Red Game Without a Great Name for PC, PSV and etc. is a bit steampunk two-dimensional arcade game developed by iFun4All, a subsidiary of Bloober Team, a Polish development studio. The title initially came out for mobile devices powered by iOS and was later released on PlayStation Vita and the PC.
The action takes place in a world of the future, however, outdated communication methods, such as traditional mail, are still in use. Since it is a rather dangerous place and some regions cannot be reached by ordinary messengers, some deliveries are carried out by specifically designed mechanical birds. The players assume the role of such a robot which mission is to deliver secret mail.
The gameplay consists of 60 varied missions in which we traverse various, rather hostile locations that are full of traps and dangers. In each of them, our task is to safely deliver a package and collect gears that are scattered around the levels (there is 180 of them in total). Luckily, the bird we control is not entirely defenseless and has the ability to teleport and to use various power-ups, among other things. This allows it to come out in one piece from dire situations and deal with every difficulty.
Red Game Without a Great Name for PC, PSV and etc. offers atmospheric two-dimensional graphics powered by the Unity engine. As the name suggests, the dominant colors are various shades of red. The visuals are accompanied by a pleasant, somewhat swinging soundtrack.

Game Ratings for Red Game Without a Great Name Video Game.
Twinfinite: 2.5 / 5 by Chaz Miller
Despite the fact that Red Game likely works better in its original mobile form, it still offers some fun. The frustration may require some patience to overcome if you want to break through all 60 of the game's artistically-presented levels, it may well still live up to the $4.
Nintendo Insider: 5 / 10 by Daniel Lipscombe
Yes, this last point would occur on any touchscreen system, but here it feels even more ludicrous because the Switch is a system that has sticks and buttons. The developer could have experimented with implementing these controls into the game, rather than just shoehorning the Red Game Without A Great Name onto the system. It’s a real shame as the premise itself is appealing and the art style is sumptuous and brooding. But, beauty is only skin deep, after all.
Nintendo Life: 5 / 10 by Jon Cousins
There is no shortage of quality games to play - covering a wide range of genres, styles and just about any other criteria you could ask for - in the Switch eShop library. Red Game Without a Great Name ends up being disappointing, then, as you'll likely become frustrated with its occasionally inconsistent touch-based controls, along with its initially cool but repetitive mechanic and devilish level design. It attempts to hide its flaws behind some stylish yet derivative silhouette designs and some pretty cool jazz tunes. In the end, though, we have an average game with a bad name.
