Read our Immortal Redneck review to see if this Roguelike first-person shooter does enough unique things to give you a reason to buy it!
Immortal Redneck is a roguelike first-person shooter/dungeon crawler in which you play as a redneck tourist, who has been mummified after an unfortunate accident. How did he survive the accident? Why has he been mummified? And why is he now trapped in this deserted desert? All his answers await him within the pyramids, and you must help him find them.
All in all, Immortal Redneck is a fun and challenging combination of old school first person shooter design and rogue-lite mechanics. It does require a great deal of patience and it’s easy to get frustrated when it feels as if the game is punishing you with the available drops, but when you get a good set of weapons and scrolls, you can breeze through the early levels with ease before the pyramids ramp up the difficulty. If you are prepared to make it through the cycle of looting and upgrade and have the patience to put up with the potential for horrible drops, then Immortal Redneck comes highly recommended.
I had some apprehension going into Immortal Redneck, as the last rogue-lite FPS I played was Tower of Guns: a game that frustrated me due to how frequently death would come at the hands of some unseen projectile. However, largely through its surprisingly nimble protagonist, Immortal Redneck manages to feel punishing, yet fair. Rewards are doled out frequently enough that almost every run ends with the ability to upgrade something on the skill tree, allowing the game to maintain a forward momentum that makes it difficult to put down. It’s a shame that only one half of the premise truly shines, but hoo-boy, does it ever shine.
Developer CremaGames blends retro first-person shooting with roguelike elements to create a mostly enjoyable hillbilly adventure.
Immortal Redneck is a fast paced FPS that has a lot of enjoyable aspects and replay value. With over 50 weapons to choose from, there is no lack of fun and exciting firepower at your disposal. The biggest problem I had with the game was the scroll system, repetitive temples, and what felt like an unrewarding grind. Overall, Immortal Redneck is well worth playing.
Immortal Redneck is a mechanically solid game. The shooting feels nice, the game moves well, and with the exception of some enemies being absolute bullet sponges and questionable decisions regarding platforming, it feels like a modern take on early ‘90s FPS like Duke Nukem, Doom, and Wolfenstein 3D. The roguelite mechanics and the run-based structure could serve this genre well, and at times it does provide replayability. However, buying enough stat boosts to really feel the impact takes a long time, and long runs that result in no meaningful progress frustrate. If you’re looking for a sol…

Otherwise, Immortal Redneck is a blast of a game in a genre that we don’t see enough of. It’s not the first roguelike FPS that we’ve seen on PlayStation 4, and I wouldn’t say it’s the best, either. It does, however, have an exceptional aesthetic, clever level design, clean action, a decent difficulty curve, and plenty of longevity. A very worthy action game indeed.
After an alcohol-fueled dune buggy romp through Egypt, a redneck tourist finds himself abducted and mummified by a gang of local Gods. It’s pretty much the only set-up you need for a game like this, and honestly it’s delivered in a surprisingly taut and promising way. So much so that by the end of the intro I had bought into Immortal Redneck’s premise. I was itchin’ to blow up some got-dang Egyptian varmints. But the good first impression quickly fades when you realize how mediocre the game truly is.
What do you get when you cross an undead mummy, a foul-mouthed cowboy and a first-person shooter? You get Immortal Redneck, a roguelike FPS developed by CremaGames. You play as the titular redneck, with the goal of exploring and reaching the top of three great pyramids. You do so by exploring rooms, finding staircases, kicking butt and taking names!
