[Redacted]

With a colorful art style and roguelike hooks, Redacted has little in common with The Callisto Protocol besides a shared setting, yet it's a similarly uneven experience.

Redacted has all the addictive core elements of an enjoyable roguelike: a good variety of weapons, abilities, and synergies with a well-polished presentation. The racing rivals and random events keep runs feeling fresh, although its comparatively short runtime and relatively lackluster melee combat prevent it from being one of the greatest.

[REDACTED] takes the world of Callisto Protocol into a brand-new genre for an experience that roguelike fans will surely spend hours conquering.

The inspiration from Hades is more than clear, but unlike Supergiant's title, Redacted doesn't seem to have the same depth and ultimately the same feel.

[REDACTED] won't be a cult classic, but it can quench your thirst before a new portion of Melinoe's adventures.

A fairly standard roguelike, [REDACTED] is nevertheless a fun, if brief, return to Black Iron Prison. Just with a much more colourful, flashy aesthetic!

In all honesty, [REDACTED] has really surprised me. I was incredibly sad after finishing Callisto Protocol, whereby I was left wanting more of the carefully and beautifully crafted world. [REDACTED] turned that sadness into room by room run addiction. I never knew I needed to return to the Black Iron Prison in a completely different way than first intended. With everything Striking Distance Studios have brought forward this time round, [REDACTED] has made it’s mark and sits in my top games for 2024. I SALUTE YOU SOLDIER! I award [REDACTED] the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.

[REDACTED] is a successful roguelike game that takes us back to the Jupiter moon Callisto. The game's unique, comic-like look is particularly impressive, providing a fresh and entertaining change of pace.

Redacted ain't no lazy Hades clone, instead it offers an experience that is unique amongst the crowded Roguelike genre. Put up with the steep difficulty and slow progress and you'll experience an immensely enjoyable game, one that is cram-packed with slick combat and brilliant characters.

[REDACTED] is a great Hades-inspired roguelite that wants to introduce new elements to stand out from the crowd and ends up throwing a spanner in the works on its own. Forget the race for freedom against rivals, and we will have an excellent dungeon crawler on our hands with a bunch of weapons and uniforms to unlock to tear zombies, monsters and bosses apart in an increasingly brutal way. Let's try to rely on the clashes with the other fugitives, and we will be disappointed. The gameplay formula is still relatively fresh, the artistic sector is excellent, so let's launch into this new ordeal without caring too much about originality.
