The Outerhaven Productions 4/5

"At the end of the day, Crimson Moon doesn’t need to reinvent the Soulslike genre to be worth your time. It knows exactly what it wants to be, a quick, loot-heavy romp you can tackle solo or with a friend, and it does that well enough to earn a spot in your rotation. The camera hiccups and a few control quirks keep it from being a home run, but for $20, it’s an easy recommendation. Sometimes a game doesn’t have to blow you away to be worth playing, and Crimson Moon proves that."

"Crimson Moon is what happens when you combine Soulslikes, Roguelikes, and tie it together with good music. A good time for action fans."

COGconnected 78/100

"I had a lot of fun with the game’s combat, which supports both solo and duo play. I can easily see developer Probably Monsters adding more levels, monsters, and gear. With a few patches to iron out the camera, Crimson Moon will be a solid choice for fans of fantasy action"

The GameSlayer 7.5/10

"Overall, Crimson Moon is a solid, highly accessible action game that succeeds by focusing on fast-paced, "run-the-gauntlet" combat, deep gear customization, visceral executions, and a standout symphonic metal soundtrack. While its weak narrative, repetitive side quests, and limited execution animations prevent it from reaching greater heights, it remains a thoroughly enjoyable experience if you go in with managed expectations."

But Why Tho? 7.5/10

"While its less-than-stellar features can be a game-breaker for some, Crimson Moon is an engaging, unique game that offers several great features."
