I may have had my reservations about a game titled Immortal Redneck, but the sheer enjoyment of a well designed roguelite and the satisfaction of progressing with each run were enough to overshadow my disdain of a character so heavily rooted in bad stereotypes.

Immortal Redneck is a game that rarely frustrates, even though it'll kick your ass. Repeatedly. Why? Because it always feels fair. The controls are perfect, the visuals are charming, and no enemies or traps ever feel overpowered. Being a roguelike you're always destined to fail, sure, but it never feels the odds are unduly stacked against you. As you unlock new characters, bolster your stats and become more knowledgeable about the game, you know victory will one day come, and that makes your desire to keep at it even stronger. Immortal Redneck is perhaps the best roguelike I've ever played because of that fact, and it's a title you should definitely check out now that it's available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

It may not immediately strike as a must-play title, but Immortal Redneck shouldn’t be overlooked. With tons of replayability, tense fast-paced gameplay, fluid controls and enjoyable combat, this is a game that will offer great gameplay for hours on end. To bring things into context, Immortal Redneck is exactly what you could expect to find if you were to blend Serious Sam with Indie 2015 indie hit Ziggurat, and I for one find that to be an exciting prospect.

I was surprised how much enjoyment I got doing basically the same thing repeatedly. I entered the pyramid, slayed dozens of enemies, stole their gold, died, upgraded and did it all over again. I love how each run never felt like a failure, despite ending with death. Upgrading my character meant that the next run was that much easier, barring any terrible scrolls. If I had to change one thing about the game, I wish I didn’t have to lose all my leftover coins. I would love a way to bank them, even if a fraction of the total had to be sacrificed. I can see myself returning to Immortal Redneck for a long time, whether to farm coins or attempt to beat the entire game in one sitting. As a shooter, a platformer and rogue-lite, Immortal Redneck might be your next gaming addiction.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, Immortal Redneck isn’t as one dimensional as your typical redneck and offers hours of fun with loads of replay value. For fans of classic arena shooters with Rogue-like and RPG elements thrown in for added value. The lack of checkpoints within the pyramids are frustrating at first, but this becomes less painful as you level up. I do wish Crema Games would lessen the holy tribute toll to only a percentage instead of taking all of your remaining gold to enter pyramids. Immortal Redneck is a rare gem you shouldn’t miss.

Immortal Redneck toma una variedad de elementos y los combina para entregarnos un juego bastante divertido y que incluso a veces llega a ser frustrante, sobretodo por esas veces en que estás apunto de acabar con todos los niveles de la pirámide y sale un minion de la nada para matarte.

Es divertido, bien recompensado, con una variedad de personajes adecuada para probar, y que por supuesto tendrás que ir desbloqueando, así como aquellos niveles que son un reto más allá de solo eliminar enemigos, es un juego que tiene un buen equilibrio en calidad – precio.

While Immortal Redneck doesn't necessarily bring anything new to the table, it does successfully combine the speed of old-school FPS like Unreal Tournament and Quake with roguelike elements to make a pretty fun little game worth your time if you don't mind a little grind.

It’s not perfect though, as even though there are several weapons to unlock and find along the way, a lot of them feel undercooked. Plus, some of the boss mechanics lean a little too heavily on the side of increasingly more difficult patterns to learn. That being said, it’s still worth checking out. Immortal Redneck is the sort of game that seemingly comes out of nowhere, where initial curiosity leads to hours of fun. For fans of old school shooters and the rouge-lite setup of games like Rogue Legacy then it’s well worth equipping Grandpa’s Blunderbuss and venturing into a pyramid filled with adorable but dangerous snakes and flying skulls.

Immortal Redneck's melting pot of genres is a success. Regardless of whether you came for the shooting or the roguelite aspects, you'll be pleased with the handling of the two genres. If you love both, Immortal Redneck should take its rightful place on your Must Buy list. The game even hits all the right notes when other genres, like first-person platforming, are thrown into the mix. Don't expect anything amazing from the six bosses, but the eight characters, 50+ weapons and more than 100 scrolls are still more than enough to make each procedurally generated playthrough unique and fun. Roguelite newcomers will be at home with permanent upgrades and mechanics that encourage players to succeed, and veterans can still get their hardcore fix with the Cursed and Plague Medallions or the 20 lives achievement.

Immortal Redneck is a blistering fast and excellent FPS bridging the perfect amount of dungeon crawling. I was overly pleased with how fun and ridiculous the whole thing was providing a grand time. There are so many weapons to come across and a pile of weird enemies to eliminate on your way to the top. I didn't at all mind death here and welcomed it at times because I knew the next run could be better with what I was working towards. It's got the right amount of variation here and it will definitely be hard to ever be bored of this one. Immortal Redneck was really enjoyable and if you like this type of wild shooter, it's a solid example of what can be done with the genre. 

Immortal Redneck propose tellement de façons différentes de jouer qu’il peut proposer de nombreuses heures de jeu. Les pyramides générées aléatoirement renforcent la découverte qui ne s’arrête jamais. On se demande toujours sur quoi va t-on tomber. La difficulté monte crescendo étage par étage. La mort punitif peut être un frein mais ça oblige le joueur à jouer de la plus belle des façons. La progression du personnage grâce à l’arbre de compétence et des nombreux parchemins est très visible au cours d’une partie. On ressent vraiment sa puissance. Vous pouvez y jouer de nombreuses heures avant de voir venir pointer un bout de lassitude. Son contenu est vaste mais ça aurait été bien d’avoir un peu plus de pyramides avec encore plus de variété dans leurs conceptions. Pour son prix il vaut vraiment le coup de se plonger dans cet univers variés et immenses.

Como amante del género roguelike, Immortal Redneck se postula como una alternativa más que agradable a la que invertir horas, con ese pique tras cada muerte de “una partida más y lo dejo” que nos hará ir mejorando poco a poco hasta sentirnos más poderosos que el paleto inicial. Se sitúa entre los títulos a tener en cuenta del género, y eso ya es mucho decir, por lo que solo podemos instaros a probarlo y a disparar plomo a diestro y siniestro por el antiguo Egipto.

Un FPS que recoge gran parte de la esencia noventera como Doom o Quake, aumentando su calidad para la next gen.

Immortal Redneck does a great job of blending dungeon crawling with a first-person shooter, but the game's lack of enemy variation and presentation issues make enjoying it difficult after awhile.

There is plenty to enjoy about Immortal Redneck, but none of it is for me. Thankfully, the most prominent technical issues should be easily correctable through future patches and updates. Immortal Redneck comes at the steep price point of $19.99, which I find difficult to defend. Unless you’re riveted by these kinds of games, my recommendation is to wait a bit as a title like this is sure to hit Games with Gold and Playstation Plus within the year.
