Evaluation
Red Hot Vengeance launched on July 11, 2019 as a free-to-play twin-stick shooter. In the weeks following launch, the developer (Bros Before Giraffes) shipped a steady stream of patches — nine feature/improvement updates and two bug fixes — addressing things like editor bugs, localization, input handling, and gameplay tweaks. The last of these updates was posted on August 11, 2019. Since that date, there have been no further developer communications of any kind: no new patches, no announcements, no roadmaps, and no DLC listings. The store description presents a complete, self-contained package (10 campaign levels, 30 challenge levels, New Game+, a level editor with Steam Workshop support) with no mention of planned additions. The game launched as a finished product and received a brief post-launch polish period before going quiet. There is no evidence of any planned or upcoming content.

About this game
He had one rule: No killing women or children. When a hitman is double-crossed by his employer, he brings forth a night of carnage and bloodshed.
RED HOT VENGEANCE is a twin-stick shooter with a dark and violent storyline.
Main features:
In the aftermath of blood, smoke, and fire, a mob hitman is reborn as the spirit of pure bloodlust fueled vengeance. There is no time for mercy as you shoot your way through 10 levels of darkness and depravity. Each chapter is connected to the last through hand-drawn, fully voice-acted cutscenes. As you play through the campaign, you will unlock a variety of weapons each with their own behavior to fit your playstyle. Earn medals for completing challenges, find secrets, and wreak vengeance.
RED HOT VENGEANCE features 30 challenge missions. Each challenge is designed to offer a different experience from the campaign, with more experimental level design and objectives. Try to kill all the enemies with only a baseball bat, or survive an onslaught of police until the time runs out. Play the first couple of levels of the campaign to unlock challenges.
RED HOT VENGEANCE features a user-friendly map editor built into the game. Utilizing Steam Workshop, you can create levels and upload them for everyone to play. While the editor doesn't place any arbitrary restrictions on the user, there are guidelines to making a good, functional level. See the guides section of the community hub for a comprehensive guide on making levels.
