Illbleed is one of the most absurd, hilarious games I've played. There's nothing quite like it.

I'm sure anyone who has played Illbleed will agree.

Its gameplay and resource management are unlike anything I've encountered in a survival horror title. Illbleed nails the campy, tongue-in-cheek B-movie horror humor. The amount of absurd scenarios and characters the game tosses your wave always keeps you wondering what's coming next.

And like many games from this era, Illbleed fell into obscurity and became a rarity to find. It launched as a Dreamcast exclusive in the spring of 2001. A few weeks before Sega discontinued hardware production of the Dreamcast. An Xbox port of Illbleed never came to fruition.

With Sega announcing they're bringing back several IPs, from remasters to remakes, I was hoping they'd do a remaster of Illbleed. That said, Illbleed seems to be in an IP rights limbo. It's not clear who has ownership of the IP. Unlike Blue Stinger, the studio's previous title, its ownership seems to be up in the air.

Leaving you with a couple of options for playing Illbleed. Emulation, like I'm doing here, or buying a copy for an inflated price.

Illbleed deserves its due. While it is a bit rough around the edges, it's one of the more memorable games I've played, for a variety of reasons.
