Reception

The Red Solstice received mixed reviews upon release. The game currently holds 68% on Metacritic based on 12 reviews.[3] The reviewing site GameCritics praised the game stating "Solstice Chronicles: MIA is a breath of fresh air in the twin-stick shooter genre. The threat system makes it feel like nothing else out there, transforming it from just another run-and-gun into something far more strategic and complex. It’s not a complete success, but it manages to add a satisfying amount of strategy without skimping on the action, which is a feat that I’m shocked no one has managed before."[4] On the other hand, ZTGD was less positive, criticizing the absence of co-op and the rough edges of the game, as well as the bad storyline.[5]
