REDSHOT

I enjoyed playing through this a lot. The movement and gunplay are fantastic, and easily the best part of the game. Honestly that alone was what carried the entire game for me, it's just so good. Combat is a lot of fun(at least in the early game) due to how fast you can move around and how dangerous enemies can be. Gun-boosting around everywhere is sooo much fun. My only gripe with the movement is how finicky the dash-jumps felt, but that might just be me not being used to them. I also really like the pixel art. It's really nice looking, though I wish there was more contrast between important things like explosive crates and the rest of the clutter. I also for some reason didn't see the green grenade/shuriken thrower enemies a lot of the time, but that might just be a me issue. The story... exists, I guess. Its good enough to not take away from the game, just doesn't really add much to it. What DOES take away from the game is: ------------ The level design and map. I don't entirely h...

Beautiful world, incredible music, extremely smooth controls, and with lots of hidden loot, what more could you ask for? This game is challenging, but when you beat an enemy that gave you trouble, it just feels GOOD. Great game, I definitely recommend.

It's a bit of a busy mess with it's early barrage of items, clutter everywhere in the environment. Character handling is fast (maybe too fast). The game is pre-mapped out too, so you aren't mapping like in a typical metroidvania. Game also crashed in the first 5 minutes. Just not having any fun with it unfortunately.

Fun af 10/10

Great movement and combat. I think inventory management would've been better with a weapon/item wheel similar to Far Cry 4. Overall though there is so much content here for the price, there's even NG+!

This game is too cool! From the graphics to music, I'm blown away in the midst of my first play-through. The game dynamics are incredibly fluid and intuitive. Reminds me of some of my favorite games I played as a kid.

Huge ups to Brian! Really so impressive to create an entire game front to back as one person. The music kept me wanting to play!

I would of honestly loved to give this game more time but the controles where unchangable on keyboard and both switch weapon and use items were on alt, makign it impossible to use any healing. I know it's a very easy fix but for now based on that alone I wouldn't recommand this game

Picked this up after the Dev posted about their new game update on subreddit r/metroidvania. Almost 3 hours in, I think there's a lot more to see, but Redshot is a blast!! Movement, shooting, map and inventory system all are intuitive & well-implemented. The bullet time mechanic is easy to use, saves your @$$ in the clutch, yet not overpowered. Highly recommend this game to any Metroidvania enthusiast or fans of 2D platformers in general.

Way too unpolished. I can't recommend this in good conscience. Play blast brigade, ghost song, metroid dread (nintendo switch), or apotheon instead. Having said this, I see Brian having great potential in the future if he takes the lessons learned from making this and has the courage to make another game, especially if he works with others on such a project.
