Once filled, the player is offered the choice of a perk. The perks are there to buff you up during each stage.Īs enemies are killed and blood it spilt, a gauge at the top of the screen fills up.
There are several variants of each of the weapon types, and these add effects to the guns that will prove useful in the heat of battle. Weapons are the standard fare rifles, pistols, shotguns, flame throwers etc. With each cleared stage, the game unlocks either a new weapon or perk, and there are plenty of both. Each level pits the player against a wave of aliens, bugs and even zombies. It opens up with a quest mode 70 levels that are divided in to 7 stages. With that out of the way, lets get on to what makes this old school shooter great. It is by no means a deal-breaker, but does hamper the experience. This could easily have been solved by just having auto-fire. As such, after a few hours on continuous play, my right index finger started to ache. Because the the hectic nature of the gameplay, there is really no need to ever take your finger of the trigger. While we are on the subject of controls, I will use the opportunity to get my only gripe with the game out of the way. Use the left stick to move, the right stick to aim and the R trigger to fire. This is no bad thing mind, as taking this approach means that there are no complicated systems to learn or complex controls to master. Now that re-release has come to Xbox One, with added levels, enemies and an extra mode.Ĭrimsonland is a straight forward twin-stick arena shooter, and its old roots are there to be seen, even with the added polish.
