Crimsonland is a top-down dual stick arena shooter video game with role-playing elements.

Each level the player gains, the player can select special perks that range anywhere from faster reload times, faster shooting speed, faster movement, to status effects like radiation (creating an area of affect around the player that damages all enemies within its range), poison bullets, and many others.

Randomly, when an enemy is killed they will drop a power-up that may be extra points, temporary invulnerability, fire bullets, slowing of time, and many others.

In a multiplayer game, all players share the same experience and perks but are free to pick up any weapons or power-ups that may appear.

The player has to complete 50 levels each with their own starting weapons and enemy layouts.

In order to shoot at the specific enemy the player needs to type out the word and press Enter.

Also, perks can be disabled in the game's options screen to add even more difficulty.

The player does not have a weapon in this game mode; instead, they need to pick up power-ups to eliminate the enemies.

The monster count is increased to make the play time much shorter than in survival mode.

The player is presented with a 4x4 grid and must use the D-pad or arrow keys to create larger gems by combining smaller ones.
