"Illbleed scores major points for twisted originality, even if unfocused and clunky execution keeps it from turning horror on its gory, severed ear."
GameSpot
"Because its core play mechanics start to wear on you after even a few hours of playing, anything beyond a quick look makes little sense." Review by Miguel Lopez.

"I can appreciate the effort that went into the unique gameplay mechanics of Illbleed, but the clumsy controls and frustrating camera angles, make this game pretty difficult to play."

"Control and camera issues, and the strange stop-n-go gameplay that Illbleed sports may be too annoying to make people want to endure the game's six levels. If you can get past those problems, then you may find something that is actually pretty enjoyable." Review By digitaltaco.
