About Decision: Red Daze
Decision: Red Daze is an isometric action RPG with a unique spin on survival and tower defense mechanics.
The Dust Bowl, once a ‘thriving’ society of corrupt politicians, rich property barons and everyday people who work for them ‘100% willingly’, has been overtaken by a mysterious phenomenon only known by survivors as the Red Daze. As the illness takes hold of the survivors and turns them into crazed and EXTREMELY dangerous mutated creatures, the worlds’ governments are running around like headless chickens. It falls to the few who remain to fend off the monsters in hopes of finding a way to eradicate the Red Daze once and for all.
Even the lowliest survivor you find has the potential to lead his own squad, explore, make the wasteland safe, and shape their own destiny. It’s up to you to upgrade and specialize any survivor you find in the wasteland any way you see fit.
While most of the buildings of the Dust Bowl are long abandoned and taken over by the undead, the loot and potential shelter is coveted by most survivors. During your exploration missions you’ll come across various farmsteads, factories and military installations full to the brim with monsters, loot, and most importantly, foundations that hold the potential to turn the long abandoned structures into sprawling and heavily fortified settlements.
With survivors from all over the wasteland pouring into your settlements for safety, it’s smart to keep them occupied. Assign them to build factories to make food, fabricate resources or make useful goods to barter with, put up and upgrade defenses, and in the event of an attack, task your best soldiers to protect your settlements while you’re away or join the battle yourself and help push back the monsters coming to take what’s yours!
The packs of monsters always have a leader. Plan ahead, strategically assemble your squad of specialists to maximize your odds of survival, and head out on exploration and scouting missions. Gather vital intelligence on the monsters’ movements to better defend your settlements, or find and eliminate the bosses to stop the attacks altogether.

So. Let me start by saying. There's something to enjoy here. Whether or not you will enjoy it is based on your tolerance for scuff... and your love of anything remotely fallout flavored. If you've been craving for a top down Fallout action RPG, your enjoyment of this game will greatly increase relative to your tolerance for said scuff... Let me set aside the good from the bad and then give an argument as to why I still recommend this game... The Good: -Leveling your squad up and turning them from wasteland newbies into hardened desert rangers feels great! -Reclaiming the wasteland feels rewarding and progression feels meaningful -Combat is fast and fluid if you can adapt to dancing between increasingly powerful weapons -The story SEEMS intriguing* -Me like Fallout/Wasteland The Bad: -Squad management sucks, it's tedious and nonsensicle -Many of the game's mechanics are unclear and there's no real way to figure out what stats do what -The game says you can play as anyone... this is false, you will make your squad and then never swap them. -The UI and controls can be quite cumbersome -I've not finished the game but I've had frame drops and a single hard crash thus far -The map g…1 found this helpful
[h3] Disclaimers [/h3] I didn't finish the game before posting this review, but I felt confident enough that this was pretty much going to be the whole experience. [h1] Review [/h1] So I was fresh from beating the whole Dying Light trilogy, I must've put about 140 hours across all three games. It did leave me craving some more zombie smashing action so I looked through my library, backlog and wishlist. I already tried Decision: Red Daze before back in July 2023, but it didn't click with me then. I grabbed it since I was actually a fan of the flash game series. I knew what I was buying and I think I'm definitely the intended audience for this game lol. The premise is your typical zombie apocalypse stuff for the most part. Details unnecessary. This takes place in the "Dustbowl," a region where a strange mist looms over it and in it reside the hordes of infected. This is the titular Red Daze. The core idea of the gameplay is pretty much liberating the Dustbowl. Clear out and take settlements, defend them, upgrade them by recruiting survivors and looting resources, as well as your own squad of survivors, until you can further repel the Red Daze and defeat enemy bosses that launch …
It's a nice product.
Lots of glitches, aiming system is weird and janky moving your view is the same and while I like the concept it's not novel and the execution is not there. they would need a serious overhaul for me to ever pick this up again.
what is the "red daze" as said so in the sub title of this game? i don't know
boring and tedious
