Game summary

"BLOOM is a fast paced frenetic action first person shooter indie game inspired by the classics like Doom, Quake, Blood, Heretic, Hexen, Duke Nukem and the rest of the `90s FPS giants. Simplistic, nononsense, shoot everything that moves. Three episodes with tons of actions, dozens of monsters, over a dozen of weapons, secrets and everything you'd expect from a retro shooter game. Two-handed sword, gauss crossbow, pistols, sub machine guns, pump shotgun, double barreled shotgun, rifle, laser, minigun, plasma gun, grenade launcher, bazooka, ray gun, chain lightning gun plus a few secret weapons will be your tools of dealing with demon summoners in dark forests, toxic caves, concrete tunnels, castles, demon realms, spilling rivers of pixelated blood to heavy metal tunes!"

Play Bloom on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Bloom on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Bloom installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Bloom like you would on any PC.
