Redgar: The Space Viking – A Hotline Miami Inspired Action Shooter
Redgar: The Space Viking drops players into a unique retro-futuristic world where medieval fantasy meets science fiction. You play as Redgar, a young space Viking fighting against the oppressive regime of Stratos X. With levels ranging from castle-like spaceships to neon-lit alleys and shadowy dungeons, the game offers a visually distinct setting for its fast-paced, top-down combat.
Fast-Paced Action with a Sci-Fi Twist
Taking clear inspiration from Hotline Miami, Redgar delivers intense gameplay that emphasizes quick reflexes and precise timing over complex character builds. Instead of modern guns and blunt weapons, players wield swords, axes, sci-fi firearms, and energy shields. You can approach enemies stealthily or dive into chaotic corridor fights, choosing the right weapon for each encounter.
Player Reception and Gameplay Length
Though Redgar has a modest number of around 40 user reviews on Steam, 95% of them are positive. Players praise the energetic soundtrack, the large variety of weapons, and the game’s brisk pace. Some criticism centers on occasional difficulty spikes and control quirks. According to HowLongToBeat, the game is fairly short, with an average completion time just over four hours.
