I See Red

A solid roguelite with a surprisingly effective silent story and a killer soundtrack. There's parts that are a bit rough around the edges, like getting your claw to grab what you want it to in the heat of the moment, but it's a game well worth any roguelite fan's time.

This game is truly a hidden gem when it comes to isometric shooters, and Rogue-like games. I really appreciate the stylized graphics. Red, white, black, and grey dominate this game and really makes it stand out to me. The cut scenes manage to communicate important messages & story lines without having dialogue or text to read. I also appreciate the inclusion of an easy mode. Most shooter games of this style only have normal and insane mode. The controls seem to work very well, I enjoy the grapple mechanic, grabbing items and throwing them. Its also interesting how many types of weapons, and consumables there are. Very deep game, and you can tell the developers worked really hard on this.

Ce n'est clairement pas le jeu de l'année, mais c'est tout de même pas trop mal ! L'histoire est vraiment basique mais bon, ce n'est pas tellement ce que l'on recherche quand on compte lancer un shooter à priori. Concernant les mécaniques de jeu : nerveux à souhait, fluides et fournies, tout ce que j'aime. En revanche, il n'y a que 3 biomes et donc 3 boss différents, qui ne changeront pas quelque soit votre itinéraire. Si vous êtes du genre à vous lasser vraiment vite, passez votre chemin !

Red is the hush before a warning cry, The ember's grin, the bloodshot sky. It’s love scrawled loud across the walls, A heartbeat echo in marble halls. It flares in flags and sirens’ wail, In roses fresh and letters stale. Red is the truth we can’t ignore, The slam of passion, the closing door. It stains the lips of those who dare, To speak in fire, to breathe bold air. Red is the wound, the war, the wine— A pulse that says you’re still alive.

Good top down shooter
