TAMPERE, FINLAND - We're happy to announce that as of today, Redgar: The Space Viking has launched to Steam. Redgar: The Space Viking is a hardcore top down shooter containing roguelike elements and the best part? It’s all hand drawn pixel art.
Finland has a rich history in the realm of top-down shooters, dating back to classics like TK, which first graced our screens as early as 1999 - a remarkable 13 years before Hotline Miami rekindled the genre's popularity. We're elated to report that Redgar marks a significant evolution in the top-down shooter category.
STORY
A mysterious rock of unknown origin has struck on to the surface of Earth, bringing with it amazing technology never seen by humans before. As Redgar, a young and reckless space viking, you must save your family from the evil regime of Stratos X, who plans to take over the world with the help of old gods. Will you be able to stop him in time and etch your legend into the fabric of the cosmos?
GAMEPLAY
Redgar takes the best parts from top down shooters and roguelike games. With every death the levels starting weapon changes, giving the player always a fresh perspect on how to proceed – unless you bring your favorite one from the previous level. Lure your enemies in for easy stealth kills or go out with guns blazing like the berserk you were born into. The choice is yours!
Redgar promises a thrilling and occasionally challenging experience that we wholeheartedly recommend. Once you've savored the game's rich story, we encourage you to test your skills in the arena mode or embark on the exhilarating journey of speedrunning previous levels. The latter is made all the more enticing by the ability to monitor your past performance times right from the continue screen.
Join Redgar on his occasionally brutal and bloody adventure, and let the space Viking within you reign supreme!
