The passion put in it makesthe game stand out from the other ones, greatly crafted and purely majestic

A really well done game in the highly underrepresented genre top down four direction shooter mixed with beat em up. There is no game like this AND this game is great. Controlls are very responsive, fight is fun not too complex and not too simple, levels are not very spectacular but okay, enemies show a great variety and the camera changing smoothly within the level from side-scroll style to top down to isometric style is very cool. I don't mind that it is pretty short and the saving points are only at the end of each level, because this is the old school type of game you like to master and play as often until you are perfect. If you can go with this type of games, buy The Red Star!

Based on a comic book The Red Star has well-designed setting despite subpar graphics (even for the PS2). It's a nice and simple beat 'em up with RPG elements and the gameplay is still very enjoyable. The best thing is that most of the combo moves are inspired by philosophical works or concepts!

Excelente híbrido que combina mecánicas beat em up y shmup. 3 estilos diferentes a elegir y un sistema de mejoras interesante le otorgan una gran rejugabilidad.
