Jan 28, 2021Redout: Space Assault is an unexpected departure for the series but is a solid, enjoyable and reasonably polished experience let down initially by slightly unintuitive controls, some missions that don't really land and visuals that can be a bit cluttered. Stick with it though and this is definitely worth playing.

Feb 3, 2021Most players will probably blast through Redout: Space Assault in just a few hours. It’s a game that doesn’t try to do anything special, but it provides enough entertainment, particularly if you enjoy some arcade-style space-shooting action. And for less than a tenner, that’s fair enough.

Jan 30, 2021It may offer solid space combat but Redout: Space Assault's lack of ambition to try anything new holds it back from being special.

Apr 28, 2021It’s understandable that 34BigThings would want to trade on the name that made them, Redout, but I’m not sure this spin-off prequel is the right way about it. Fans of the original Redout game will no doubt be disappointed in the flip away from futuristic racer to mundane arcade shooter. There’s some simple fun to be had but don’t go jumping into this one expecting any depth unless you want broken ankles.

Feb 3, 2021Redout Space Assault feels like two games; an enjoyable arcade shooter on rails, and a free-movement space-sim with no exploration. Glitches, unbalanced difficulty, and a lack of any worthwhile story weigh down what could have been much better.

Jan 25, 2021In no way, shape or form could Redout: Space Assault be considered required playing. It’s simplistic and more than a little disappointing for what the developer can actually produce. That doesn’t mean it’s without any merit, though. Folks looking for a new Starfox type game will find plenty to enjoy here so long as they know that there are some lumps in the gravy. When it’s hitting its mark, this is an extremely exciting game. When it stumbles, though, it stumbles hard. For the budget price, there are worse ways to spend an afternoon, but there isn’t anything here to justify more than that one afternoon.

Jan 29, 2021Redout: Space Assault dabbles in numerous space shooter concepts but doesn't strike a chord with any of them.
-
Jan 25, 2021The original Redout may not have been the best racing game out there, but it did have a lot of heart and felt like a continuation of the long dormant F-Zero franchise. Redout: Space Assault on the other hand tries to enter a well-worn genre but provides nothing new or interesting to keep players engaged. Those who were looking for the next Star Fox will be better suited looking somewhere other than Redout: Space Assault, but it's a playable entry into a genre that plenty of invested fans are constantly looking for more titles in, so it's still got a place among diehard players.
-
Feb 1, 2021Don't be fooled by the impressive visuals. This dated and deeply unsatisfying arcade shooter manages to make space combat feel flimsy, boring and anything but immersive. Perhaps on a mobile phone, its limitations can be overlooked but on a console it's not worth bothering with.
