Red Star is a beautifully executed beat 'em up game that has made its way to the iPhone platform. With its intense mix of fighting, shooting, and adventure, it is no wonder that it has received rave reviews. Slide to Play gives it a perfect score of 4 out of 4, calling it a "Must Have" game. TouchGen also praises Red Star, awarding it 4 out of 5 stars.

The game is based on Christian Gossett's celebrated graphic novel of the same name and takes place in the war-torn United Republics of the Red Star, a land reminiscent of Soviet-era Russia. The URRS maintains control through its technologically advanced army and the use of sorcerers. However, the main characters uncover a dark secret that forces them to confront the URRS head-on.

Players can choose to play as three different characters: Kyuzo, a highly-trained soldier; Makita, a swift and lethal freedom fighter; or Maya Antares, one of the URRS's skilled sorceresses. The game offers a rich universe to explore, and its old-school charm and relentless entertainment make it a full game worth the $4.99 price tag.
