Released for XBLIG (3/2012)
Redshift is a vertical shmup released exclusively for XBLIG. The game features a red tint to everything and the ships are presented very basic in their design. Gameplay is very much a traditional bullet-hell shmup, with your spread and focus forms of fire and ship speed decreasing when firing your focused shot. Unique to Redshift is the gauge that when filled, can unleash either a screen-clearing bomb or activate slow-motion. The game boasts having 999 procedurally-generated levels, which can make for quite a bit replay value. From the menu you can select from several difficulties so the game can be a bit easier than your typical shmup, making it a good game for those new to the genre as well as series veterans. While Redshift is not the prettiest game to look, it plays well and shmup fans should easily find it worth the dollar price tag.
Final Verdict: Redshift is an enjoyable 2D shmup that doesn't look the greatest but has solid gameplay deeming it worth a look, especially for shooter fans.
