The Ultimate Carnage Experience.

Crimsonland, the SHMUP that shoots first and forgets to ask questions later, is available for 70% off on GOG.com for the next 24 hours!

There is no time to waste on a backstory, there are no space marines, no zombie apocalypse. It's just you, the creatures, and over 30 unique weapons at your disposal - some are shooty, some explode, and some are just plain unusual. As you unload your fury on anything that moves, you'll earn perks for that additional kick of awesome: set monsters on fire with a glance, turn into a ninja, or unleash a deadly plague. This 2014 remaster of the textbook shoot 'em up is everything a fan could ask for: tighter controls, a colorful high definition spectacle, and the ultimate carnage of local co-op for up to 4 players. As you progress through the game you'll unlock new weapons and perks to build your arsenal for the ultimate challenge: Survival Mode. If you're nostalgic for the experience that captured gamers' hearts back in 2003, we're throwing in the original Crimsonland as part of the package!

Shoot 'em all up with a touch of RPG in the remastered Crimsonland 70% off on GOG.com! The promotion lasts until Tuesday, December 23, at 10:59AM GMT.

Seriously? One hour and still not popped in the forums?

Nice promo but i think that anyone who was interested in this, had his/ her chance to buy it in the Fall Sale.. That been said, i don't think there will be many people that'll buy this today, especially since the Nordic sale is happening at the same time too! :P

But anyway, 70% off is a very good discount! ;-)

Probably shouldn't buy this, since I already went over budget, but this looks so much like Phobia II....

This is a pretty cool game to blow off some steam in shorts bursts of time. I highly recommend playing the classic version first (included in the bonus downloads) as I didn't like the remastered version that much, reasons given here.

For its current promo price, I definitely recommend picking it up if you want simple mindless carnage. This game even manages to outclass the Alien Shooter series in terms of carnage, in fact I can't think of a game with more blood on the dance floor than Crimsonland. It is aptly named, that one must admit. Just please, do check out the classic version first!

EDIT: Forgot to point out that the remastered version has all the splatter while the classic version has (imho) better gameplay, so you should try both to see what suits your taste more.

Already have the game, just popping in to say one thing: I am really enjoying the writing in these news posts. Which is amazing considering that only a year ago, I would cringe and try to avoid reading them. Is this the same person writing these? Because if so, serious kudos for vastly improving your skills. It's genuinely fun to read these posts now - they actually manage to get a chuckle out of me on a consistent basis, which goes way beyond the call of duty for a simple news update. If it's somebody else writing them, then congratulations for the great hire. You made spending my time (and money) here a lot more pleasant.

They were recently looking for a copywriter, but the job listing is no longer there, so I guess they found one.

Maybe I'm getting confused, but isn't the classic promo usually on Monday, and the indie promo on Wednesday? Is it just getting switched up this week?

Yeah, this game reminds me of all the arena shooter flash games out there.

Thanks, nice to know! Anyone else have any opinion on the gameplay in the remake versus that of the original?

It is actually a classic promo, the original was released in 2003 and is included in the bonus downloads.
