Redout: Space Assault

"It may offer solid space combat but Redout: Space Assault&s;s lack of ambition to try anything new holds it back from being special."

"Don&s;t be fooled by the impressive visuals. This dated and deeply unsatisfying arcade shooter manages to make space combat feel flimsy, boring and anything but immersive. Perhaps on a mobile phone, its limitations can be overlooked but on a console …"

"In its primary aspects, the game lacks a backbone, which translates into a scarcity of true action and adrenaline, especially in situations where one would expect them such as bossfights and competitions which are portrayed minimally. This makes the game …"

"While there is plenty to like about Redout: Space Assault, it just doesn&s;t do enough to distinguish itself from the iOS outing. Mechanics issues, not to mention sporadic difficulty spikes, plague the progression through the campaign and rob players of …"

"A pretty but repetitive space shooter."

"Its phone-based origin is clear. The big battles are, at first, fun and exciting. But the fourth or fifth time when almost the same scenarios appear it is hard to summon the energy to do it all again. More variety …"

"If you&s;re a fan of on-rails shooters, Redout: Space Assault is an enjoyable, if limited, addition to the genre."

"Even with the small faults it has, that doesn’t keep Space Assault from being a great time. The action is both familiar and fun, the visuals are pretty great, and at the price of 10 bucks, you can’t really beat …"

"While I enjoyed Redout: Space Assault, I can’t proclaim to have loved it; the visuals, soundtrack and voice acting gave me plenty to smile about but there’s a rinse and repeat feel to the levels that make it difficult to …"

"Italian developer 34BigThings is shifting gears a bit with Redout: Space Assault. A prequel to 2016&s;s spaceship racing game, we&s;re now being treated to a (heavily) Star Fox-inspired experience. Strap in as a young pilot, fight the resistance, and blow …"

"RedOut: Space Assault reminds of classic on-rails shooters like Star Fox 64 and Rez, adding much more content and a satisfying spaceship development mechanic. It might not be as memorable as those classics, but it&s;s definitely a suggested get for …"

"For a game that was clearly inspired by Star Fox, I was saddened to find that it was devoid of the charm that made those games so great."

"In no way, shape or form could Redout: Space Assault be considered required playing."

"Although it tries to shake up the shooter forumal, Redout: Space Assault doesn&s;t fully succeed, with a lack of clear instructions and a control scheme that&s;s not intuitive. Although there&s;s plenty of action, it&s;s not as satisfying as it should …"

"Racing pirates through the canyons of asteroids, or getting a multi-lock on a huge swarm of enemies as you dodge incoming fire is just as exciting as it should be. Redout: Space Assault gets very close to being something truly …"

"A glimpse at the trailer for Redout: Space Assault certainly shows promise, delivering some solid space shooting visuals and a great sense of scale as well..."

"Redout: Space Assault is a reminder that I should fire up Star Wars: Squadrons again. While it&s;s visually appealing given its discount price, it fails to deliver fun and engaging mechanics. If you want an indie and don&s;t dig on …"

"Most players will probably blast through Redout: Space Assault in just a few hours. It’s a game that doesn’t try to do anything special, but it provides enough entertainment, particularly if you enjoy some arcade-style space-shooting action. And for less …"

"Redout: Space Assault dabbles in numerous space shooter concepts but doesn&s;t strike a chord with any of them."

"Evaluating the complete package, Redout: Space Assault is just one more on the market. The game has beautiful visuals and some good ideas, but there are serious problems with elements like the story and the gameplay. In other words, the …"

"Redout: Space Assault&s;s mobile game roots sabotage what could have been."

"Redout: Space Assault isn&s;t a bad game by any means, it just isn&s;t an exceptional one either. This is a bargain bin game, the kind of thing that&s;s worth a few hours of your time after you&s;ve picked it up …"

"Having enjoying the racing game Redout, I was looking forward to seeing the developer’s take on the space shooting genre. They got some things right, especially the on-rails sections and creating a nice sense of speed, but there’s enough rough …"

"Redout: Space Assault is an aestetically brilliant rail shooter, with a casual-gamer oriented gameplay but a lot of sci-fi appeal. Pleasant graphics, good sountrack and low price."

"There’s fun to be had, but you have to dig really deep to find it. When the game is working, blasting through these levels in just a couple of minutes is the perfect time to be in a level, without …"

"A competent (mostly) rail-shooter with nice graphics and very simple gameplay."

"Redout Space Assault feels like two games; an enjoyable arcade shooter on rails, and a free-movement space-sim with no exploration. Glitches, unbalanced difficulty, and a lack of any worthwhile story weigh down what could have been much better."
