Today, publisher Gameforge and developer Whiteboard Games shared a hit list of the bosses in I See Red, their upcoming dichromatic twin-stick roguelite game. Study these dangerous foes well; you’ll have to use every trick in your arsenal to exact your crimson-soaked revenge.
“We put a lot of work into designing these antagonists so that they all feel fresh, challenging, and different. We want the players to encounter Aliens or Robots for the first time and be forced to change their approach,” said Luciano Musella, President and Founder of Whiteboard Games, and Director of I See Red. “You constantly have to be on your toes, adapt, and—by the end of the game—become a true master of I See Red.”
Viktor Ivanov
Viktor Ivanov is the first fierce opponent who’ll feel your wrath in I See Red. To achieve his goals, this former space military commander will draw on contacts he’s got to former officers and business partners to acquire assets like weapons and Printing Matter. This mysterious man is the reason you experienced so much anguish, and it’s time you returned the favor.
Armed with a highly customizable minigun, complete with a laser, grenades, and two chainsaws built into it, Viktor is prepared to inflict as much pain as he possibly can. All of the additions to this experimental weapon come at a cost, though, as its weight slows him down significantly. Keep an eye on the dispensers in the area when you face him. This way you can prevent him from refilling his grenades when he runs out!
Commanding Sister
The Sisters do the Empire’s dirty work in I See Red, and the Commanding Sister is their queen. She leads a group of assassins made up of forgotten and abandoned little girls, giving them a home, a sense of purpose, and a desire to kill to survive.
As you’d expect from an elite assassin, the Commanding Sister relies on misdirection and deception to achieve her goals. With her holograms you’ll never know where your true target lies! Her energy containers can create dangerous laser fields or explode to drive you away, while her energy spheres litter the battlefield with electricity. Make sure to neutralize these obstacles to give yourself time to heal and replenish your supplies.
Mother and Father
Every alien you defeat in I See Red comes from a single source: Mother and Father. Once you reach them, you won’t just be dealing with the parents, but also their children, which they spawn to fight by their side.
The entire room the Mother and Father lives in is your enemy. It never stops reproducing throughout the fight, continually generating eggs that hatch into creatures like Brute Aliens, Toxic Aliens, and Hunter Aliens. Worse yet, as you show how much of a threat you are, Mother and Father’s bones will pierce the floor like spikes, aiming to impale you and spewing toxic fluids that will pool around you.
What Remains of Viktor Ivanov
What Remains of Viktor Ivanov is the physical manifestation of how the best intentions can go horribly wrong. The result is more machine than man—and your deadliest and most mysterious foe yet.
I See Red is a fast-paced and frantic story of rage and revenge. The year is 2621. You are an outlaw traveling the infinite depths of space, searching for those who have wronged you to dish out the ultimate punishment. With a unique dichromatic aesthetic, your view of the world is consumed by wrath as the targets of your retribution appear in a deathly red, while the rest of the world around you fades to gray. Consumed by anger, everything that surrounds you can be destroyed—ship hardware, furniture, and most importantly, enemies. Uncover a host of diverse weaponry, augments, skills, and abilities to lay waste to your foes as brutally as they deserve. As a top-down, twin-stick roguelite, every playthrough unlocks a stronger version of yourself as you improve your very own cloning machine. Bring entire ships to total collapse, exercise justice against invading spaceships, Robots, Aliens, Humans—the entire galaxy. Rage and crush them all. Rage and make them pay. Rage and get your revenge. You. Must. Not. Stop.
I See Red is already an award-winning indie game, claiming the grand prize at Argentina’s 2021 EVA Awards and IGN Rogue Jam 2022’s “Most Eye-Poppingly Beautiful Game.” In August, I See Red won “Best Visual Art and Design” at GameConnection x ChinaJoy’s Indie Development Awards.
