Loaded, known as Blood Factory (ブラッドファクトリー) in Japan, is an action game developed by Gremlin Interactive and published by Interplay for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation. It's played from a top-down perspective similar to games such as The Chaos Engine, but uses a mix of prerendered sprites and polygons to display the game world. 6 different characters are available for play. Gore content is very high. A sequel, Re-Loaded, was going to be released for the Saturn but it ended up appearing only on PlayStation and PC.
