We all know how twin-stick shooters work by now, right? You’ve got your controller with two analog sticks (or a mouse and keyboard for you traditionalists out there), an arsenal of guns, an army of baddies and a score tracker. While variations do exist (shoot through space, shoot through zombies, etc.), it’s hardly a revolutionary genre, albeit an extremely fun one. On that note, let’s talk about Crimsonland, a somewhat generic top-down twin-stick shooter that manages to squeeze a ton of fun out of its premise.
Like that old Ronseal advert from the noughties, Crimsonland does exactly what it says on the tin: It delivers buckets buckets of blood that’ll paint your screen as sanguine as a vintage bottle of cabernet sauvignon.
Crimsonland is a 14 year-old shooter finally making its way to the Switch. How does it fare against modern titles that have technology on their side?
COGconnected - Crimsonland, now on the Switch, is an entertaining guilty pleasure but it’s tough to ignore its generic graphics, sound and bland campaign mode.
