Redux: Dark Matters.

Platform: Sega Dreamcast (indie / region free).

Release: Jan 27th 2014.

May of 2012, Battle Club Gaming reported on a unique Kickstarter endeavour. One which saw developer / publisher Hucast Games partner with KTX Software Development for an up-and-coming ‘space shooting game’.

With KTX taking up programming duties, Redux: Dark Matters signalled the very first independently developed Dreamcast title to seek funding through open crowdsourcing.

This project smashed its 25K goal - reaching target within the first week. By the June 8th deadline, and a hugely successful campaign, Redux had doubled expectation… and then some.

Thank you for your patience.

Not a sequel as such, Redux: Dark Matters has been described as a complete remix of DUX – its 2009 predecessor – Hucast’s first foray into the homebrew DC market. Concept designer René Hellwig told us…

Redux is a total remake of DUX, it brings in a lot of new features such as more weapons like that rocket laser attack and custom controls. Plus, the whole graphics are now HD, they feature way more detail and textures.

With promise of a multi-platform release, the game has seen a lengthy development process. For Dreamcast fans however, that wait is over.

Andre Neumann, renown composer of excellence, provides the soundtrack. A score featuring the equally legendary talents of Chris Huelsbeck, plus remixes from a host of fantastic artists.

Incidentally, complete soundtracks for Redux and the updated 1.5 score of DUX are now available via iTunes. Priced extremely well, both are highly recommended for perusal.

Redux: Dark Matters features:

  • Superb arcade style gameplay, graphics.
  • 7 stages with huge boss enemies.
  • Tons of different weapons.
  • Two player ships to choose from (with differing weapons).
  • Normal and veteran difficulties.
  • Instant respawn.
  • Addictive scoring system.

DC accessories / supports:

  • VMU / memory unit.
  • VGA output option.
  • Original pad and arcade stick.

Redux has a few editions available for purchase, the regular version, a limited and numbered 2-disc set – which includes a 1.5 update of the original DUX game – and, for collectors and Kickstarter backers? A very nice Steelcase edition. DC shmup fans can browse pricing and further details via the official game page and portal.
