Our take on RedEx
The defining twist is the freedom to fill the battlefield with turrets and decoys while fighting as a saboteur, bringing tower defense setup into a 2D shooter.
What is RedEx?
RedEx is a 2D shooter with tower defense mechanics and minimalist pixel art.
The player takes the role of a saboteur fighting mercenaries working for RedExpress, a logistics corporation used as a front for an underground smuggling organization. Turrets, decoys, and other equipment can be placed across the field, with room to try different tactical setups. The arsenal ranges from pistols to heavier weapons, and character choices change the style of play. Enemies carry varied weapons, while location bosses provide additional fights. Characters can also be upgraded.
