Prison run and gun videos. Crimsonland is a top-down dual stick arena shootervideo game with role-playing elements. It was developed by Finnish studio 10tons Entertainment and published by Reflexive Entertainment in 2003. In 2014 a re-release through digital distribution followed.

Gameplay[edit]

The player is placed in the middle of the map while enemies gradually enter and make their way towards the player. The player has to eliminate the enemies before their health reaches zero. With each death of an enemy the player will gain experience points. Each level the player gains, the player can select special perks that range anywhere from faster reload times, faster shooting speed, faster movement, to status effects like radiation (creating an area of affect around the player that damages all enemies within its range), poison bullets, and many others. Randomly, when an enemy is killed they will drop a bonus that may be extra points, temporary invulnerability, fire bullets, slowing of time, and many others.

The game also offers local multiplayer for two players on the original and up to 4 on the re-release. In a multiplayer game, all players share the same experience and perks but are free to pick up any weapon or bonuses that may appear.

Game modes[edit]

The game features four game modes. There is a secret bonus mode (puzzle mode), developers never said if completing the puzzle led to something.

Quest mode

The player has to complete 50 levels each with their own starting weapons and enemy layouts. As the player completes each quest they unlock weapons and perks.

Survival mode

The player tries to survive as long as they can as waves of enemies come after them. All perks and weapons that have been unlocked are available.

Rush mode

The player is equipped with the AK47 and has to survive as long as they can without any perks or bonuses.

Typ’o’Shooter
Crimsonland Survival

The player remains stationary in the middle of the map and is equipped with a shotgun. As the enemies make their way towards the player there is a word hovering over them. In order to shoot at the specific enemy the player needs to type out the word and press Enter. The longer the player survives the longer the words that appear over the enemies.

2014 re-release game modes[edit]

With the re-release of Crimsonland in 2014, new game modes were added.

Quest

The player has to complete 60 levels each with their own specific goals and weapons. While the main goal is to eliminate all the enemies, how that goal is accomplished is different. Many quests do not give the player the option of picking up alternate weapons. Also, perks can be disabled in the game's options screen to add even more difficulty. There are three levels of difficulty that the player can select from and if the player completes a quest with full health, a star will be marked on the quest in the quest selection screen.The quest mode is where the player unlocks most of the game's weapons and perks.

Survival

The player has to survive as long as they can while wave after wave of enemies appear at an increasing rate. All perks, weapons, and bonuses that have been unlocked are available in this game mode.

Rush

The player is equipped with the AK47 rifle as monsters and spiders make their way towards the player from the left and right sides of the screen respectively. This mode does not have perks or bonuses.

Nukefism

The player does not have a weapon in this game mode. Instead, the player needs to pick up bonuses to eliminate the enemies. This mode does not have perks or any point-based bonuses.

Weapon Picker

The player only has the bullets found in the weapon he picks up, there are no reloads. Weapons are randomly dropped throughout the map.

Blitz

Like survival mode but everything is increased. The monster count is increased to make the play time much shorter than in Survival mode. All perks, weapons, and bonuses that have been unlocked are available in this game mode.

Gembine

Gembine is a hidden game within Crimsonland. The game is very similar to the puzzle game 2048. The player is presented with a 4x4 grid and using the arrow keys, the goal is the combine the gems to create larger gems. With each combination of a gem, the player receives points. To play the game, the credits from the main menu have to be selected and typed as 'gembine' with the keyboard.

Development[edit]

Originally developed by 10tons Entertainment and released as freeware/demo version, in 2003 a commercial shareware version with publisher Reflexive Entertainment followed.[1][2] The game was re-released and self-published through digital distribution in 2014 with updates to graphics, perks, weapons, enemies, and game modes.

I posted this solution at 500k Survival chievo but I think I can post it here too:250k is easy with Gauss Shotgun, Plasma Cannon, Splinter Gun, BUT, let's do better trick:This is not a solution like 'Pres A, A, B and that's all'.This is not a boosting tip.This game requires still a lot of skill to do it.I can tell you and show how to do it much easier than you think but still you need be good at this.So.I did 2nd place World Record and I think I could do better but I missed a shield.1. Just play and get perks or not (sounds weird) but I will explain.2. Get Splitter Gun. (1st you have to finish Grim mode Quests to get this weapon)3. Get the MOST IMPORTANT perk in the game, Regression Bullets.4. Other good Perks: Lucky, Bonus Economist, +30% exp (at the end), Unstoppable.5. Good Perk at start is Infernal Contract cause you get 3 Perks extra instead of one.Ok.

Motorstorm apocalypse full walkthrough no commentary. So start to play, any weapon, just kill, get 1-6 Perks and Splitter. One of this must be Regression Bullets.If you have this combo - shoot, play. Points go down, no perks? That's ok.I played about 17 minutes. At the 12th-14th minute I had 0-40.000 points.

That was still cool.And then about 14:30 fun starts.Many, many, many monsters will appear.Now you shoot and take every bonus, freeze, shield, freeze, shield and rest (try to avoid 3 way plasma). Try to use 80-90% shield then take freeze, wait till it's over and take shield.Regression Bullets won't take your points down any longer cause you will be able to kill hundreds of monsters every 5-10 seconds. Now you have to survive about. 1-2 minutes and that's all.

If you get 1-2 perks till 13-14th minute, now you will get many.Movie below.I think it can be done with Rocket Swarmer and Plasma Cannon too.If you excepted to find here easy solution for noobs - nope.I give you a great tip but still you need some skill.(this is my movie on xbox account).Enjoy!Upvote nice to see if you get this chievo thanks to this guide.:).
