Retro Dead Redemption?? | First Impressions - Kill the Crows
2K View2023-08-23Kill the Crows thrusts players into a world fraught with danger and overwhelming vengeance. The story follows a gunslinger consumed by the fire of retribution, wandering through the ruins of a forsaken wild west town and attacked by an onslaught of enemies, both regular goons and those with supernatural abilities.
Starting the game, Kill the Crows wastes no time in plunging players into the heart of the action. As a marksman gunslinger, players are tasked with surviving the onslaught of enemies. There’s really not much complexity here other than moving around, shooting, and surviving. That’s not to say the game isn’t challenging; in fact, it's actually ridiculously difficult. You can one-shot basically all enemies, but all it takes to kill you is also one shot—just one unnoticed bullet, and you're down.
No disrespect to Red Dead Redemption 2’s ultra immersive and borderline-simulation qualities, but this game really did a better job of making me feel like an unstoppable deadeye Cowboy, which speaks volumes for its quality. Not only did I feel like a badass cowboy, but at times, I even felt like Cleric John Preston from Equilibrium, utilizing Gun Kata with the speed at which I was aiming left and right, dispatching enemies in quick succession.
One potential issue, however, is that the game can start to feel a bit repetitive over time, especially after several tries that always bring you back to the starting point. The lack of extensive gameplay depth and variety to offset the inherent repetitiveness of roguelite games might be a concern for some players. Nonetheless, if you're the type who can swiftly overcome these challenges and can "git gud" in a short amount of time, then this wouldn't be a problem.

Play a weird western with crazy cultists and one-shot kills - Kill the Crows Quick Review
SHOULD I PLAY KILL THE CROWS?
Play it if you’re a fan of top-down shooters or are looking for a simple, old-school game you can play in short bursts. Kill the Crows is a western about a lone gunslinger on a quest for revenge. There are no bullet sponges here; players, enemies, and even bosses can be felled by a single bullet, and just one mistake can bring a run to an end. At first, this felt frustrating, but once I got into the swing of things, racking up one-shot kills was incredibly satisfying.ﾠ

Kill The Crows feels like a tediously repetitive slog
Kill The Crows (Reviewed)
Developer: 5minlab Corp.
Publisher: 5minlab Corp.
Released: Aug 21, 2023
Price: $5 USD
Kill The Crows is a top down arena shooter that feels like I was honestly playing a more boring version of Vampire Survivor. The game is basically a dodge, shoot, reload, repeat as non-stop crows charge at you in a variety of forms, including range, melee, explosive, and boss fights if you survive the multiple layers of 100+ waves.
