Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds is an action beat-them-up game, the game is based on a supernatural drama series holding the same name. The story follows Buffy as she tries to take on The First, a reincarnation of evil trying to put the world into darkness. Together with her friends, Buffy must fight vampires, zombies, and demons to reach her goal.

While the story might seem cheesy and overused, the gameplay is fairly good. The game is seen from a third-person perspective, where the player can use various weapons to beat the enemies. Weapons can vary depending on the chosen characters. Most weapons are melee based including hand-to-hand combat, a knife, and a sword. Graphic wise the game aged very well offering accurate character models and surprisingly good combat physics. On the whole, the game is fine, i think the fans of the series will enjoy it more but still, i recommend it for beat-them-up fans too.
