In Blood Bath at Red Falls, players take on the role of a sheriff in a first-person shooter set in a crime-ridden town.

Criminals pop up from behind cover, and the player must shoot them before they shoot back. The player does not move and relies solely on speed and precision. Enemies range from escaped convicts in orange jumpsuits to their liberators in green and black, all animated via motion-capture. On each screen the player must eliminate enough enemies until told the "Area Secured," then moved to the next. Some foes surrender with hands raised—spare them, and the player is rewarded with power-ups like extra lives, ammunition, or better weapons. The game offers three difficulty levels—Easy, Bring It On, and Bad Ass—each with its own Hall of Fame tracking accuracy and kill counts. Graphically, the game leans into its name: blood sprays from wounds, bullet holes scar the scenery, and the digitized visuals are drawn from live-action footage. Sound design features gunfire and death groans, with QuickTime cutscenes.

Blood Bath at Red Falls was developed by UnderWorld Software, a company based in Marina del Rey, California. It was the first release from the studio. The game was published by American Laser Games.
