    Death Crimson OX dies the slow death of mediocrity. While no single element of the game is horrible, none of it is good either.

    This game is the very definition of generic; everything about it is lame.

    There's no logical reason why you should buy this game as it barely offers a challenge, contains dated visuals, the game makes no sense, and overall, is no fun to play.

    It's hard to recommend Death Crimson OX to anyone but the truly desperate light-gun fanatic.

The game is nearly playable at times, and the hitbox detection is so bad that you will rarely hit a boss but they will always hit you. The first 2 games are atrocious and this one is a bit better but still pretty bad, a cheap and poorly made clone of House of the dead 2… Expand
