Nintendo Switch User Reviews

Way better than it has any right to be but some iffy localisation, same type of jump scares used over and over, combined with being far too easy and short stop the game from becoming great.Only worth a buy if you can get it on a deep sale for around £5.

"Red Colony definitely turned out to be a mixed bag, but I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy my time with it. Sure, it may have only taken two and a half hours to beat but the game is also pretty cheap. The game also certainly has a lot of flaws: the animation and sound effects are pretty terrible, the story is a little hit and miss, and there should be more enemy and puzzle variety – but this is definitely not the shovelware title that the trailer implies. In fact, if the devs can iron out these issues in a potential sequel, then I will be first in line to give it a shot!" ****/2021/01/28/red-colony/

Red Colony is an interesting game for this genre, mixing over-the-top artwork and animation with a Resident Evil-like storyline. You play as Maria, a generously developed researcher trapped in the Red Colony's outbreak as she searches for her daughter. The gameplay is 2D based side-scrolling with some puzzle elements added. While not the longest game, the story can be completed under 5 hours, it is a nice Switch experience worth experiencing.

I bought this game as it looked rather fun it was controls to me felt a little off but I got into the swing of thing solving puzzles avoiding enemy's and a lot of tension thankfully not all the way through was this a regretful purchase no as I actually began to enjoy it a side scrolling resi evil clone to be honest and thankfully even the puzzles seemed just like resi evils and of course there were areas to go to that were never boring just nicely done decent artwork on a budget not bad at all and if that doesn't make you buy it then the sexy women in game will didn't cost me much so I wont slate it too much but Ill have to point out one thing that grated I beat it in just over 4 hours (no spoilers) and I died often I wanted more of the game thankfully there's another game RC2 may be time to play that too..with dinosaurs and even sexier women now that cant be too bad

Dont really get hate for Red colony on the Nintendo switch i thought it was a decent little game for relatively low price point on eshop. Its kinda like a 2D resident evil title with alot mechanics like solving puzzles, fighting zombies etc. Plus you get to explore many locations like factorys, schools, homes during the outbreak. There some genuine scares to ... that made me jump afew times, there are items, weapons to craft, discover. While some of the animation feels little janky on main character I still enjoyed what i played. Its not perfect, all woman in the game have massive chests making them very over sexualized but other than its alright.

A game that harks back to the old days of gaming with its 2D side scrolling looks and manages to capture that resi feel it was going for. It has a few problems but I think it's very much a love it or hate it game. ****/jCSoEAZK7rs

Red Colony certainly isn’t the worst game. It has some aspects going for it, the art is beautiful and the underlying framework of an adventure/action game is certainly interesting. It just lacks the polish to push it over the edge. The B-Rated qualities of the dialog can certainly be overlooked, it may not be for everyone, but the clunky gameplay and lack of any depth in the puzzles make this a hard sell.
