Crimsonland is bloodier, more brutal, and remastered for Vita, coming this week

10tons has announced that a remastered version of Crimsonland will be coming to Vita this week.

It'll be released on August 18th in the US and on August 20th for Europe.

Crimsonland is the type of game you can play when needing to let out some frustration.

It's a simple top-down shooter that shoves you in the middle of a battlefield with a weapon. Monsters then come at you and all you have to do is shoot them down. Expect plenty of back-pedalling.

As the title suggests, the game's main feature is the number of bloodied bodies you can stack up. The mobile version of the 2003 PC original was called Crimsonland: Mobile Massacre for a good reason.

As you shoot the monsters into huge, disgusting piles you earn experience. With this you can purchase new weapons and select new perks. Mixing and matching load-outs provides you with plenty of experimentation.

Perhaps you'll try a sawed-off shotgun with poison shells and regenerative health. Or maybe a plasma cannon with faster reload speed, extra ammo, and a longer powerup duration takes your fancy.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to find your favourite load outs. You see, there are 60 campaign levels to work your way through. After that, there are five endless modes to take on with online leaderboards attached.

Shoot, upgrade, and see how long you can survive - that's what Crimsonland is all about.

The Vita version of Crimsonland will have cross-buy with the PS4 version. Always good to know.
