Red Pistol Brings Dark West Excitement to Players

Red Pistol is a fast-paced roguelike bullet-hell shooter game with an immersive Dark West story on Linux and Windows PC. Brought to life by the creative minds at Ace Horizon Studios. Which is due to find its way onto Steam next month. Saddle up, slap a fresh coat of gun oil on that mouse + keyboard combo (or your favorite gamepad), and get ready to get into the wildest Dark-West bullet ballet this side of a plasma screen. Since Red Pistol roguelike bullet-hell shooter is riding into town and it doesn't come empty-handed. Picture this: scorching desert wind, cracked earth, and an undead stampede hungry for gunslinger tartare. In the middle of it all stands Reed Renson—the West’s sharpest shot, quickest wit, and possibly the last sane soul left under that blistering sun. Reed’s got one simple goal: track down Varius Valentine, a slick vampire overlord pumping the frontier full of zombie rot. Valentine didn’t just bring friends; he rolled in with a posse of nightmare bosses you’ll absolutely like to hate. And it's all due to arrive on July 15th.

The major bosses:

Iron Heart – an armored knight who looks like he crawled out of a cursed history book and decided bulletproof was a lifestyle choice.

Soul King – puppeteer of wailing spirits that will chill your bones even on a summer day.

Blazing Crown – a fire mage so hot the tumbleweeds actually sizzle.

Each creep guards a blood-red crystal that cranks their power to eleven. Due to turn your average showdown into a full-blown boss opera. Red Pistol gets personal. Now, Reed’s no fool—he’s not about to throw punches at zombies and hope for the best. He’s packing the classics: trusty six-shooter, heavy-hitting revolver, a pump-action shotgun that feels like thunder in your hands, and, because every gamer’s heart goes boom-boom-boom: an honest-to-goodness Kalashnikov. But the real magic? Movement. Every screen floods with gnashing corpses, and standing still is a one-way ticket to snack-ville. Dash, weave, slide, repeat—your WASD game is about to level up.

Red Pistol | Release Date Announcement Trailer

Speaking of leveling up, every kill coughs up XP exclusive to that single run. The deeper you wade into the gorefest, the more intense the upgrade pool gets: fragmentation rounds that shred crowds, vampiric bullets that feed you mid-fight, regeneration boosts so generous they feel like cheating, or downright supernatural sidekicks who join the fray with their own flashy tricks. No two Red Pistol runs look the same—ever. You’ll trek through three gnarly biomes, each owned by its crystal-clutching tyrant:

Desolation Sands – sun-baked dunes crawling with rotting drifters.

Whispering Pines – a gloom-drenched forest where spirits hiss in your ear.

Crimson Mansion – an imposing gothic fortress where Valentine waits, cape billowing, fangs gleaming.

Survive a zone, snag some bounty cash, and retreat to camp—the only safe patch of dirt in this nightmare. Here, you spend hard-earned coin on permanent perks: more HP to shrug off bites, XP multipliers for faster power spikes, slicker reloads (because an empty mag during a rush is an existential crisis). Stack these, and a fully kitted run clocks in at a heart-pounding 20-25 minutes—perfect for a lunch break adrenaline shot or a quick stream segment. Oh, and Linux rebels: fear not. Red Pistol boots natively on tux-powered PCs right alongside Windows, so you can dual-wield Vulkan APIs and cowboy swagger without firing up Proton. Performance is smoother than a saloon piano riff—FPS stays high. The roguelike bullet-hell shooter is cooler than the underside of a rattlesnake. So grab your Stetson, crank those speakers, and let the casings fly. The Dark-West apocalypse ain’t gonna clean itself up, partner—and Reed Renson sure could use an extra trigger finger. Lock, load, and show Valentine how the real legends write history via Steam.

Game idea:

3rd person bullet hell but the gimmick is you're on a train and so have limited space to dodge bullets. The enemies are on the ground and either move very fast or are just everywhere. Upgrades will be like "by pressing shift you can slightly slow down the train" or "add a cart to the train" and "add a gun to the side of the train" in addition to the normal bullet hell upgrades.

Is this anything?

DON'T STOP, YOU'LL DIE! Devblog #5 Adding more level variety!

Now the level generator is playable to a degree, I thought now would be a good time to start adding variety to what rooms are included in the generation!

Being a roguelike, you want to ensure that each run is new and fresh to the player in some way, and in the game's current state the easiest way it to have a large variety of rooms for the player to explore and fight enemies in! When creating these rooms, I've catagorised them in 2 ways; Small, Medium and Large rooms. Small Rooms are, well, smaller; Close quarters combat, tight spaces to dodge and putting a low amount of pressure on the player to make every shot and dodge roll count!

Medium Rooms are slightly bigger and give the player a bit more breathing room. These rooms are suitable for a higher amount of enemies, as well as ranged enemies that like to keep a distance from the player.

Large Rooms are for bullet-hell madness (bullet hell aspect still to come)! These rooms will be packed to the brim with enemies, traps/ hazards and environment assets the player can take cover behind to avoid taking damage!

Next up, to accomodate for the various room sizes, I had to create different length corridors to join those rooms, and with a bit of tweaking to the generators variables, these are some of the levels I am now able to create!

Starting a series as I struggle my way through getting better at this fun roguelike with MMO-like raiding. And also I like being a bunny girl. lol

Been experimenting this week with a new feature, modifying other upgrades with extra effects. Very good potential for breaking the game

Ghostslayers - an indie co-op spell summoning roguelike

Details under Read More

Heya! Our team is making a pixel art top down roguelike about summoners shooting spirits with shotguns and spells. Blast and cast through skeletons, possessed objects and ghosts.

We are trying to make a wizard game that we ourselves would love to play, so we're taking inspiration from games like Magicka and Wizard of Legend.
