Our take on Mute Crimson DX
Rewind mode is presented as making the difficult platforming suitable for anyone, but it remains an optional setting rather than the core play structure. The main campaign still centers on precision movement, combat, and boss encounters across nine worlds.
What is Mute Crimson DX?
Guide Ninja from his home through nine worlds to the depths where the monsters’ evil originates.
The platforming uses sword attacks, double jumps, wall climbing, collectibles, and hidden secrets that open extra modes. Boss encounters appear throughout the journey, while an optional rewind setting lets players reverse mistakes during play. The presentation uses a restricted black, white, and red palette, chiptune music, layered backgrounds, hand-drawn full-screen story scenes, and revised audio. This edition adds two worlds, new enemies and bosses, altered platforming challenges, updated cutscenes, additional music, visual revisions, more secrets, and an unlockable minigame. Buying it also includes the earlier Mute Crimson+ at no extra cost.
