Reviews for "Redshift"

Pretty graphics, but lacking otherwise

This is in essence repetitive grinder game with pretty graphics.

The enemies have some variety, but they only come in only 1 way - in a vertical line. You fight this line of enemy over and over and again, and it becomes repetitive very soon.

The inventory management is a hassle. As it previously stated, separate tabs for weapons and shields will be very helpful.

Finally, a few things are needed. Enemies need to come in a variety of ways, not just in a boring vertical line. Streamlined inventory with separate tabs. More interesting boss fights that consists of more than shooting at the boss until it explodes. And maybe a shop where you can sell/purchase new gears?

A nice game, but...

It gets a little boring after some time, and the fight against the enemies is just unfair! They have no shield and they don't move! You should work in the enemies' AI to follow the player ship. And the bosses should end in a big explosion, that would be cool to see. Well, everything else was nice for me, congrats, nice game
=D

Arg...

It would be a ten. But the main menu won't allow me to choose any character but the red guy! Exit the instructions...OK.....Choose a character....Oooh, speed guy, he's mine!....OK, he's selected....Starting the game....Wait, why am I the red guy??NOOOO..... And the inventory system is bad, also the missions are repetitive.

Alright.

The game itself was okay, it kind of seemed I was playing the same level over and over again, if the side missions had some kind of different type of gameplay, i would find it a little better, I'd rather not hold down a on every damn level. The game was a good idea, but it wasn't executed that effectively.

PROS
- Being able to pick up weapons and store them for later
- Decent control layout, smooth controls
- Gameplay was okay.

CONS
- Over 250 weapons and shields? More like 15 different weapons and shields then tweaking them a little. I'm fine with double or triple, but when you take it into + and quads, it kind of gets over the line. The slightly modified weapons, like the frag grenade launcher were good though, but when it said focused (weapon) and you just changed the weapon stats a little bit, it makes me frown. :(
- Gameplay seems repetitive at points, throwing in some other kinds of gameplay (but not too much) would make it more enjoyable instead of a "MOVE AND HOLD DOWN A AND PRESS S TO WIN" game.

It was ok...

But it wasn't challenging and didn't have anything else to keep me interested.
