We’re well versed in taking on adventures to the rhythm of the beat. And it’s exactly that which we’ll be doing with Krimson, a death metal rhythm game that has us dancing with, well, death.
Move to the beat – or die trying!
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S is CryingPsycho’s opus – Krimson. It’s also on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam. If you’re looking for the most gritty of worlds to plunge into, a place where rhythm meets chaos full in the face, you’ve found it.
Priced at £8.39, Krimson is more a heart-pounding journey into the unknown, rather than a typical platformer. It has you playing as an unknown spawn, one left trying to work its way through a labyrinth of hell. The thing is, this world is alive, pulsing, throbbing, writhing – all to the relentless beat of heavy electronic metal music.
What this means – and as gamers we’re more than used to this – but each and every move must be in sync with those tunes. If not? Well, consequences…
Key features

Krimson Description
Krimson is a challenging gritty rhythm platformer featuring heavy electronic metal music. You’re an unknown spawn going through a hellish world as it moves rhythmically to the music. One wrong move means death but the checkpoints are often and death is very short.
