Hunting plays a much smaller role and crafting has been eliminated altogether. One big changes is, unlike Far Cry 3, your skills are unlocked automatically as you level, rather than by ‘choosing your path’. While Blood Dragon strips down or eliminates some of its retail predecessor’s features in order to concentrate on a different, faster pacing, these changes allow for an experience that is incredibly well-designed. Newcomers shouldn't be afraid to jump in and will catch on to all of the mechanics very quickly. Many of the game’s mechanics and abilities carry over, and some are unlocked from the beginning, giving those familiar with Far Cry 3 the tools to succeed from the get go without any of the hand holding. If you’ve played Far Cry 3, you’ll feel right at home with Blood Dragon. Then there’s Colonel Sloan, a villain who looks like he was ripped right out a G.I. Elizabeth Veronica Darling, personifies everything guys wanted in a woman in the 1980s: short hair and lots of syllables in their name. “Spider” Brown is your bro-tastic comrade in the field and token tough guy. The supporting cast is excellent as well. Rex is like Duke Nukem without being obnoxious. Some may get sick of the one liners repeated throughout the game but the cutscene banter is terribly funny. The dialogue is crude but never forced, delivered perfectly, and hilarious.

The man behind the voice, action movie veteran Michael Biehn, really brings Rex to life.
He’s half man, half cyborg, and although he’s foul-mouthed and crass, he has an undying love for serving his country. This makes no difference for the game’s protagonist, Rex Power Colt. You can’t go to the beach and soak up rays in the apocalypse. Compared to its cousin, the retail title Far Cry 3 Achievements, the setting of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon seems to always be the victim of bad weather, with lightning strikes randomly gracing the sky and not a peep of sunlight. The desolate feel evokes a Mad Max kind of vibe (late 70s film but close enough), although much darker and injected with some neon. The world has been ravaged by nuclear war, leaving a broken civilization. From the very get go Blood Dragon sets the tone with a grim outlook of the future.
