Redneck Rampage is a 1997 first-person shooter game developed by Xatrix Entertainment and published by Interplay. The game is a first person shooter with a variety of weapons and levels, but has a hillbilly theme, primarily taking place in a fictional Arkansas town. Many of the weapons and power-ups border on the nonsensical, and in some ways the game is a parody of both first shooter games and rural American life. It features music by psychobilly and cowpunk artists such as The Beat Farmers and Mojo Nixon. The game has been re-released on GOG.com and Steam with support for Windows and macOS.
Gameplay[edit]
Redneck Rampage is a first-person shooter and offers a variety of ways for the character to regenerate health or hit points. These power-ups consist of moon pies, pork rinds, and alcohol. A small supply of each can be carried for future use (the two exceptions being pork rinds and Delicious Googoo Clusters, which were used automatically upon being picked up). Each of these power-ups had distinct disadvantages: The more food the character ate, the more flatulent he became (represented by a 'gut' meter in the user display), making it difficult to sneak up on enemies as the character would move forward and make a distinct fart sound frequently after eating. However, eating food did decrease the 'drunk meter' slightly (see below).
When drinking alcohol, the health was restored and as an added benefit the character became somewhat less affected by enemy fire. This only worked to a minor degree, and the more the character drank, the less coordinated he became. Alcohol consumption was measured on a 'drunk meter' in the user display. After consuming a large amount of alcohol, the character's movements would become erratic and the user would have difficulty controlling the character as he moved in directions that did not correspond to the input on the keyboard. The in-game video would also become grainy and less viewable. At the maximum drunk level, the character would simply fall down, followed by the sounds of vomiting and the loss of all motor regardless of user input. All of these effects would pass after a few minutes as the character sobered up. During this time, the character could use weapons and was essentially defenseless. The side effects of both power-up types forced the user to use them sparingly and gave another reason to avoid damage during gameplay. However, one other power-up, moonshine, gave the player increased speed for a brief amount of time, at the end of which both the 'drunk meter' and the 'gut meter' were reset to zero.
Plot[edit]
The game's plot revolves around two brothers, Leonard and Bubba, fighting through the fictional town of Hickston, Arkansas to rescue their prized pig Bessie and thwart an alien invasion. The brothers battle through such locales as a meat packing plant and a trailer park, and battle evil clones of their neighbors. There are also male and female alien enemies. The bosses are the Assface and the leader of the alien invasion, the Queen Vixen.
Add-ons and spin-offs[edit]
Redneck Rampage: Suckin' Grits on Route 66[edit]
Redneck Rampage: Suckin' Grits on Route 66 is a 12-level expansion pack for Redneck Rampage. It was developed by Sunstorm Interactive. The add-on contains several new locations and textures, as well as a new ending.
Redneck Deer Huntin'[edit]
Redneck Deer Huntin' is a hunting game for the PC using the same engine as the previous games in the series. It was developed by Xatrix Entertainment and released in 1997.
Redneck Rampage Rides Again[edit]
Redneck Rampage Rides Again is the sequel to Redneck Rampage, and includes 14 new single player levels, 7 new multiplayer levels, new enemies, weapons, and vehicles, including motorcycles and swamp boats. After Leonard and Bubba crash-land a UFO, they find themselves in the middle of the desert (Area 69). Along the way, they are hunted by aliens and must blast their way through jackalope farms, Disgraceland, a riverboat, a brothel and various other locales. It was developed by Xatrix Entertainment and released on May 31, 1998.
Off-Road Redneck Racing[edit]
Off-Road Redneck Racing is a spin-off racing game released in 2001 for the PC. Unlike the previous games, it was not developed by Xatrix, instead by Rage Games; however, Interplay remained the owner of the IP, and thus they published it. Besides the game's namesake, the only relation to the previous games are of Leonard and Bubba on the box art, borrowed voice lines of Leonard from the original games sporadically used during a race, and slightly similar textures being used on some artwork and also in-game. This is the first and only game in the series not to use the Build game engine.

Reviews for the title were mixed, but even the harshest reviewers were able to appreciate the game's energy and sense of humor. Arinn Dembo writing for Cnet Gamecenter gave the game three stars, and said it deserved 'big points for its psychobilly soundtrack', 'big points for being genuinely funny at times', and offered 'good fun using a crowbar to beat aliens, 'Old Coots' and 'Billy Rays' to death'.[10]

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that 'As creative as much of this game is, its gameplay is same-old, same-old. It's fun, but when it's over, you're more likely to remember the 'Yee-has' and health-replenishing whisky bottles instead of any of the challenge or gameplay.'[11]

Game Review
Redneck Rampage is a comedy/sci-fi first-person shooter created by Xatrix Entertainment and published by Interplay for MS-DOS in 1997.
The game uses the Build game engine, usually considered a 2.5 engine (not a real 3D one). It's the same used on Duke Nukem 3D and Blood.
Xatrix, the American company now known as Gray Matter Interactive Studios, Inc. is also renowned for developing the science fiction saga Cyberia. Between spin-offs and add-ons, Redneck Rampage received 3 continuations. They are Redneck Rampage: Suckin' Grits on Route 66, Redneck Rampage Rides Again, and Redneck Deer Huntin'.
The protagonists of the release are two brothers named Leonard and Bubba. They must embark on a rescue mission to save Bessie, their pig, in a dystopian interpretation of Arkansas invaded by aliens. Also, the extraterrestrial beings led by the Queen Vixen, generated clones of all the neighbors of the main characters, and they try to eliminate them.
The gameplay is similar to any shooter of the time. The protagonist (or the protagonists, if you play in multiplayer) must go through several levels by shooting every living thing with which he makes eye contact. The weapons used in the title are also creations of the saga. Although the game features classic weaponry, such as the shotgun, there are also more creative ones like a dynamite crossbow. Also, one of the great novelties of this game is that the power-ups, despite still giving benefits to the protagonist, also come with disadvantages. For example, drinking beer gives health and extra resistance to the hero, but the excess of it gradually takes away his coordination. Also, eating a lot reduces the alcohol level, but this culminates in the character farting, eliminating any opportunity for stealth.
The colors used by the release are, as one would expect in a game with an apocalyptic theme, dull and monotonous. In almost all the maps, the color grey predominates, and rarely the brown takes prominence, but always with a lack of brightness and saturation that characterize the title. On the other hand, something that can't be missing in this kind of adventures in the sky that despite having moments when it's dark, it's usually red. As mentioned above, this artistic choice predominates in adventures where humanity is facing extinction.
The sound used is very accurate and works perfectly with what the game aims at. It was produced by The Beat Farmers and Mojo Nixon, psychobilly, and cowpunk groups. However, the greatest merit of the game is in the sound effects. The ridiculous audios and dialogues parody other shooters and even the conception of a violent Arkansas farmer. Thus, it manages to turn another monothematic action shooter into a hilarious and memorable installment.
The reviews were mixed. First of all, it was criticized that the gameplay and the difficulty of the gameplay were more of the same compared to other contemporary titles. On the other hand, the sound effects and some adhesions like the use of alcohol were the strongest and most memorable points of the game.
If you are one of those people who like shooters but are bored by the serious tone of the game, Redneck Rampage is a great choice. Between energetic gameplay, a wild story, and funny stereotypical sound effects, this title will bring you hours and hours of entertainment.
