Crimsonland is a top-down shooter game available for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4. Crimsonland is a re-make of a game known by the same name that was released for Windows in 2003 and was actually 10Tons’ first ever game with the re-make providing a rather fitting celebration of a special milestone of having endured over a decade in the videogames industry! A decade in the videogames industry is not exactly easy, but congratulations are not just in order for over a decade in the industry, but also for such a diversity of games from Sparkle to King Oddball and even Crimsonland showcases a clear departure from one another, which takes plenty of enthusiasm, guts and imagination to achieve, so long live the exceptional indie games and long may they continue to flow onto PlayStation consoles for many years to come! However, does Crimsonland shape up to the same level of quality as their Sparkle games and King Oddball?
