Immortal Redneck Reviews
If you're craving an undemanding shoot 'em up romp that has little time for niceties such as an actual narrative, Immortal Redneck's minimalist carnage just might do the trick.
Immortal Redneck works best as an occasional snack, or a palette cleanser, between heavier gaming meals. Playing for any length of time shows up its shortcomings, but in bite-sized pieces it's a good time. The game's humour is rank and dull, but it luckily doesn't detract from the rather pleasing colourful action the game provides.
Immortal Redneck has clear influences and it takes concepts from Rogue Legacy or Ziggurat, but Crema Games has created a solid and fun game where we can also shoot mummies in the face.

Overall, the design gymnastics Immortal Redneck puts itself through to blend free-form run and gun gameplay with unforgiving roguelike mechanics can be readily apparent sometimes. More often than not, though, it manages to stand up on its core combat loop. It's fun, it's fast - and that's kind of the only string to Immortal Redneck's banjo, for better or worse.
It fails to retain any lasting attention, and amounts to something that is fun, but ultimately disappointing.
There's a greater depth to the level design than you get with most other shooters of this quality.
A fun, simple game, let down by misguided design decisions.
This roguelite shooter is a beautiful piece of work.
Immortal Redneck surprises in how well it balances the needs of a good rogue-like. Risk, reward, progression and variety are all in perfect balance making it a must play.
