Gaming-Age, B+.
The trial is free, but at every moment it's clear you need to buy one of the characters ($10) or all three ($15) to finish the game. And while spending loot in the weapon shop, the biggest button, by far, is one that offers a gigantic pile of in-game gold in exchange for real life money. It's easy to focus on what that means to players who don't spend more money (both local and online co-op are available, competitive and awesome), but one also must wonder how closely the conversion of players is being tracked: From free, to paying, to paying even more. It seems like a safe bet someone's watching and planning ahead.
Gamers Haven, 8.5/10.
If you're looking to have an enjoyable arcade experience with friends or crave the Gauntlet experience, you won't be disappointed with Crimson Alliance. With its simple interface, creative level design, multiple characters, customizable equipment and its supports of online and couch co-op.
WeTheGamerz, 4/5.
In short, this game is a lot of fun to play especially in co-op. I definitely recommend downloading the game (it's free) and the all class pack (1200 points).
Finally, if you're interesting in seeing more gameplay, Angry Joe offers some audio-commented 3-players co-op footage on Blistered Thumbs.
