Jon of RGN writes, "This is one of the more well polished indie games that obviously has been given a lot of play-testing and thought to its design. tons of fun, easy to jump in as well as come back to and yet still challenges you. It’s an excellent top-down shooter with excellent quality to it and a lot of thought put into it. Particular aspects that stand out include level design, fun factor, and replay value. Once Quest Mode is defeated in all difficulties (which will take you a good chunk of sessions), the endless survival modes are kept fresh by all of the perks and weapons you’ve unlocked. The only real down point of this game is that it doesn’t have online multiplayer, and even though it does have local co-op, that just feels like a slap in the face. But it’s a slap in the face you’ll gladly take once you discover how awesome this game is!"
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.
