What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Crimson Loop has potential but suffers from severe pacing issues that frustrate players from the start, with attack speeds feeling glacially slow compared to enemy damage output, excessive grinding requirements, and confusing mechanics like one-time-only NPC interactions with no explanation. Players appreciate the free-to-play approach and note the game's core concept works in theory, but most feel it needs significant balance adjustments, better UI feedback, and clearer tutorials before it becomes enjoyable rather than a tedious grind.
Honestly, it's crap so far, even though it has potential. I did 5 or 6 runs, all of which screamed "this dev has no idea what pacing is". I'm attacking once every 3 or 4 seconds, and if I maybe kill the 1-hit creatures (not always!), then they very infrequently drop an xp orb, which I can get by wading deep into a crowd of monsters that each hits multiple times per second, and I watch my health drain away like I'm playing Gauntlet. Then I can go back out and I was able to speak once to the shopkeeper, but I hit "left" looking for the other set of upgrades, and that was apparently "exit" and he'll never speak to me again, even after another run. No explanations, just... you only get to shop once, ever. If I could somehow bolster my starting stats, I might want to keep playing, but right now I don't. The idea is fine, I'm always down for another vampire survivors clone, but the implementation is just terrible, and it doesn't matter how good your later game is if players don't stick around to find out.3 found this helpful
Not bad for a free-to-play game, but it requires an excessive amount of grinding, which makes it exhausting and ultimately boring. This is especially true during the first few runs, where your damage and attack speed make absolutely no sense compared to the overwhelming number of enemies and the damage they deal to you. The game doesn't understand pacing at all; it just forces you to grind and repeat until you get upgrades, causing it to become repetitive and dull very quickly. Since there are much better options in this genre (even free-to-play ones), this just ends up feeling like a failed experiment.1 found this helpful
PLEASE make the mace cooldown shorter1 found this helpful
Pretty good game. B tier
The game is decent, though i was a bit lost when there wasnt a manual attack. The game has potential, it's only missing movement animations and a cooldown bar to express how much time is between the base attack. if you have a short attention span dont play this however.
What is this? No really, WHAT is this? It's pretending to be Vampire Survivor, but terribly, and with a plot that doesn't make sense nor does it read at a third grade level. Just plain bad.
