    This is a classic. And like its PC brother it still is a challenging straight forward top-down two-stick shooter that I can’t get enough of.

    It's unpretentious and straight-forward in its delivery, and yet, underneath its façade rests an addictive top-down shooter with solid mechanics and a hardcore slant.

    An average but fun 2D Arena Shooter that provides some fun distraction.

    Crimsonland is a fun game to sit down with two or more players while trying to compete for a spot on the leaderboards, but it ultimately feels more like a distraction itself, than a twin-stick murderfest without distractions.
  5. With fun gameplay, cool weapons and interesting combat tactics Crimsonland seems like an entertaining 2D Arena Shooter game but you feel like it is incomplete.

    There is a lot of thought that has been put into this game's survival modes, and people will enjoy that side of things. It's just a shame that thought couldn't be put into the rest of the game.

    Ordinarily, as someone who loves seeing destruction in my wake, that should be hugely satisfying, but in Crimsonland's case it all just feels oddly underwhelming.

Basically you (and up to 3 others in couch co-op) blast everything that moves, collect weapons and perks, and chase high scores. It's graphics are crude and it's story is non-existent, but I'm still having fun with this one. The combat mechanics are sound, the waves of enemies are just varied enough to keep it interesting, and the perks and weapons are varied enough to accommodate a variety of play styles. In co-op, it's basically a crude hoard mode, which suits me just fine. This one won't keep your interest beyond a couple of hours of score chasing, but it's cheap and in my opinion, worth the low price. Expand

The first experience I've had with 10Ton studios was with King Oddball, and it was actually on tablet. Then I got it for PS4. I skipped their Zuma clone, but I had to give this a try. First things first. If your going to pay for this game, get it now. While it's on sale for the $7 with PS+. Seriously I've had more fun with it than Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition. The graphics are absolutely nothing to rave about, and there is nothing really more to the game but shooting. You can get combo's, and pick up power ups though. It is packed FULL of content though. It has 50ish levels in it's "campaign", then 4 different survival modes. Online leader boards, and some fun trophies. If your going to spend $7 on PSN right now get this game. Expand

Now I enjoy the game, especially since you can play with up to 3 friends offline. I can however not really recommend it if you don't have a nostalgic feeling for it. It is repetitive, the perks (which is the most fun part of the game) is not in quest mode (wich is the biggest part of the game), The little extra games they have to mix it up a bit are boring. They haven't upgraded anything of notice since it came out in 2003.

    Small ideas that would of made it better:
    Customizable character
    Better equality of the guns (some are just sooo much better or worse than the rest).
    More guns.
    MORE PERKS!
    Levels with walls
    Levels with quests
    Challanges
    Co-op boosts (like a button to hook up back to back with your friends and gett no reloads as you can only look around and not move).

    That's just from the top of my head and not hard to program. (Maybe the questpart isn't that easy or smart but the rest.)
