## What is Redout?

THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARCADE SPACE SHOOTERS IS HERE
Redout: Space Assault puts you in control of a Super Orbital Recon Fighter during the 2395 Colonization of Mars: dive in the fastest, most epic and exciting arcade space battle you can experience on an Apple device. Outsmart, outmaneuver, overpower, outclass your opponents in lightning-fast, adrenaline-inducing single-player space combat.

You play as Leon Barret, ace fighter pilot of the Poseidon Security Forces. Here at Poseidon Corp., we are trying to pave the way for the colonization of Mars, as mankind is struggling for survival, split between a depleted hot Earth and a cold, claustrophobic Lunar colony. Your job is to maintain order by eradicating rebels and space pirates, facilitate our scientists' research while keeping them safe, and protect all our personnel from the numerous external threats.

Dive down into gigantic asteroid mining plants, shoot down Rebel drones and fighters, roll left and right avoiding enemy fire, unleash impossibly powerful missile volleys, but also race against stray pilots and space scavengers at breakneck speed for the sheer thrill of it.

By completing missions you will unlock Cards and Tokens to upgrade your fighter's Hull, Shields, Energy Weapons and Missiles until you are able to go up against massive Capital Ships and single-handedly shift the tide of the war. 

In an interplanetary struggle where nobody is good or bad, you will experience Leon rising through the ranks, the meaning of “necessary evil”, the cost of integrity and ultimately, what it means to take a stand.

FEATURES
Career mode - learn every skill you need to survive and triumph in the Redout Universe.
Many Thriving Worlds - exotic locations, grandiose events and epic battles beyond every frontier.

Pimp my Ride - upgrade your spaceship to scale it up: let them come by the dozens, or single-handedly take on a Destroyer Warship! Drop and swap Cards to improve single aspects of your ship and better fit your style. 
Music for your ears - An entirely dynamic soundtrack that will drop sicker and sicker beats the tougher the experience gets!

LOTS TO DO IN SPACE
Fight enemy Drones, Fighters and all sorts of enemy ships in rail shooter sections: avoid missiles and buckets of bullets while you take them down one by one.
Explore Iridium mines and abandoned space structures in search of hideouts, resources, and Rebels: enjoy the freedom of movement, cut your engine power to squeeze through narrow passages, but be careful not to scratch your paintwork. 
Race through enemy installations, behind enemy lines, through gigantic space battles, or against space pirates for a quick buck.
Assault Capital Ships in specially designed missions that pit you against gigantic vessels: each with unique strengths, weaknesses and special attacks, each a turning point in the narrative of the game!

FAST-PACED SPACE ACTION
Redout: Space Assault comes with the Redout Adrenaline seal-of-quality. Every ship movement, from rolling to avoid missiles to pushing the limits of your ship via the enhanced boost, will make you feel like you are actually driving a space-capable fighter jet, on the brink of control. You will not need to instantly become a Top Gun in order to enjoy the game, but you will definitely need some skill if you want to achieve all bonus objectives and max out your fighter stats!

### 1/5 — Does not save progress.  I’m tired of starting over

*2023-06-23*

After playing the same first levels 3 times I give up.  Doesn’t seem to auto save. Exit to menu and hit save—does not load on next launch.   Offline, no luck.  Developers don’t understand how to use Game Center saves evidently

Game play was “meh” at best. Great graphics but just a lot of hold a button and fire.  No real strategy or skill.  You just get pushed on a path and wiggle the joystick.  No branching or decisions.  

Navigation menus and upgrading are terrible.  The menus use tiny icons that don’t make sense.   To upgrade your ship you have to try to start a campaign the upgrade then back out. 

Not sure if they treated this outside their own group, but it reeks of beta and not quite finished UI workflows.  

I recommend giving the developers a few major revs to work it out.  Then try again.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!! But ain’t no way it’s so dang hard

*2023-05-24*

Daaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnggggggg why did You make dis game soooooooo hard and difficult??? I dunno but I congratulate you guys for making this game but please make the last level of “THE POSEIDON ACE” easier please! That’s all I have to say, but thank you for making this game!! Oh and I’m about to play it😉👋🏾✌🏾

### 3/5 — Pretty good game but ridiculously hard races

*2023-05-12*

This could be a great game if it weren’t for the stupidly hard race levels that are mandatory to play but almost impossible to beat, especially on IOS touch controls! The idea of sliding one’s finger around to control impossibly tight turns and really tiny spaces to fly through at maximum speed is just dumb. It makes the game unplayable which is a shame since the game is really great otherwise. Make the races skippable and I’d rate this 5 stars. Otherwise it’s exciting, it’s easy to level up and the graphics and soundtrack are really good.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open/start

*2023-01-09, version 1.9.5*

Wish I could give a proper review. But, the app simply crashes within a second of trying to open it. Newer iPad mini. Everything up to date.. 
uninstalled and reinstalled, same same.

### 1/5 — Cannot open game

*2022-12-31, version 1.9.5*

I downloaded this because it looked like a game that I had played a few years ago, but cannot open the app. When I click on it, it opens for a second and then closes the game immediately. I have deleted and redownloaded and restarted my phone. If someone could help me I’d greatly appreciate it .

### 1/5 — A Game You Can’t Even Play

*2022-10-11, version 1.9.5*

Generally, for me to like or enjoy playing a game, I have to actually be able to play it. A game is an interactive medium, not an uninteractive medium. I don’t know how you can bork your programming or what have you to render your game unable to even start but the devs might have a thing or two to unscrew in the games guts because the lack of being able to start the game is NOT on my end.

### 5/5 — Crash or blocking bug

*2022-03-25, version 1.9.5*

Chapter 8 Level 2 has an issue with the last portion of the level. Enemy and friendlies get stuck in place and it seems like all enemies are cleared because no one is shooting and missles don’t lock onto anyone and the ship we need to protect blows up out of nowhere.

### 3/5 — Can't get past level four

*2022-03-04, version 1.9.5*

Not because of difficulty. But Makeba's line of speech won't go on. She just says, "is it true that cap posiedon blah blah blah...?" And then it's flying forever. I'm not sure why this is happening but it's disappointing, this seemed like a fun game.

### 1/5 — Epic game but it won’t let me in

*2021-12-18, version 1.9.5*

It is stuck on the loading screen. It only worked once after 10 tries. I waited 30 minutes for one of the times I tried to load this game. Please fix this.

### 2/5 — Glitch 8-2 Home Court

*2021-12-12, version 1.9.5*

Glitchy game but fun. Stuck on 8-2 Home Court because some enemy ships glitch and free float and can’t be targeted. Causes ship you’re defending to still explode and fail. Please patch this. Have attempted closing game and restarting. Have had this glitch 10+ times and cannot pass even though all targeted enemies are destroyed. Please fix!
