About the story
The plot follows the misadventures of Ed, a simple mechanic, in the world of intergalactic show business. Once upon a time, an alien ship smashed into Ed's house and while he was unconscious an evil alien girl stole his face and captured Ed to use him in a cruel intergalactic 'Hunger Games' aka Astro Monsters Show. You will play as Ed and explore the behind-the-scenes inner workings of the galactic gladiator tournament, solve mysteries, and earn fame among the alien masses, all to get the stolen face back. The game has a few alternate endings.

Worth Playing
By Cody MedellinThe concept behind Redneck Ed: Astro Monsters Show is fine. Going through battle after battle in a galactic game show is a workable premise, and it's only been done a few times before. However, from the dated references and the half-baked presentation to the cheap deaths and lackluster combat, it is difficult to stick with the game after a few levels, since it game does its best to drain any semblance of fun from the experience. Unless you have the patience and willingness to deal with the lack of polish, pass on this one.
GameGrin
By Alana DunitzA challenging battle game that has you fighting head-to-head against aliens in a reality TV show to gain your freedom. It takes a while to get used to how the controls work and feel, but once you do this is a very addictive game.
GameMAG
ByRedneck Ed: Astro Monsters Show shows some really stylish visual and great characters designs, but sadly the game is far from polished state, which is disappointing, given that it's not an early access release.

By Andrew FarrellRedneck Ed can be fun at times but the poor gameplay balance, underwhelming controls, and crude visuals make it a hard game to recommend.
