Arcade Mode aims to bring the fast paced point accumulation action similar to that seen in Doom 2016 to Blood. Paint the town red and kill everything you see to increase your points and score multiplier. Collect Skulls to further increase your multiplier and go into a Bloodlust that will increase your multiplier, make you move faster, jump higher, take less damage, and release a devastating AOE blast that will take out all nearby enemies. It's time to get your hands bloody!
