"It Runs Red" is a mediocre, clunky third persion action game with a dark fantasy kind of theme going for it... it doesn't work well. It's not engaging and the janky controls, poor optimisation and un-fun game design are big deterrents. This feels a lot like a homework project or something. Graphicswise, this has some fairly mediocre looking graphics (from the Unreal Marketplace maybe) that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Insultingly, the developer insists that you should play this with a console peasant children's toy gamepad instead of KB+M. You cannot play this without a console peasant children's toy. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're designing games for. It's the responsibility of the developer to ensure the game runs well on the platform they're selling it on, with the primary peripherals that PC gamers use. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really …3 found this helpful
It Runs Red is a short third-person action game that places its strongest emphasis on boss encounters, supernatural powers, and an unusually aggressive approach to melee combat. Set within a devastated Victorian-Gothic city, it follows Cain through a world transformed by demonic corruption. The game was developed by Ross Winters, Jesse McNamee, Brianne Ball, Roberto Uribe, Jonathan Tope, Connor Breeding, Ricardo Maldonado, Alexander Powell, Felipe Sanchez, Frances Rosa-Martir, Robert Dixon, Dominic Mercado, and Kevin Parker, with Active Sun Games handling publishing. Its relatively contained scope makes it feel less like a conventional action RPG and more like a concentrated demonstration of combat concepts built around several major encounters. The premise gives the action an appropriately dark foundation. Cain is the younger brother of King Azazel, a ruler who resorts to forbidden supernatural forces in an attempt to save his collapsing kingdom. Instead of providing salvation, Azazel's ritual opens the way to the underworld and unleashes Corruption upon the city. Azazel himself becomes consumed by its influence, while Cain receives a curse that forces him to survive by consuming…
Игра It Runs Red — это пиксельный хоррор с атмосферой классических слизеров. Мрачная, душная атмосфера и постоянное чувство паранойи отлично передают дух жанра. Геймплей цепляет простотой и напряжением, а звуковое сопровождение мастерски нагнетает ужас. Неожиданные повороты сюжета держат в напряжении до самой развязки.
a simple game made by a few developers free to play, short to finish, really worth the 30 mins of game play don't hesitate to give it a try
I wouldn't recommend it if you have a potato PC , it's also have junky controls 5/10
