This has to be one of the most pleasant surprise purchases I made. From what I read in the forums, this is apparently an Apple Arcade title that got then released on PC, set in the same universe as the Redout racing game. I come totally blind and not too knowledgeable of the development on Redout: Space Assault but I love arcade on-rails shooters like Panzer Dragoon, Star Fox, Rez, Omega Boost and many others so I …

This game is tailor made for someone like me, who is an arcade gamer from way back. Especially considering the low cost, I find the negative reviews on this to be quite surprising to be honest. There really isn't too much to say here.. if you like the feel of Space Harrier style gameplay with spectacular modern graphics, then you will enjoy this. If you want a space sim with depth of any kind, you will despise this. …

This isn’t Star Fox. Redout: Space Assault may vaguely resemble it on the surface, but it’s not. Your ship even has a similar profile to an Arwing from the rear. Yet it lacks most of the qualities that make a game like Star Fox good. What’s especially disappointing about this is that it seems to be piggybacking off of the “Redout” name without having any of the polish or quality from that game. If it wasn’t from the …

Was pretty excited for this, as I'm a fan of arcade style space combat games but wound up really disappointed. It feels slow and floaty while the shooting isn't fun since it's so automated, which is really bad for a (mostly) on rails space shooter. The way the levels feel like they just loop you around the same area over and over is boring, so you don't feel like you're on a daring attack like you would in a Star …

I’m not sure where to begin with Redout: Space Assault. I supposed we could talk about how the game is deceptively using the “Redout” name to lure in potential customers who were fans of the 2016 anti-grav racing game or maybe we can talk about how this is a poorly conceived mobile game ported to the PC with little effort. No matter how you approach it, Redout: Space Assault is just not a very good game despite …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some reviewers here don't understand that some people - me included - ACTUALLY WANT RAIL SHOOTERS. I find open all-axis games disorienting, daunting and boring, while rail shooters, due to their linear nature, can be faster, focused and more action-oriented (and are less time-consuming). Giving this game a bad review because its a rail shooter is like complaining a racing game is bad because you don't like racing - brilliant. This genre of games unfortunately, comprise a very small minority of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been playing Redout 2 and, whilst I think it's cool as shit, I feel like a racing game that has a starting crusing speed around 800kph, has 2 separate steering systems, and has 2 boost systems, might be designed for someone who doesn't have a 39 year old's reaction times.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man the reviews are a cluster**** clearly the people leaving negative reviews expected a different type of game, and want this game to be something it's not. It's a good ol' arcade shooter, with mechanics very similar to the Afterburner series. And it does it really well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good to see someone supporting the Rail Gun genre. Pretty great production value for a game like this, and I think it brings some much needed optimization to the classic formula. The one thing its missing is a really iconic design style, though for something on this scale it's definitely 'good enough.'
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this on release trusting the team that made Redout... ...And found the following: - The controls are awkward with keyboard and mouse. - The shooting consists of spamming ENTER to shoot the missiles. - The 2D character portraits feel out of place in the beautiful 3D world of Redout. - The UI lacks feedback and polish. I wanted to like this game but my disapointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Star Wars Racing can have me flip so fast on a dime from "Hell yeah. Modern Hydro thunder meeting Redout. Love this game." to "I hate this alien. I fucking hate them for crashing me. I hate this alien. I hate this alien. Oooh I want to reach over my vehicle and pop them in the back of the head"
positive · AI labelView post →I'm genuinely pretty upset about Space Assault. Redout is one of my all-time favorite games but Space Assault does not live up to the original. It gives me a feeling that there is very little control over my ship and my aiming, and the weapons auto shoot and auto aim, although I expected somewhat strange controls since this was ported from mobile. In addition, what I do have little control over does not feel so satisfying, since the game-play is so simplified. There's almost no back story,…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is hard. I really wish there was a more nuanced rating system on Steam. That said, I'm going to have to give this game a negative rating, even though it breaks my heart to do so. If you were a fan of Redout, or interested in RSA because you like space combat games in general, I would not recommend this title. Redout Space Assault, very much retains the feeling of its mobile roots, it's not terrible, but also suffers from the diminished scale required for mobile games. Control: The…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The original plan for this game seemed interesting and ambitious. What it became is sorta-okay Star Fox. I feel let down, especially when comparing it to Redout the racer. Just a weird game, all around.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Avoid it even for free. A mediocre story, not multiplayer (that at early development said it has), only 1 ship with various skins, moderate graphics, on rails, very few missions with freedom... The only good part is the outstanding music it has.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Went into thinking it wouldn't be that great since it was riding on the RedOut name. Was pleasantly surprised. The game is pretty solid for a on rails SHMUP. If you go into this thinking its something else you will be disappointed. It plays a lot like Star Fox mixed with the Tornado missions from Sonic Adventure. Pros -The UI is solid, easy to get through. -The voice acting is solid. I dunno bout the story, but even if it isn't your thing you can skip the dialogue. -Gameplay is straight…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Things I liked: *Graphics - It's a very pretty game! Great environments and models. The 2D character portraits are well drawn, too. *Music - The soundtrack is fantastic! The previous game also had a top notch soundtrack, so I'm not surprised that quality continues *Gameplay - It's not terribly complex, but it's fun. Reminds me a lot of Starfox, but smoother and faster. I've played through 5 missions so far, getting all the optional objectives for the first 4. There's a good variety of mission…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was so excited when I found out that 34BT was making a Redout prequel, and even moreso when I found out it was gonna be a space shooter... Imagine my disappointment when I found out that my ship was permanently locked in one direction and my guns would only fire if there was an enemy right ahead. The controls were horribly and the action was beyond boring. I ended up forcing myself through days to continue doing the campaign until I finally, finally reached a free flight mission... ... and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like Redout but without the "Redout" part.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One thing needs to be absolutely clear - if you want to buy this game because you like the Redout racing game... don't. Take a careful look at Youtube and some gameplay videos to check what you are getting yourself into. The best thing about the game is easily the music. The worst part about this game is... it cannot decide if it is a rail shooter or something else... it is mostly a rail shooter but handles worse than most rail shooters I used to play. So far I only have one single ship…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh boy, where to start. This is one of those games where it really doesn't take much time to see how poor it is, that said, consider this my first impressions. This game has less mechanical depth than star fox 64, horribly unreadable combat, and extremely simplistic physics that lack a satisfying sense of momentum when you move around the screen. The story might as well not exist since no effort is made to ground the player in the lore. I've played through the first 2 missions, and the only…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is nothing like the original Redout, don't waste your time, breath, or money. This could've been better ported to a phone, and oftentimes I feel like this was from a phone initially.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For example, I wanted more Wipeout, I discovered Pacer and Redout 2. I wanted a motorcycle racing game, I discovered the Ride series. I found Elite Dangerous and Everspace looking to fill the Colony Wars shaped hole in my heart. There's so much to discover if you look for genre and gameplay!
neutral · AI labelView post →#9: Aero GPX This one is early access, but there's enough there to jump in and just have a blast now. This is IMO the first actual game to feel like F-Zero since F-Zero GX. Redout, Wipeout, and XF EXTREME FORMULA please do not apply. If you don't buy it for the gameplay, buy it for the soundtrack.
neutral · AI labelView post →i need a game that's like, Redout for rallying rally callouts and setups and narrow paths but you're in some fuckass hovercar or something jumping across planets
neutral · AI labelView post →First of all, game isn't bad. I had mixed feelings on first few chapters because game was really focused on on-rail gameplay parts but the further you go in campaign, the more freeflght sections there are. And in my opinion they're well-made. Especially those from last 3 or 2 chapters. However I miss post-endgame content. After you're done with campaign... there's nothing interesting to do. All you can do is replay previous missions and blast every enemy with maxed out ship. No campaign+, no…

neutral · AI labelView post →However many people say they don't like the game, I've been enjoying it very much. Sure it isn't the best game I've ever played, but it's quite enjoyable, nonetheless! I think it was worth the price tag. I even got the Deluxe Edition, because I really liked the music from the first Redout game and this music is also very good.

neutral · AI labelView post →TL;DR - This game is painfully mediocre and not worth your time. What makes it so bad? Well there's a saying that the whole is worth more than the sum of it's parts and unfortunately Redout: Space Assault is made from a litany of cheap and half-assed parts that fail to come together. The OST is dull and generic with some occasional electronic music thrown in to indicate "HIGH STAKES TENSION" occurring while otherwise being un-noteworthy space opera esque filler. The voice actors all sound…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game. Kind of like Starfox-lite but with some grind and more upgrades and unlocks. You can do barrel rolls with RB or LB or right stick, you can temporarily speed up or slow down...controls very much like Starfox but with modern aesthetic, but no loop-de-loop or free roaming areas. A lot of reviews are people complaining about it being "on rails", I guess all of those people would have not recommended Starfox or House of the Dead....great games. On rails type games have their place and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Damn, this game looks beautiful and once you get used to the controllers flows very well. I would have prefer the use of keyboard AND mouse for control and direction but so far this is a unique experience. it´s like an old school shooter mixed with everspace, I have both games and both deliver a very different and beautiful experience. For the negative reviews it is definitely not for everybody so check some gameplay before buying, do the research. For me it is worth the cost and surpassed my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is 85% rail shooter, 15% free flight in short mission sequences. Its shining moments are in large scale dogfights, occasional fast-action sequences, and bullet-hell dodge & weave combat, but the design of some levels and mechanics doesn't bring out those moments effectively enough. It certainly has enjoyable gameplay for the price point, but currently there are bugs and other design issues that hold it back just barely enough to not recommend it currently. Details: The rail…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those games that could do with a neutral option. For those that loved Redout and considered it as a spiritual successor to Wipeout, and heard about this game 2 years ago, and assumed this would be the equivalent of Colony Wars, then think again. Unfortunately this is nothing more than a very simplistic Mobile on-rail shooter. It does look beautiful and like mobile games, this can be fun for an hour or so to pass a bit of time, but really nothing more. The gameplay is bland and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For $10, you get to play a Starfox-esque rail shooter. Music is good, gameplay is good, voice acting is meh. Really exited to keep playing this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#9) REDOUT by 34BIGTHINGS This is my most favorite racing game, ever. (Don't talk to me about the sequel.) Redout is an antigrav racer with both tail and nose grinding, meaning you have to adjust your pitch as you go blindingly fast up and down the magnetic tracks... 1/2

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL/DR: Good, simply old school arcade fun. This is a rail shooter with Starfox-esque feel, nice visuals and music. Fun albeit not groundbreaking. Priced right. Let's address the elephant in the room: this is a mobile game port. If you are looking for a star citizen/elite dangerous/eve online experience look elsewhere. This is a pick up and play game, but it doesn't mean it's bad. Now that that's out of the way: It starts a bit slow but then progresses nicely, around 6 or 7 missions in you…

Dirt Rally 2.0 or WRC 10 if you'd want to try sims. Redout 2 for very fast Anti-grav. Sly Cooper series, PS2 emulation. First game is more arcadey than the free-roam 2 + 3.
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, not great. Probably worth the money spent on it. (I got it while it was on sale) The main disappointment is that the potential is there. This really could have been something great. It does have some conflicting draws between the high speed adrenelen of the Redout Franchise, and the classic space railshooter (which can get to bullet hell levels a points.) The Grindy bits with the ship upgrades really shouldn't have been there. And they do present a blocker to the later levels, as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Redout: Space Assault is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. You might be fooled as some token effort went into porting this to consoles and PC, you can even change the resolution and controls, and the graphics are polished... but that's just to cover up the low poly assets, a limitation caused by the iPhones this mobile app was designed for. Trying to play this is a decidedly unpleasant experience...…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This title just does not give me that sense of speed that I got from the first Redout. If this was called something else this might have been a good game but this lacks that Redout feeling of mind melting movement.

positive · AI labelView post →8. Best soundtrack Redout gets my medal here: it’s a game I started playing because of the soundtrack!
positive · AI labelView post →I have. But Redout isn't big enough to bring a lot new AG players in. This, by virtue of having a budget behind it, and hence marketing, will. And that's the kind of thing that keeps the genre alive. BNG is fantastic, but it's mostly being enjoyed by people who got into the genre through WipEout.
neutral · AI labelView post →Seriously, the Wipeout games are incredible. I’ve been thinking about buying another ps4 for that game alone… Sony is doing that ip such a disservice. Have you played Ballistic.NG and Redout 2? Redout 2 has the most insane track layouts, hull management, and handling. It’s divisive, but I think that a lot of the hate the game gets is from people who pick it up as their first AG racer.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wipeout is one of my favourite series so wanted to share this. Almost certainly it started my love of the genre, the symbolism, the music and other games like Rollcage, Fast Racing Neo, F-Zero, Redout and GRIP.
neutral · AI labelView post →Redout is a weird one. It got a lot of comparisons to F-Zero because of the speed but it plays a lot more like Wipeout, or like an F-Zero/Wipeout hybrid. It’s very fast, and the steering mechanics are interesting as it requires using both joysticks to steer through a lot of turns. I like it, but find it pretty difficult. The ships tend to be a bit floaty and the main thing is controlling well to not hit walls as they utterly kill your momentum. With BallisticNG, it does ape on Wipeout a lot…
neutral · AI labelView post →23) Redout The first racing game I've played in damn near 20 years, this is a real throwback to the PS2 era of futuristic fantasy and F-Zero inspired racers. The action is intense, the tracks are sprawling and difficult, and the visuals are gorgeous (provided you don't get overwhelmed easily). A+!
