A surprisingly moreish zom-bomber. [Dec 2009, p.109]
Nation Red is not as simplistic as Legion of Man, DiezelPower’s previous creation, but it’s still dull and unimpressive.

I would like to recommend this game to everyone who has 3 more friends ready to hit it. Of course you can play with strangers online, but it's just cooler to form a team and see how far can you get. Survival mode of this game is one of the most intense and interesting cooperative online play that I experienced. The game seems to be inspired by Crimsonland which I love very much. I still think Crimsonland is better in it's simplicity, but Nation Red provides more fun because of 4 player survival coop. Great thing about this game is that the developer is very devoted to it, patches and improvements continue to be made and players' opinion is really being heard on Steam forums. For the price tag this game has it provides so much fun that I would call it a must have.

This game is awesomely fun and enjoyable. Blasting zombies has never been so addictive, and the online co-op makes it a good game to play with friends. Single player is great as well as you can challenge yourself to beat other's highscore with the leaderboard. If you like classic top-down arena shooter games like crimsonland, you will love this as well. This game is based on a similar perk and power up system as crimsonland. You have the option of choosing a perk each time you level up as you gun the zombies down. Another plus is that the support the game gets from its developer is amazing, as this game is still being updated by them with feedback from the community.

Found this during the Halloween Steam sale, I mainly only play multiplayer and Nation Red is a blast. The perk system sets it apart from other top-down shooters, every coop game can be different. Already logged in 25 hours two week after getting it! Be warned it's fast paced and not at all easy!

I bought Nation Red on an impulse during one of Steam's big sales and I admit, I was initially unimpressed. I gave the game about ten minutes before deciding that it was too dull to handle and didn't fire it up again for about six months. When I did I can gladly say that I was utterly wrong with my initial hasty judgement of the game. It roped me in like few games have and I ended up spending a good thirty hours on it in the following two weeks.
*Graphics*
While the visuals in the game are nothing spectacular, they are certainly smart enough for the job at hand. The sheer number of enemies that can appear on-screen combined with ludicrous amount of blood and corpses more than make up for the lack of any up-to-date super special effects. The interface is simple, clean and does what it has to do.
*Gameplay*
"Easy to pick up and difficult to master" is a definitely phrase that applies to this game. Barricade mode will allow you to have the action start off slowly, gradually getting more and more frantic or you can dive straight in and get down to business immediately in survival mode. Expect zombies to be having sex with your face pretty sharpish in the latter.
The game has a huge selection of weapons, perks and power-ups allowing you to mix up your play style quite drastically and take a different approach to survival each time. Power-ups are dropped randomly by enemies upon their death and include things such as bullet-time, sentry guns and even a squad of temporary backup buddies. The perks are too numerous to list but they generally cover improved damage, movement, reload times as well as various periodic area-of-effect damage perks and improvements to the various power-ups you can find.
Weapons range from axes and machetes all the way to miniguns, grenade launchers and flamethrowers with a decent selection of pistols, SMGs and assault rifles in between. While the single-player is highly addictive, the game really shines in multi-player. It's an absolute blast getting some friends on voice chat for some co-op.
*Longevity*
Numerous game modes including the ability to play co-operatively with friends and more than 100 achievements mean that I can see myself continuing to play this game for some time to come.
*Overall 7/10*
This game is well worth the asking price and it drops to pennies in the many sales we see these days! It may take a couple of play sessions to click with the game which seems to have been the case with me and my friends but once it does, you won't look back.

Nation red is like a fire work. It's fun and exciting while it lasts but once it's over it's over. It's gory good fun especially with friends but there's nothing to keep you coming back despite all the game modes and it will easily become of of those games that you like but only ever play it when your friends want to. Ten dollars almost seems a bit steep if you want every penny to count now a days but if you just want to have fun then nation red is a good choice.

I feel bad leaving a harsh review for an indie developer, but Red Nation is really sub-par. All the weapon powerups are the same; the starting pistol is just as powerful as the mini-gun, which may actually be slightly inferior to the crowbar. As such, the game lacks any kind of challenge. The use of the word "zombie" is dubious at best; the bad guys use weapons, are not infectious, display the ability to work together in the cutscenes, and don't require head-trauma to die. The enemies could just as easily have been robots, plants, unicorns, or some kind of sapient tumble-weeds, given how fast the flamethrower puts them down. It would be more honest to call this a dirty-people survival game. Speaking of dirty, absolutely everything is brown, the international color-code for mediocrity. Nation Red isn't even close to being as entertaining or slick as Dead-Ops Arcade, the top-down zombie mini-game in COD: Black Ops. I dislike typing that as much as you hate reading it: a game has to be pretty lame to unfavorably compare it to an EA title.
