#CRIMSONLAND 2003 FULL#
It’s fast, full of enemies, and has a sweet soundtrack to boot. None of this destroys the core gameplay but it is a bit of a hindrance.Īlthough fans of the original may take issue with this remake, it seems solid from my perspective. All in all, there’s not very much customization which is expected in most modern game releases. Similarly, it has a very huge GUI which seems smart for consoles but not so much on PC. For one, it has no resolution options beyond windowed and fullscreen mode. Because of the amount of enemies present on screen, Crimsonland just wouldn’t work as well with online multiplayer. Whatever mode you’re in also has room for local co-op for up to four players. Survival is fun because at the end of each level you get to access a new perk to help aid in the slaughter of helpless monsters. These range from the typical survival to slightly more creative (sometimes incredibly tough) endeavors. In any case, as long as you can get through those then you’re ready to take on the rest that Crimsonland has to offer.īeyond the quest mode there’s a variety of survival modes to try out. At those times it jumps to basically end-game level difficulty which is really odd. For the most part, difficulty increases appropriately, but not on a few choice stages. Early on, there’s a stage in particular that is sure to drive a few players mad thanks to spider enemies that split into smaller spiders. You’ll want to use them when strategically necessary, which is a bit tough considering they disappear after being left untouched for long enough.Įnemies vary in type from pure cannon fodder to seriously annoying. Of course, it’s not just enough to run over these icons willy nilly. Running over these unleash a variety of special skills or will grant you a new weapon to use. There’s a need to keep an eye out for openings between enemy groupings to dodge between them, but also be alert for item drops. However, you’ll quickly find the lack of astonishing artwork is quickly forgotten the minute enemies rush toward your character.Īs soon as Crimsonland starts to crank up its difficulty all you can do is focus on making it out of stages alive. The backdrops themselves are nothing special and effectively uninspiring. Each level is larger than the game window, meaning there is some scrolling when moving left, right, and whatnot. This mode basically sets up stage after stage of bloody showdowns and hopes you can keep up. Players should probably start out in quest mode since they’ll gain access to new perks and weapons through completing it. There are a variety of stages and gameplay modes but they basically all boil down to the same general rule – shoot everything until you are the only one standing. Both work well, although mouse control provides more precise aiming most of the time. Players can choose to control it via mouse and keyboard combo or simply plug in a gamepad. Having never played the original, my review is from the perspective of a gamer completely fresh to Crimsonland – and one who holds the title up to 2014 standards.Ĭrimsonland is a twin-stick shooter with a top down perspective.
#CRIMSONLAND 2003 PC#
It’s apparent that developer 10tons never forgot about their project and recently started about remaking it for PC and consoles. In fact, the game originally launched back in 2003. The name Crimsonland might be familiar to you.
