Is Patchman vs. Red Circles worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy stealth adventures with disguises and want to avoid being seen
- Players interested in mixing plant-growing and combat rather than focusing only on fighting
- Players who prefer story-led action adventures with an offbeat anti-hero premise
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a purely linear, fixed-layout adventure may not enjoy its procedural generation.
- Players looking for combat without stealth or farming may find those mechanics central to the experience.
- Players seeking a full-length game rather than a standalone first episode may find the scope limited.
Our take on Patchman vs. Red Circles
The central twist is that Patchman is both the character under the player's control and the anti-hero the game says not to be.
What is Patchman vs. Red Circles?
Patchman must make amends for the Sheeple’s enslavement by the Drone army.
This standalone first episode combines real-time isometric action with stealth, disguises, and farming: search the forest for seeds, grow plants and fruit, and use farming in combat. Players can tear down propaganda, rouse the Sheeple, and disable robots while uncovering the Drone army’s secret. The game uses procedural generation and includes a collectible comic book with plot twists. Its story casts Patchman as an anti-hero the player controls, despite being told not to be him. The game supports gamepad, Steam Controller, mouse and keyboard, or keyboard alone, and includes Steam Achievements, leaderboards, and trading cards.
