Tapan Kaikki: Bloodshed (I will kill everyone in English) is a freeware, game developed by the Finnish Errorfree Productions. It is the fourth game in the Tapan Kaikki series, coming after the original Tapan Kaikki, Tapan Kaikki 2 and Ultimate TK.

[edit] Overview

This game has no real story, your only objective is to kill everyone you happen to see. It is a 2D game with pseudo 3D walls which can be different heights depending on the level. A darkness system is also used similar to fog in various strategy games, mening that places out of your sight will be darker, and you can't see characters moving in the dark.

Tapan Kaikki: Bloodshed offers a single player mode with various campaigns that you can play through, and a multi player offering both a co-operative playing mode and a deathmatch mode.

[edit] Gameplay

When you start the game, you are empty handed but weapons can be found from the ground. Every weapon has a limited amount of ammo, but you can find more on from the ground, or purchase them from the shop which you can access between levels (not accessible in deathmatch). The game offers a variety of enemies that have weapons ranging from ordinary pistols to rocket launchers.

The player can also get various weapons, either from the ground or by purchasing them from the shop by using cash. Cash can be found in levels and killing enemies also gives you cash. If you finish off a level real fst you might also get a lot of bonus cash for it.

If you play single player the only game mode available is the campaign mode. In the campaign mode your mission is to kill all the enemies and you'll advance to the next level. There are many different campaigns available having different grades of difficulty. If you can get someone to play with you, you can get the real fun out of the game by either playing co-operative through the normal single players campaigns or have a real nice deathmatch with your friend.

The game also comes bundled with a map editor that will allow you to create your own maps, for deatmatch or alternatively you could also create a campaign of your own. The official map editor can be a bit painfully slow to use at certain situations, but there are some unofficial map editors also out there, and creating a map using one of them can be a lot faster than using the official editor.
