meh
a lot of good programmers fail because they don't use "WASD" keys to move
other things were pretty good, i suppose
but i'm really not gonna play the whole game moving with my right hand
Reviews for "Redshift"
DO NOT PLAY
it was fun for the first 5 minutes. after that i kept playing FOR 2 HOURS waiting for it to get good.
once you get a decent shield (an EMP detonator) you just blast through everything.
the weapons are not varied enough, and give us some new enemies instead of the same ones with a new paint job (even the bosses were recycled), also there is no challenge when all of the enemies hang out on the other side of the screen waiting to get shot.
It's ok at first
The inventory is way too cluttered. Why are there not separate tabs for weapons and shields? I had a hard time finding things and just didn't bother with my inventory that much because it was a pain.
When you redeem an item you need to be told what the item is. I wasn't sure if my redeemed items were going to the bottom of the inventory or just being placed randomly in my inventory.
I also had no idea what the stats were or how they worked. I was seeing a number and then in braces another number on my shields/weapons. Then when I equipped the weapon/shield and looked at my stats the number in the stats didn't go up or down appropriately. That just made absolutely no sense to me. I figure you wrote a detailed explanation on the external instructions website but I'm not going to an external website to read instructions. Put that in the fucking flash please. So annoying.
It was a good idea and could have been a great game. It still needs a ton of work.
Boring
Really boring and redundant.
Like R-Type dipped in shit and battery acid
No play curve. Got the triple "shotgun" and challenge became nil.
Boring repetitive enemies.
Boring repetitive stages.
Boring repetitive bosses.
Dozens upon dozens of useless weapons and shields.
