Take down your enemies in exciting roguelike game, I See Red

The time has come for you to head into the cold depths of space and get revenge against the fiendish humans, robots, and aliens that wronged you in I See Red, a new roguelike shooting game.

I See Red, Gameforge and Whiteboard Games’ dichromatic, twin-stick, roguelike, shooter is now available on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store! Players can use a wide range of weaponry to take down opponents by any means possible. And if you fall, it’s no big deal, as a cloning machine will send out a new version of you to (hopefully) finish the job. 

I See Red Press Release

Today, Gameforge, a leading publisher of popular massively multiplayer online games in the West like AION, OGame, and Swords of Legends Online — and developer Whiteboard Games announced their gritty, award-winning, top-down, sci-fi roguelike shooter I See Red is now available on PC. A console launch is already planned for the near future.

Focus on what really matters in the dichromatic I See Red: revenge. Enemies surround you in this stark black-and-white world, with scarlet streaks highlighting the most violent villains. Every asset in your arsenal, from your guns to your grappling hook, can be used to pull you into the action and make Aliens, Humans, and Robots pay. But even should you fall in battle, that won’t be the end of it in this roguelike. Your clone will appear, allowing you to use everything you learned from the previous attempt to ensure you make the universe remember your name.

“I See Red started when five students came together back in March 2020. It’s been a crazy journey that resulted in the birth of a new team: Whiteboard Games,” said Luciano Musella, President and Founder of Whiteboard Games, and Director of I See Red. “We are extremely proud of what we accomplished. We hope all that hard work pays off and players can feel the love we poured into I See Red’s gameplay, aesthetic, and music.”

Main points

I See Red is an award-winning indie game that claimed the grand prize at Argentina’s 2021 EVA Awards and was dubbed IGN Rogue Jam 2022’s “Most Eye-Poppingly Beautiful Game.” In August, I See Red won “Best Visual Art and Design” at GameConnection x ChinaJoy’s Indie Development Awards. 

I See Red is a fast-paced and frantic story of rage and revenge. The year is 2621. You are an outlaw traveling the infinite depths of space, searching for those who have wronged you to dish out the ultimate punishment. With a unique dichromatic aesthetic, your view of the world is consumed by wrath as the targets of your retribution appear in a deathly red, while the rest of the world around you fades to gray. Consumed by anger, everything that surrounds you can be destroyed — ship hardware, furniture, and most importantly, enemies.

Uncover a host of diverse weaponry, augments, skills, and abilities to lay waste to your foes as brutally as they deserve. As a top-down, twin-stick roguelite, every playthrough unlocks a stronger version of yourself as you improve your very own cloning machine. Bring entire ships to total collapse, exercise justice against invading spaceships, Robots, Aliens, Humans — the entire galaxy. Rage and crush them all. Rage and make them pay. Rage and get your revenge. You. Must. Not. Stop.
