    I bought this game as it looked rather fun it was controls to me felt a little off but I got into the swing of thing solving puzzles avoiding enemy's and a lot of tension thankfully not all the way through
    was this a regretful purchase no as I actually began to enjoy it a side scrolling resi evil clone to be honest and thankfully even the puzzles seemed just like resi evils and of course    I bought this game as it looked rather fun it was controls to me felt a little off but I got into the swing of thing solving puzzles avoiding enemy's and a lot of tension thankfully not all the way through
    was this a regretful purchase no as I actually began to enjoy it a side scrolling resi evil clone to be honest and thankfully even the puzzles seemed just like resi evils and of course there were areas to go to that were never boring just nicely done decent artwork on a budget not bad at all and if that doesn't make you buy it then the sexy women in game will
    didn't cost me much so I wont slate it too much but Ill have to point out one thing that grated
    I beat it in just over 4 hours (no spoilers) and I died often I wanted more of the game thankfully there's another game RC2 may be time to play that too..with dinosaurs and even sexier women now that cant be too bad

    Red Colony very much feels like a first draft of a game, from graphics, to script, to programming, that was somehow released on the eShop as a finished product. This would be like buying a puzzle, finishing the border, and declaring it completed. Frankly, I’m not sure how anybody could look at this game and think it was ready for prime time. If the bugs weren’t there, it might get by on its “so bad it’s good” appeal, but in its current state, it’s a disaster. Homie Rollerz, you finally have some competition.

    Overall, Red Colony is a fun game, but not a great game. I think if the dialogue was polished up, if the weapon system was rebalanced some, and if the puzzles were just a little more challenging, this game could have been something special. Like a house in need of work, it’s got solid bones. It just needs to be spruced up a bit. As it stands, you can beat the game in under 3 hours. I was entertained during my hours with the game, and I got several enjoyable jolts of adrenaline for my troubles. If you can look past the flaws, I think you’ll find an enjoyable experience.

    With all of that said, like I said at the start of the review, this is the Plan 9 From Outer Space of video games, and taken in that context, it's still a weirdly good time, and may well end up earning itself a similar cult classic status for it.
