    A surprisingly moreish zom-bomber. [Dec 2009, p.109]
  2. Nation Red is not as simplistic as Legion of Man, DiezelPower’s previous creation, but it’s still dull and unimpressive.

    I can't fault this game for support, the devs are on the Steam forums daily checking for problems or keeping us up-to-date with what newI can't fault this game for support, the devs are on the Steam forums daily checking for problems or keeping us up-to-date with what new features/changes are coming with the upcoming patch. It is the best supported indie game I've seen on the Steam forums!

    The game is a top-down zombie shooter and fast-paced play but lots of fun too. I've put a lot of hours into this game and it never gets boring, the constant updates which include 4 player co-op, weapon upgrades, perk upgrades and new achievements, etc. keep the game fresh.

Of course you can play with strangers online, but it's just cooler to form a team and see how far can you get. Survival mode of this game is one of the most intense and interesting cooperative online play that I experienced. The game seems to be inspired by Crimsonland which I love very much. I still think Crimsonland is better in it's simplicity, but Nation Red provides more fun because of 4 player survival coop. Great thing about this game is that the developer is very devoted to it, patches and improvements continue to be made and players' opinion is really being heard on Steam forums. For the price tag this game has it provides so much fun that I would call it a must have. Expand

    Nation Red is a much needed reincarnation from the likes of Crimsonland and Smash TV. It stays true to it roots, so don't expect a big storyNation Red is a much needed reincarnation from the likes of Crimsonland and Smash TV. It stays true to it roots, so don't expect a big story or traversal to the likes of Left 4 Dead. It is an arena shooter that sends you back to the arcade days. We have come to a time where local highscore tables are dead, the game however offers you online friends leaderboards and achievements to still be able to chase score goals. The support the game received is unmatched by any other developer, not even Valve. When the game came out it was somewhat clunky and had a tiny featurelist, but what felt like 200+ updates, each taking community suggestions into account it became the best of its genre. Now take the low price into account and it is a no-brainer if you are even slightly interested into this style of game. If it's the best of its genre, then why isn't it a 10? 10's and 0's are the furthest of the spectrum and I could not think of a single game that would deserve a 0 or 10. So yes, Nation Red is near perfect at what it is and I can only recommend it to everyone who likes chasing scores. Expand

The game plays from a top-down angle with an overhead crosshair, or you can zoom to a (less viable but more visual) diagonal camera perspective. There are over 20 weapons to play with, such as the Berretta 93r, M1014 shotgun, AA-12, Dual Uzis, MP5k, Mac10, Nailgun, M16, AK-47, M240B, Minigun, Flamethrower and M79 grenade launcher. There are also over 70 perks to collect with each level you earn and many possible builds to fit your playstyle. There are a number of power-up drops like bullet time (slow motion), sentry guns, proxy mines, shield vests and uranium bullets. More weapons, perks and power-ups being added regularly with constant updates from the developers to the likes of (and inspired by) Team Fortress 2.

    Many features are still very new, like co-op and barricade modes and do have their issues, but they are constantly being worked on. This is a game that will start off good and just get's better and better with each update. The community forums are filled with new ideas and suggestions and the developers actually reply to a lot of them and have a lot of plans for future updates.

    There is currently 2-player multiplayer which you can play either co-operatively with shared XP on or off. But there is also a very interesting 'Anti-Perk' mode which pitts both players against each other and allows special perk upgrades that are built specifically to hinder another players survival capabilities.

    With an upcoming class based 4-player co-op mode being introduced soon, as well as many other features and overhauls, Nation Red is one of those games that I can always go back to. No other game does top-down zombies THIS good!

    Nation red is like a fire work. It's fun and exciting while it lasts but once it's over it's over. It's gory good fun especially with friendsNation red is like a fire work. It's fun and exciting while it lasts but once it's over it's over. It's gory good fun especially with friends but there's nothing to keep you coming back despite all the game modes and it will easily become of of those games that you like but only ever play it when your friends want to. Ten dollars almost seems a bit steep if you want every penny to count now a days but if you just want to have fun then nation red is a good choice. Expand

    Isometric "zombie" survival co-op. You unlock skills when you level up but it becomes a hassle since you can't pause properly to select themIsometric "zombie" survival co-op. You unlock skills when you level up but it becomes a hassle since you can't pause properly to select them in multiplayer. Too shallow and too few maps/gameplay modes. Ugly, repetitive, and frustrating to control. No redeeming values that I can think of besides the fact that it is playable. Expand
