an international wing of the French army (not necessarily the French one, look it up at Wikipedia). Except for the “You take the role of a last-standing hard-boiled Legionnaire taking on an entire rebel army”, from the official description and the title, the game has absolutely nothing to do with any Foreign Legion army. The rebel army, you ask? Same story as in the title, doesn’t come back in the game, only a few words in the description. In the 10 missions there are different challenges, from protecting some oil pipes, to a last stand mode. With each kill you make, you get tons of blood, all this blood is counted in buckets, for every bucket you get around 1 dollar and a (very) little bit of XP. You also get a reward in accordance with the difficulty level you play on. With this money you can buy weapons, clothing and accessories (after unlocking them depending on your level). This makes a pretty decent system, but still nothing special. After completing a level, you unlock the next, of a variable set of maps. With a fantastic level at the end! The game itself is a little bit glitchy, but not that you feel it. It’s a shame that there isn’t a multiplayer, but for that, you gotta play the next game in this serie: FoL: Multi Massacre. Multiplayer and Foreign Legion feels like bread and butter, if you know what I mean.

Conclusion: I don’t know why, but I couldn’t stop playing this game when I did, it has a very addictive gameplay and a nice graphical style. It’s just so fun, progressing in this game! But don’t buy it unless when it is on a deal. It’s not that it isn’t worth it, but you can get it for a buck(et) when the time is right.
