  • Summary: Blending the mechanics of melee based brawlers with the side-scrolling shooters of the classic console era, The Red Star updates each style with combo attacks, enemy lock-on features, and the ability to switch between the two seamlessly and on the fly. You will fight your way through 19 stages of intense enemies with one goal in mind: take them all down. [XS Games] Expand

  1. The Red Star is a great game, just one that wasn’t designed for most people to get excited about.
  2. An excellent and testing shooter. [June 2010, p.117]
  3. 75
    As a $15 game, though, The Red Star is a great deal, considering it was at one point set to release as a full-priced game. For old-school action game fans, this one's a must-download.
  4. The Red Star is a fine game, and should be played by fans of the brawler and SHMUP genres. Whether you dig up a PS2 version or get this one on PSP, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
