Before vampire survivors there was only Crimsonland to hold up the horde mowing genre. If you like mowing down hordes and upgrading a vast array of weapons this one's for you.

Hello dear players! I have played this game back in 2003 (at that time still alternately with friends on a PC and outside of Steam) and still play it from time to time. I have other survival shooter games but this is definitely the most motivating and best ever! I've only played about 78 hours on Steam because I've played it a lot outside of Steam before. You can always play this game. So buy it when it's on sale. + different modes + many perks + Real challenges and increasing levels of difficulty + Worldwide high scores! + Precise, ok perfect controls (tip: mouse and keyboard) + No nonsensical autoaimer game !!! + Real feelings of happiness and crass moments + ... - No Online Coop ... This game is one of my all time favorites games (that's currently 30 out of about 1000) for over 20 years! And I really do play all sorts of things.

Aug. 2024

This game from 2003 created your so-called "survivors-like" genre, and even made it 146% better. It doesn't need sequel, remaster improved all necessary things. Dont pay attention to the timer, i spent hundreds of hours in this game in 2007 and will spend more. Totally worth all money.

May 2024

I have a love/hate relationship with 10tons, and this game is a great example of why. Everything feels so smooth mechanically, but the RNG will frustrate you to no end. Wow, my first pickup 6 levels in a row is a submachine gun.
