Quick reflexes and clever strategies are required in REDSHOT, a bullet-time action metroidvania designed with the frantic, deadly combat of DOOM and METAL SLUG combined with the exploration, platforming, and non-linear design of METROID.
## About This Game
REDSHOT is a fast-paced bullet-time action metroidvania solo-project developed
over the course of 7 years. After crash landing on a fringe planet in the
outer edges of the galaxy, Jack “Goose” Redshot is given a mission to rescue
the royal family of the city of Carcosa from a mysterious supernatural alien
invader who has laid siege to the city and it’s inhabitants. With over 200
rooms to explore and many weapons, items, and secrets to find, fans of the
genre will find a challenging but fair adventure to be had in the wild land of
Carcosa.
## EXPLORE A VAST NON-LINEAR WORLD

an unknown off world invader. Explore the city and it’s surrounding landscape
to restore the defense network, and save the city from total destruction.
## CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE WEAPONS FROM A MULTITUDE OF GUNS AND ITEMS
Use an array of different guns, swords, and items to strategically outwit your
enemies in fast-paced, deadly combat encounters. With over 10 different guns
to acquire and even more combat items, each with their own advantages and
disadvantages, you will be tasked with equipping the right tools for the right
job.

too much and you might end up in a critical spot!
