You’ve got to respect Finnish developer 10tons’ no nonsense ‘tude.

Instead, it’s you and a gun, against a growing horde of nasty mutants that are hellbent on seeing you pushing up those virtual daisies. There’s no overly complex narrative or hidden meanings here. It’ll take you approximately three seconds to “get” what you need to do, and that’s a big part of the game’s likeable charm. You move, you shoot, and you occasionally reload, and that’s about it.

Very much like the classic arcade shooters of yore - Smash TV or Geometry Wars et al - the beauty of Crimsonland leans heavily into its ardent, unpretentious simplicity. The latter iteration has landed on the eShop, though the question is: Does this blast from the past still hold up? Well, if you’re in the mood for shooting lots and lots of mutant spiders, then, yes - there’s absolutely fun to be had here, albeit for an afternoon or two.

That analogy is apt, too, as this top-down twin-stick shooter is a bit of a vintage classic, which released on PC back in 2003, and was later given the remaster treatment for PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox One and iOS. Like that old Ronseal advert from the nineties, Crimsonland does exactly what it says on the tin: It delivers buckets of blood that’ll paint your screen as sanguine as a vintage bottle of cabernet sauvignon.
