Red Pistol

This is a fun game akin to a Vampire Survivors type of Rogue-Like. In its simplest form, it’s a twin stick shooter that has a good soundtrack and some lore to boot. It certainly isn’t without its issues; some balancing is needed, using a controller is significantly harder and the steam deck version isn’t greatly optimized… YET. BUT the biggest green flags for me is the teams desire to get it right. The steam deck version wouldn’t boot at all - they took care of it. They’re adding things like optimization for the deck and aim assist for controller users… this game JUST came out and they’re already making fixes and being transparent about the feedback. It’s a fun game made by good people, give it a shot.

This is simply a bad game! It fails in almost every aspect what makes a good rogue like (I played the game for about 3 hours- 2 hours offline) 1. The progression system is a joke: there is only two updates (the most boring ones: xp-gain and health!) 2. There are 8 weapons that can be unlocked after a huge grind fest, and not for money but for bounty -money????-wtf 3. Its grindy as hell 4. The levels are boring and all look the same 5. Minor flaws: No map or minimap. + you cannot even read your health bar because it is too small 5. Most important: the gameplay: it simply consist of kiting mobs and going in circles for hours which is exactly as much fun as it sounds like I actually cannot understand the good reviews. Maybe those guys have never played good rogue likes like Binding of isaac or Nuclear throne?

I've really really enjoyed this game. It kind of reminds me of an in-depth version of the Prairie King game from Stardew Valley and gives me a nice sense of nostalgia. There are things that bother me, like how the companions feel a bit useless and sometimes the progress doesn't feel very rewarding but a lot of those things are already being addressed in the next update. The dev seems really open to feedback and eager to improve this already great game and that's really nice to see. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming improvements and I hope this game gets more love and attention. <3

Great game

I love this game! The art is awesome, the music is great, the playing mechanics are great. One of the aspects that I love the most is how smooth the movements feel, it's flawless in that category. The team behind this game seems very proud of their work and it shows in the improvements. Can't wait to play more and see what lies ahead!

Developed by Ace Horizon Studios and published by indie.io, Red Pistol delivers a stylish blend of roguelike action, bullet-hell intensity, and supernatural western storytelling. Rather than sticking to the familiar themes of outlaws and frontier justice, the game introduces a darker interpretation of the Old West where vampires, zombies, and other monstrous creatures have transformed the land into a dangerous battlefield. Players step into the boots of bounty hunter Reed Ransom, whose mission to track notorious criminals gradually evolves into a much larger struggle against an ancient evil threatening to consume the frontier. The combination of western atmosphere and gothic horror gives the adventure a distinctive personality that immediately separates it from many other entries in the roguelike genre. Combat is built around fast-paced twin-stick shooting where constant movement is just as important as accurate aim. Every encounter fills the screen with hostile creatures and deadly projectiles, requiring players to dodge, reposition, and retaliate without hesitation. While the action is demanding, it rarely feels unfair because progression is tied to an extensive upgrade system t…
