Use the left stick to walk around, and the right stick to aim. The controls are very simple and work pretty well, making the game very easy to pick up and dive into. Do I run through these enemies for that power-up or gun, or is it too dangerous to attempt? Do I pick up that gun that just dropped, or stick with the one I have? Which enemies should I focus my fire on right now? Some are harder to kill, and some can fire projectiles of their own! Some split into additional smaller enemies several times as you keep firing at them. There is also a bit of strategy to the game. When a bunch of enemies attack you together, you will be a dead man very fast! So you have to keep moving to avoid getting surrounded at all costs. When an enemy catches up to you, it can slow you down with its attacks. You can check out your arsenal of unlocked weapons and their stats in the Extras menu. Some levels will swarm you with massive numbers of enemies and require you to keep moving and shooting if you want to stay alive, even with some of the better guns! They include flamethrowers, Gatling guns, rail-guns, rocket launchers, mini-guns, and many more (plus variations on some of them, like the seeker rockets or the gauss mini-gun)! If you think some of them might make the game too easy, they really don’t. This also makes them available in the survival modes, and the same goes for the perks. It even includes some stats for the hidden mini-game.Ĭrimsonland has a wide array of weapons that slowly open up to you as you progress in Quest Mode. It also has an achievements screen, which also provides access to an overall stats screen that shows your total playtime in the game, average lifespan, total hits taken and inflicted across all battles, and more. You can view unlocked weapons/perks in the Extras menu.
The final perk is locked behind a hidden mini-game on the Credits screen, called Gembine. The last two weapons are locked behind Hardcore and Grim difficulty modes respectively. There are 50 in total, about half of which are unlocked from the start.Įach time you finish a mission on normal difficulty, you will unlock a new perk, or a new weapon. You can view unlocked perks in the Extras menu. You start each level with only a pistol, so you’ll want to get a better weapon asap! Stepping on a gun switches you to that weapon, but you can only carry one at a time. Random guns will also drop, and can be any of the ones that you have unlocked so far. They include one-time bullet-storms like the one shown above (in multiple flavors), as well as movement speed boosts, med kits, temporary flaming bullets, etc. Each weapon has four stats: accuracy, damage, fire rate, and reload time.ĭuring each mission, power-ups will periodically drop where you kill an enemy. At the start of the game, very few weapons are unlocked, but half of the perks are available. Your level and perks are reset for every mission, so you start each one with no level-ups and no perks. The effects of perks vary greatly, from increased bullet speed or damage, to health regen, slowing monsters, giving you more perk choices on each level up, and many more. Each time you level up, you are presented with a random selection of three or more perks to choose from. This XP gets you new perk choices as you progress through the mission. The player touches a power-up that unleashes a spiraling bullet storm.Īs you battle your foes in Quest mode, you earn XP.
Crimsonland does not support online play, though. Friends can fight beside you in survival mode, too. Good luck reaching the top, as some of those scores set the bar quite high. There are also five endless survival modes, each with their own local high scores table that’s pre-populated. It doesn’t really have any story to go along with the missions, as it’s just you killing everything that moves. You must survive and defeat all enemies on a level to finish the mission! This is the main game mode, where you’ll also unlock weapons and perks as you progress. In each difficulty, they are divided into six chapters with 10 missions in each. There is Quest Mode, which gives you 60 quests to play through on three difficulty levels (so 180 quests in total). Each battle sees you alone and surrounded by ever increasing numbers of monsters (from giant insects to zombies), and there is nowhere to run and hide! You can even have a few friends fight alongside you if you have more controllers, and feel the need for some reinforcements on a tough level! Will you be able to survive the alien onslaught using the available weapons and live to fight another day?Ĭrimsonland has two main styles of gameplay. Crimsonland is a 2D arcade, top-down, twin-stick shooter.
