Crimson Tears is a cel-shaded 2004 sci-fi action-adventure game developed by Spike and Dream Factory for the PlayStation 2. The game is set in Tokyo in the year 2049 and revolves around three characters whose home has been destroyed. As seen on the game's front cover, this trio seems human; however, they are actually bio-engineered weapons developed by a company named A.R.M.A. called "mutanoids".
The game plays similarly to many dungeon crawlers except that the combat is in real-time. Unlike in most sixth generation games, the levels are completely flat.
The game has a score of 63% at Metacritic. While critics praised the game's cel-shaded graphics and anime cutscenes, they criticized the game's repetitive nature.
