Reception and legacy ReceptionReview scoresPublicationScore7.375/.3/106.0/10Joypad80/100Reviews for Overblood were mixed, with critics generally commenting that it has enough interesting elements to make it respectable, but is ultimately not worth buying. The most frequent criticism was that the game is too slow-paced and lacking in tension, with too much time spent wandering corridors and opening doors, relatively little time spent on puzzles, and far too little time spent on action sequences. Compounding this problem, many critics found the action sequences too simplistic. Joe Fielder elaborated in that 'They entail moving at just the right moment and are more timing than skill-based.' The need to switch between three different playable characters in order to solve certain puzzles was often cited as one of OverBlood 's most interesting aspects. Some also praised the story.

IGN stated, ' OverBlood attempts to recreate the moodiness and horror of Resident Evil but never quite succeeds.' Crispin Boyer of made the same unfavorable comparison to Resident Evil, but concluded more positively: 'That's OK, because Overblood is still an engrossing adventure. That packs a solid mix of puzzles and exploration.' , by contradiction, stated that 'Despite the excellent graphics, the game just can't hold a player's interest.
