Red Eclipse Reviews

[Evropi]

Hey, maybe we should have a forum thread for all reviews of RE.

Here is one by TuxArena from... just yesterday, in fact! A very favourable review indeed, though the reviewer seems to have been greatly underwhelmed by the sounds in the game.

There are quite a few already documented as well:

The following is a summary list of Red Eclipse in the media and on the
internet; it is not intended to be a comprehensive guide. If you are
looking to collect bits and pieces for use in your own media, it is
appreciated if you focus on what makes Red Eclipse unique, rather than
using any comparisons to other games.

A review a sibling of mine wrote:

http://exigentduality.com/SAReviewWharf ... latform=PC

It is a bit out of touch (it was written when v1.0 debuted), but it was largely a fair piece I believe at the time. I'd be curious to see how he might think jumping into v1.4.
