Developed by Arkane Studios, the studio behind successful games like Dishonored, Prey and Deathloop. redfall, undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games of 2023. The vampire-themed first-person shooter, published by Bethesda Softworks, was released after delays. 2 May day will be released to the market.
We, as Webtekno, had the opportunity to try the game at an event organized by Bethesda Turkey. The preview event, which offers 90 minutes of gameplay, allowed us to get an idea about the game on many issues. So, what awaits us in Redfall? Will it live up to expectations? Let’s see.
A town isolated from the world full of scary vampires: Redfall
First, let’s take a brief look at the game’s plot. Redfall takes place in a fictional town called Redfall in the US state of Massachusetts, which gives the game its name. Failed immortality experiments have left this picturesque town isolated from the rest of the world. full of scary vampires turns it into hell. These experiments are also coming out of the head of a pharmaceutical company called Aevum Therapeutics. In addition to vampires, cultists are all over Redfall that will keep you busy.
Our goal as players is to save a handful of survivors and try to restore the town. both single player It will allow you to play with your friends into co-op mode In Redfall, which has unique abilities, we four different playable characters welcomes. What I liked most about the game were these characters.
Characters that we will have a hard time choosing between are waiting for us:
Jacob Boyer
Jacob Boyer, whom I had the opportunity to try in the game, is a sniper who was a former soldier. This friend has a mysterious vampire eye and a ghostly raven after the extraordinary events of Redfall.
Jacob is a psychic that allows you to quickly lock onto targets. to sniper rifle also has. In this way, you can kill multiple enemies very quickly. Kuzgun, on the other hand, shows you where they are by tagging your enemies with red lines.
In addition, with Jacob invisible You can pass through enemies unnoticed. You even have the opportunity to shoot while invisible, albeit a limited number of times. I can say that this ability can be very useful, especially in places full of enemies, where you need to sneak through. In short, Jacob secrecy and sniping It will be cut out for lovers.
Layla Ellison
Our second character named Layla is a biomedical engineering student. Layla, after an experiment gone wrong telekinetic skills gained. We can say that the abilities of the character will be very useful in the game.
Layla’s first ability is to summon a telekinetic elevator. Thanks to this elevator, you will be able to quickly reach high places such as roofs and find different entry points to the buildings. Another is a telekinetic umbrella. This umbrella protects both you and your team from incoming bullets. shield It also allows you to harm them.
Finally, Layla’s most notable talent is, turned into a vampire ex-boyfriend. This makes your job in the game a lot easier by having Layla’s ex-boyfriend fight for you.
Remi De La Rosa
Our third character is Remi, a combat engineer. ‘To Remi, determined to save Redfall and the survivors’Bribon’ It is accompanied by a robot named and some useful abilities.
Remi can damage all nearby enemies with an explosive. In addition, while playing Remi, you can direct the robot Bribon to a place you want and distract the enemies. You will also be able to heal your friends with the help of a checkpoint.
Devinder Crousley
Described as a ‘cryptozoologist’ and a promising inventor, Devinder is the fourth and final playable character in Redfall. Devinder, the funny member of the team, with their own weapons fighting vampires and cultists.
The first of Devinder’s abilities is a weapon that you throw like a javelin, allowing you to simultaneously damage enemies in that area. Another is that it can neutralize enemies with a weapon that emits ultraviolet light. This ability can allow you to control the crowd and destroy them more easily where you encounter a lot of enemies.
The character’s most useful ability, in my opinion, is able to irradiate. By throwing a device, you will be able to teleport to the location where it fell. This can enable you to act quickly and support your friends. You can also quickly change your place in boss battles and make your job easier.
Redfall will be a game that you can enjoy much more while playing with your friends
Although Redfall is defined as a cooperative story-based FPS, it can also be played in single player mode. We were also able to try the single player mode in the event; however, we did not have the opportunity to examine the co-op mode. Although Arkane says that Redfall is built in such a way that you don’t miss anything, no matter what mode you play, playing it alone can get a little boring for those who don’t like these types of games. Also when playing in single mode have an internet connection needs.
So playing with your friends can be a much better experience than playing alone. It will definitely be much more fun to try to save Redfall by choosing the character you want and collaborating with your friends. One of the advantages of playing together is that the whole team can benefit from the abilities of the characters.
Redfall will let you play with your friends from different platforms crossplay will come with support. The good news is that you can experience the game with your friends, regardless of platform, whether you’re on Xbox or PC.
A huge world full of mystery waiting to be discovered
of redfall open world We know you will have. I had the opportunity to experience this world in the 90-minute session. I can say that a very successful job has been done in this regard. It is possible to explore every part of the island town of Redfall in detail without getting bored.
In the world of the game, you can travel to many different areas of Redfall, from the vampires’ nests to the places where cultists gather. Navigate the streets, find safe houses or rescue civilians, it’s all up to you. This way, you can help save the town, uncover mysteries, and increase your enjoyment of the game by doing side quests alongside the main story. Of course, if you like the open world concept.
Such features put the game far ahead of its peers with a 4-player co-op mode, such as Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood. The fact that he carries traces of Arkane’s DNA all over him immediately sets him apart from the others.
From the graphical side, Redfall has its own lines of lines. While the graphics aren’t top-notch, this will help deliver smoother gameplay and allow more players to access it. It should be admitted that the game has a unique atmosphere with its characters and scary place designs as if they came out of a cartoon.
Of course, there is a gameplay element in the game that some players may not like. The game does not stop. So when you are on the pause screen, the action continues from behind and you can die. This can be a minus for some and a plus for others.
‘Vampires’ eager to suck your blood and ‘Cultists’ who adore them
It is possible to say that the vampires in the game are also good. The character is pretty well designed. Killing vampires isn’t easy either. From you faster and stronger They can also have irritating abilities. Things like flare guns, stake guns are very useful for killing them. You can also stun them with traditional weapons. After that, a stake must be driven into their hearts. I thought this part was very enjoyable.
Judging by the cultists, I can say that they did not attract me much. Killing these enemies is much simpler compared to vampires. The concept of characters affiliated with cults that we see in games like Far Cry 5, who follow something blindly anyway, is not a subject I like because they are not handled very well in general. So I don’t know if it was necessary in Redfall as well. But when the game comes out and I play it in detail, my opinion may change.

It is also a matter of curiosity whether the story is handled and whether it can attract actors. Although I spent most of the event period exploring the open world, I played a small part of the story. While the main story itself was quite interesting, the things done while doing the quests didn’t exactly convey the same sense of curiosity to me. Instead, it was more enjoyable to explore the world and try to clean up vampire nests. Of course, it’s also quite possible that this happened because I didn’t play the game from the very beginning.
Countless weapons will accompany you in your fight to save the town
One of the best things about Redfall. weapons and accessories of the diversity to be too much. The stake gun, which allows you to kill vampires with a single hit, the ultraviolet light gun, the flare gun are just a few of them. While exploring the game, you will encounter many weapons and by improving them, you will be stronger against your enemies.
It’s too early to say whether Redfall will be one of the best games of the year. Even if it fails to do so, it will definitely be one of those productions where you can have a great time, especially when you play with your friends.
How much does Redfall cost?
