Splatter blood across the land through four massive zones, each with their own unique environments, characters, and secrets. Use satisfying and versatile sword techniques to shred enemies to pieces. Mutate your character with the mysterious red seeds, and learn new abilities from hidden characters.

    You take the role of a downtrodden swordsman of a nearly extinct race known as the birdmen. Years of training and battle leave you unfulfilled and without purpose, so one day, you leave home to discover the fate of your lost childhood love. Your quest for perspective is abruptly cut short when you are shot from the sky by a group of human warriors who specialize in trapping birdmen for use as slaves.

    You wake up with your wings clipped and sword confiscated, in a land ruled by a sadistic king who possesses a strange obsession with harvesting the mysterious "red seeds". You come to realize that the fate of the one you've been searching for is intertwined with the king's nefarious ambitions. In order to meet her again, you must get your hands on a sword, escape enslavement, and carve a path of blood to the ominous Spire City.

    Way of the Red is an acrobatic and quite challenging platformer game with questionable added value. The story does not impress, the technical side disappoints and the game ends too soon. Yet the trip into the world of bird creatures isn“t entirely useless, just because of flying and great fight variability.

    The best metroidvania I've played since Symphony of the Night (no kidding). Control is fantastic and very fluid.
