About

The Red Solstice is an isometric tactical co-op survival game developed by Ironward.

In the distant future, a storm broke out on colonized Mars leaving the colonies without contact with the capital. You play as one of the marine corps sent to investigate what is going on.

The game features both singleplayer and multiplayer modes. Singleplayer serves both as a tutorial and a part of a story that continues in multiplayer.

A heavy emphasis is put on the game's class system that features 8 classes from Assault to Recon. The game offers some degree of replayability as every map's feature is randomized and an average play session lasts no longer than one hour. There is some element of RPG mechanics to the game as players are able to gain experience points. There are 25 Ranks and 10 Speciality Ranks. While ranks are an indication of a player's progress in the game, Speciality Ranks are used in order to level up a specific class. With each new Specialty Rank, there is an Attribute bonus for the player.

Different parts of the marine equipment can be replaced in order to change one's stats and customize the playstyle.

The Red Solstice reviews and comments

Really an excelent game for any hardcore players or oldschool game. The grip is very complex at the beginning but the game is good in multiplayer that we absolutely always want to become better and better. 8 class available, which must be debarred with XP, weapons, boosters etc. By far one of my best game for the year 2015

Early access review nostalgic PP on Warcraft 3 FT, I could not help but buy this game. Survival that makes sense, a multitude of weapons and possibilities of combinations with the characters. Although it is difficult to organize with pickup trucks, the missions are feasible. The difficulty increases rapidly from one level to another. A real pleasure with your buddies if you take the Multipack. I noticed some bugs from the client. Need to restart the client, the cursor that comes out of the game when you have 2 to 3 monitors... I'm starting this alpha again.

Early access review the Red Solstice is a mode of Warcraft III originally (resident evil, walking of the dead) for my part I was disappointed at the beginning because the game is very difficult, and playing solo one can be killed by his allies (rocket , grenade, flame Lance, Barrile etc etc) and after finding a group with TS, one improves and after its Roxe of the pony! So I advise the beginner to bring back friends to be able to play in group, to remain grouped in difficulty EASY, and to try not to die while doing some mission and decide a group leader! HF PS: not play too much or you become Acro!

Early Access Review The Game principle is not new. It Is known, for example, from Warcraft III Custom Maps, but here it is more complex and strategic. There are different Classes and Weapons, different Boosters and Maps, as well as numerous Enemy Types and a Level System. Purely in Gameplay, I can recommend it to anyone who loves such Survival Games and is looking for a very nice Co-op title. Unfortunately, the Game completely lacks a Playerbase. With ~ 30 People online, it's hard to get a whole Lobby full. If there was more Activity, it would be much more worthwhile to invest in the Game.

Early Access Review Geiles Game, reminiscent of Warcraft 3 and Starcraft and has an alien touch! What I personally like very much: Without Coop, you can't fire the different Ways you can level (during the Match and overarching, defensive and offensive Style of play are supported (Bunker or Missi-mode od mixed) UNDUNDUND What I don't like yet: From everything still too little (Level, Skills, Equipment etc.) but that should still change developers are trying very hard at the moment, bring patch out And let themselves be addressed to it right after and are grateful for Feedback. The Game is also very often on offer, where the 4-Pack pays off in particular ...
