Crimson Dragon is an impressive game that falls short of Panzer Dragoon‘s lofty heights. Visually, it looks better in every way but playable character design. ...It’s lucked into getting a reasonably prominent release during a major system launch, so if it’s ever going to become a well-respected niche again, this title’s success will be the key that opens up the door. It’s got some dings on it, but is still worth traveling through.
Crimson Dragon works well enough as a straight arcade shooter, and there’s plenty of challenge in it. There’s some nostalgic value, too, but it’s weak graphics and frustrating free-flight boss fights make it tough to enjoy the stroll down memory lane.
Crimson Dragon isn’t the worst Xbox One launch game, but it’s far from good. The RPG elements have promise but lack the polish, while the gameplay and visuals fail to resonate on any level. It’s a title that feels devoid of passion, and not even the great soundtrack can save the game’s flying 18 wheelers from utter mediocrity.
