    Crimsonland is now up there with Super Stardust HD as one of my favourite twin-stick shooters. It may not blow you away with the visuals, but looks certainly don’t matter when it’s packing this much content. Added to the fact that the Xbox One version includes new content, this is a must buy for fans of the genre and for those looking for a fun co-op experience.

    I would recommend this game if you liked Dead Nation as its easy to pick up and play in short or long gameplay sessions.

    A simple, immediate and gory twin-stick shooter, with lots of content but a bit too repetitive.

    It'll definitely be one that you'll pick up every now and again for a quick hour of cathartic Survival mode gunplay though, that's for sure.

    Don't be fooled by its simplistic, retro visual stylings. Crimsonland is enormous fun, and the perfect game to dip in and out of on occasion.

    There may be many technical shortcomings, but it’s difficult not to have fun with its simplistic yet utterly enjoyable gameplay, especially in co-op.

    A simple, but enjoyable shooter that presents endless screens of enemy hordes to blast through. It's not particularly original, and doesn't look or sound that great - but Crimsonland nevertheless provides a fun challenge for those who might enjoy a game whose roots can be traced straight back to Robotron 2084.

    The gameplay is mostly sound, but indeed too traditional. There's no support for online play either, so you're stuck with local coop. That, and limited replay value, make this a game just for hardcore genre fans.

    Simple and proud, 10tons' retro shooter offers large-scale murderisation for you and some friends - just don’t expect much of a looker when the bloodlust wears off.

    Contrary to its looks, Crimsonland still delivers frenetic fights that impossible to reproduce in web browsers. But bigger and more beautiful twin-stick shooters rose to fame during the game's decade-long slumber, leaving 10tons playing catch-up.
