Red Dust
A solo dev's love letter to '90s arcade shooters wrapped in a sci-fi western skin, snappy, unforgiving, and mercifully brief.
GamerScout Verdict
Best for arcade fans who value tight gunplay and know when to quit while ahead.
Compare Prices(5 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Red Dust
Red Dust grabbed me immediately with its top-down chaos and deliberate pixel-art crispness. The gunplay feels immediate and skill-gated without pretending to be something it isn't: you position, you aim, you survive waves of incoming fire. The gritty sci-fi western setting isn't just window dressing; it shapes the weapon feel, the enemy design, the whole vibe. There's no bloat here, no padding, no tutorial stretched into three levels. What you get is lean, focused action that respects your time. What holds it back from essential status is its reliance on mechanical repetition over variety. If arena-based shooters where positioning matters more than loadouts don't grip you, Red Dust won't convert you. But for players who loved Nuclear Throne or Hotline Miami's pacing and want something that knows exactly what it is and stops before overstaying its welcome, this deserves a spot in your rotation.
