Atari VCS
2 min readApr 27, 2021

Red Rust, by indie developer ArtSource Digital, is coming the Atari VCS.

It’s the year 1984 and Soviet KGB agent Red has been sent to the West on a secret mission. Attractive, tough, even brutal, Red sets forth on a journey that exposes her to boss battles, plot twists, and just maybe some emotional discovery.

Red Rust is a joyous mash-up of styles. A side-scrolling kick and punch battler than mixes in shooting. Flying and driving levels that not only change the pace of the game, but the orientation. A visual approach inspired by 16-bit hits of the 90s, but updated with lush graphics, cut scenes, and the smooth game mechanics made possible by the Unity game engine.
