Aug 2, 2022It’s not the most precise or compelling 2D Metroidvania, but what REDSHOT lacks in subtlety it makes up for in likeability.

Aug 1, 2022REDSHOT is a game that genuinely surprised me in the best way possible. The mixture of smooth platforming elements, tied in with seamless bullet time gunplay, made for an overall enthralling experience. The stellar art direction, and equally as impressive OST, capture the isolated mood of the alien plant immaculately. While the story does have one or two captivating moments, it ultimately ends without any real resolution. Overall, REDSHOT is a heck of a lot of fun, with a unique twist on the Metroidvania genre. If you enjoyed titles like Hollow Knight, Dead Cells or Bloodstained, then I recommend you check this one out.
