Cute game and a really fun idea, but really falls off on the execution. The RNG is the sole biggest issue with this game. Decisions don't matter and scripted encounters will often leave you without the resources you need to progress. The game tries to be a rogue-like without any of the good features of a roguelike. There is little variety in encounters, and most of the time you will have a run ended outside of your control, receive an item that completely solves the thing that killed you out of your control, then repeat until you beat the game. The story is great, and learning the dogs backgrounds is cute, but there's not much game to be had.
[h1]Every Dog Has a Story[/h1] I got The Red Lantern for free, thinking it would just be a simple dog sledding game. I wasn't expecting much beyond traveling through the snow with a team of dogs, but it ended up surprising me in the best way. It's actually built like a roguelite, with random encounters, unexpected events, and choices that can lead to completely different outcomes. Sometimes you get rewarded for exploring, sometimes you get injured, and sometimes things just don't go the way you planned. It kept each run feeling fresh. The biggest highlight for me was definitely the dogs. Each one has its own personality, and you can tell just from the way they stand, move, and react to the world. They all have their own stories, and somehow the game manages to give each dog a character arc. I ended up adopting every dog because I wanted to learn all of their stories, and watching both the dogs and the protagonist grow throughout the journey made the game surprisingly heartwarming. I also liked that you can spend time taking care of your team. Feeding the dogs, petting them, and simply spending time with them made them feel like real companions instead of just gameplay mechanics. Those little moments added a lot to the experience. After around 3-4 hours, the runs can start to feel a little repetitive, but occasionally I'd still come across a new encounter, or even make the same choice and somehow get a different outcome. That unpredictability kept me going a bit longer than I expected. I got the game for free, and I definitely don't regret giving it a chance. I probably wouldn't recommend buying it at full price, but if it goes on sale, I think it's well worth picking up. It's a cozy little roguelite full of dogs and adventure.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 21: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Peguei o jogo de graça quando deram, não deu muita bola mas como tava sem nada para fazer instalei pra ganhar umas conquistas e ter mais um jogo platinado na conta... mas esse jogo me surpreendeu! Nunca tinha imaginado um rogue-like narrativo sobre uma pessoa solitária e seus cachorros tentando sobreviver na natureza congelada seria algo que me cativaria tanto, e ainda mais me deixaria emocionado como os pequenos diálogos da personagem me deixaram. 10/10 - Joguei pouco mas sei que vai se tornar um dos meus jogos favoritos que vou indicar para todos!
“The Red Lantern” is an okay, but flawed experience. The story is fairly shallow, and in terms of gameplay, the rogue-lite progression system is likewise shallow. The Red Lantern's frozen trails of Alaska did not offer enough variety in it’s procedurally generated events. As a result, the game quickly becomes a matter of "Which event will I see again?" It’s enrapturing visual style and atmospheric music cannot alleviate such gameplay concerns. The game takes 2-3 hours to complete, and there is not many meaningful elements that encourage repeat playthroughs. I love the dog sled team-mechanic and playing the runs again and again only reinforced that. But the rogue-style gameplay does not stay fresh all the way through and gets a bit boring and repetitive.
This game is very unique and fun, never played a game where you can choose your own adventure all that much but I glad I did got this one, ( I got it for free), The survival aspect is pretty cooool, the game is visually stunning, and there are stakes to this game, that does manage to keep your attention, though I do feel like, the game gets it's a lot more gameplay out of you using achievement hunting, which already looks extremely tedious, I mean after completely the main story, I don't have much of a drive to keep playing and, and me not really being a 100 achievement guy, anyway the gameplay is intriguing and the gameplay is worth while is all I've to say, plus the visuals :)
Прикольное исследование леса вместе с собачками, очень расслабляет
You can't control anything. just point-and-click game. And a boring one at that
Не каждая игра может быть одновременно красивой сказкой, приключением и уроком смирения, но вот эта смогла
[b][i] The Red Lantern [/i][/b] is a relaxing adventure game with a beautiful art style and a peaceful atmosphere that makes exploring the Alaskan wilderness beautiful. The visuals are excellent, creating an experience that feels cozy and emotional. Taking care of your sled dogs and progressing through the journey gives the game plenty of charm. However, the gameplay can become a bit boring over time, as many activities start to feel repetitive and the pacing is quite slow. Some runs don't offer enough variety to keep every moment engaging. Even though, the game is still worth trying for players who appreciate atmospheric games and don't mind a more calm experience.
