On clipped wings, vengeance soars.

<span class="bold">Way of the Red</span>, a 2D action platformer about a warrior who must reclaim his life through spectacular violence, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.

You are a birdman. A fearsome warrior of a near-extinct race, known for your unparalleled skills at swooping down on wings of death. But one day humans take away your wings and your sword and set you on a path of brutal revenge.
The art of killing is in your blood - they think they've weakened you but with your swift moves, masterful sword strikes, and special abilities, you shall make short work of the fools standing in your way. Exploit the environment and your opponents' slow reflexes to reach Spire City and confront the sadistic king who sits at the core of all this injustice. Be careful, though, or you might lose yourself in all this carnage...

Bathe your blade in the blood of your disrespectful enemies and walk the <span class="bold">Way of the Red</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 10% discount will last until November 22, 5:59 PM UTC.

Forum popping, and bought.
Could be alright, doesn't look that great to me though.
There's more jumping in that trailer than in a Mario Bros game
I think I'll stick to Owlboy.
"You are a birdman".

*hears michael keaton's fearsome screech*
Fine, sold.
Huh, I was actually more interested in the game before watching the trailer. The chiptunes are a little too flat, and the game looks really frustrating. Will still wishlist it, though.
Is this game made by a solo developer? If so, congrats on getting on GOG. The game definitely looks interesting, though I'd have to play it to see if it doesn't get repetitive.

I think it'd be nice to have a gogmix or list of games that are fully or primarily solo efforts.

"... as you travel through the gorgeous pixel art environment."

Um, yeah, about that... I wouldn't call it gorgeous, but at least the style is consistent, unlike many other attempts at "retro" games.

This looks quite solid overall, will probably pick up a copy at some point.
Odd... It's not available on Steam yet. Apparently this game is currently a GoG exclusive!

I'm pretty sure that will change pretty soon - or there was a mistake somewhere along the way.

[EDIT] The Twitter account states that there were technical difficulties with the Steam release. A reversal of what usually happens with GoG games. Hopefully things work out.

There is a demo of this game
Dude... you startled me. I saw your pic and thought... wait a minute, I haven't posted in this thread yet!

Anyways, looks like a nice enough game, but I'll be waiting for Linux compatibility. C'mon, DirectX optimization constraints cannot be the obstacle on this one.

Seems a bit too mashy from the trailer and playing the demo. Maybe it'd be more fun if it wasn't based on just stunlocking the enemies until another one attacks you from behind. Also the demo ran at 30 fps.

If someone's played the full game and it's different to the demo, please chime in.
What, no "hardcore", "unforgiving", or "brutal difficulty" in the discription? Very well then, I shall wishlist this one, rather than ignore it like I do those other ones.
