BIG Crimsonland 1.1.0 update with TYPOSHOOTER and more!

Greetings. After a healthy long beta, the new version is finally here!

Tons of stuff has changed. The biggest single feature is bringing back the classic Typ'o'shooter game mode - with leaderboards, of course. The mode is unlocked if you've completed the quests in normal difficulty.

We've also fixed ALL the major complaints about features missing compared to 2003 version. You can now use Telekinesis perk to directly pick up the perks by hovering them with your mouse for a while. The perks are now enabled in quests by default. Spideroids give more experience points. Pulse Gun + Angry Reloader perk is back. + many smaller tweaks.

Some of you have requested that we'd add DLCs to the game. More closely, some of you guys wanted to have the old 2003 version of Crimsonland and the game soundtrack as relatively inexpensive DLCs. Sorry to let you down, we're not doing the DLCs... We've added them to the main game FOR FREE! You can now select if you want to play the new (superior) Crimsonland or the old classic 2003 version when you launch the game using Steam. You can listen to the sound track placed in install folder under crimsonland-soundtrack folder.

Here's a full list of changes:
-Added back the Typ'o'shooter game mode! It will unlock after you play through the quest mode in normal difficulty.
-Telekinesis perk now picks up the powerup up after hovering your mouse over it for a second.
-Perks are now enabled by default in Quest mode (you can still change the settings in gameplay options).
-The old (2003) Crimsonland classic version is included in the install directory.
-The soundtrack is included in the game folder under crimsonland-soundtrack.
-New D3D9 based renderer is slightly faster and handles resolution change better.
-Multimonitor resolution selection should work better now.
-Blitz survival mode now starts harder but ramps up slower (all bosses don't come at you almost at once now).
-Pulse Gun + Angry Reloader combo works again as Pulse Gun has 3 ammo in all modes except Weapon Picker. You can't reload the weapon.
-Spideroids give slightly more experience points.
-Spider boss projectiles do proper damage now.
-Toxic Avenger now kills bosses as well if you can afford to take one hit.
-Fixed (rare) weapon jamming bug that prevented autoreloading your weapon occasionally.
-Leaderboards rendering performance improved. (Scrolling down to top 100k rank doesn't cause framerate drops).
-Added internal localization support, preparing for possible localizations. Clarification: only English supported in this build.
-Steam Cloud is now enabled in all versions.
-Main menu has friendly links to our next two games: Neon Chrome and Xenoraid!
-Dropping more weapons during the first 60 seconds of survival and blitz game mode runs will enable you to get the weapon you want more likely.
-Many many many smaller tweaks.

Please note that this update is for the PC version at this point.

So there you have it. If someone still thinks that the 2003 has something over this new version, speak up! :)

See you at the leaderboards!

BTW, I hope it's not too bold to plug our current Greenlight campaigns here as well:

Xenoraid - a non-bullet-hell shmup which entered Greenlight last week:
Xenoraid Greenlight

King Oddball - a weird but addictive little game we made. It needs just a tiny push to get through GL:

Thanks!

7 / 10 – Game Informer

It's not terrible, but not very good either and definitely not worth full price. I think the biggest issue is the lack of terrain and the way the questing mode is structured. It's not cool that you have to do the "normal" levels first because they are too easy and boring. It's a shame because gun variety and the sound design are on point. Shooting feels good, especially the way gun sounds and joy rumble works together. The music is kinda meh though. The optional old version is actually better, but that doesn't seem to work with modern gamepads and resolutions without external tools and it's not that good either to be worth the effort...
I thought this would be a good game to play while listening to podcasts, but in the end all it did was to sap my will with it's utter mediocrity.

OLD AND GOOD

Great shooting game with little to think about. You kill. You die. No crappy stories. No crap to make me buy shoddy toys for my kids. Nothing to make care about stuff. Just fun. And some powerups....

Posted: 6 August

Great game and very thoughtful developers. All gaming glithes and balancing problems spotted before seems all get fixed and it is now nearly a perfect top-down shooting. The implementation of new version perks/power-ups update into the 2003 classic version is quite amazing. Well done 10tons.

My Gameplay In A Nutshell:

First Few Waves: "Not sure if I'm gonna dig this one.."

Next Few Waves: "Okay I can get the hang of this."

20 Waves In: "♥♥♥♥ing spider peices of ♥♥♥♥, get over here!"

50 Waves In: "TASTE MY URANIUM COATED BULLETS YOU MUTANT ♥♥♥♥S!!!"

Well done. Very enjoyable. Addicting as hell. Recommended as a bit of a joyful time waster. 9/10

This is as easy as fun.
No mind, no strategy, no....just mayhem and tons of bullets.
Quests are addictive and quite hard to complete, infinte survival modes are fun to play with a good replayability.
The only great drawback is the lack of multiplayer online (even on lan would be something...)

Paint the ground red.

With murder.

Amazingtitle, it took a LONG TIME for it to reach steam, but it is totally worth all that wait for that. And it goes on bundles pretty often.

There are other titles similar to it, like the 3d Nation Red, but this is the best of its type.
There is also an android version, but honestly it controlls pretty badly with the virtual sticks.
Also, a ps vita version, I have not tried that. I should probably also get it there when it is on sale one day.

It is old. It is not particularly pretty, but damn if it is not satisfying to mow down the endless waves.

This game is an awesome revamp of one of my favorite childhood games, it even includes the old version! Would highly recommend this game!

Best survival game if you’re into this type of game 10/10

The quest mode was nice and I love the fact that they added new weapons to the new version.
They kept the 2003 version with the new one so that you can choose to play the old one if you can remember the old one (I DO)!

Worth the time and money!

Very addictive game, with lots of weapons, power-ups and game modes and large numbers of enemies.
Simple graphics.
Good sound effects.
Simple music, but very few soundtracks.
Easy gameplay.
The game gets repetitive after a while, but it's still fun to pass your time and relax with mindless shooting.

A fairly simply but enjoyable top-down shooter. Winning some of the quest levels can come down to luck of the draw when it comes to what guns and perks become available early vs. what you're fighting, so it's not a very structurally designed game, but as a mindless shooter I find it quite enjoyable.

If you enjoy playing top-down heavy action packed games that require very little effort to play, but are still loads of fun, then this is the game for you.

The game doesn't really have a story line, other than progressively going deeper into an alien infested world until finally completely destroying them. In short, the game focuses more on the gameplay than the engaging story. To give a short summary of the game: begin level; kill monster for first weapon; kill more monsters for pickups such as more weapons and boosters; kill enough to level up and upgrade permanent perks; repeat process until level is completed (unless you play survival mode).

This version is a bit different to the original. One of the differences being the installment of achievements which if I might add is really difficult to get at times, but I managed to do it. The playability in my opinion is very high as games don't usually last very long but is still fun enough in order to come back and improve on your last score. Also, the game offers a multiplayer feature which I haven't tried out yet, but I understand it only works on LAN, so don't bother buying it for a buddy in hopes you can play online.

Because I love these kinds of games, I definitely recommend this to anyone that enjoys the same kinds of games, or who is willing to give this game a shot.

Positives:
- Very addictive gameplay.
- Lots of levels and game modes.
- Many weapons and powerups.
- 4 Player Local Coop.
- Nice graphics.

What changed from original:
- Few new weapons and powerups.
- Few new game modes.
- Perks can't be used in the main game now and are only available in Survival.
- Interface feels less powerful and more like a mobile game. (I was told this is to keep the game looking consistent across all platforms).
- New flame weapon is a lot more useful than the original two.

Issues:
- I had an odd bug where the game refused to start when I installed it. A simple restart of my computer fixed the issue.
- You won't use a quarter of the weapons in the game due to them being underpowered compared to some of the bigger beasts.

Overall:
I've enjoyed the beta and had next to no issues with performance. I somewhat dislike the interface and the lack of perks in the main game but I can understand.

Edit: A couple of things I noticed in the new update include:
- New Crimsonland theme tunes (unless I just forgot the old ones)
- Ion Cannon now explodes in various directions.
