you play as a reformed monk who's forced to slaughter their way to revenge. it sounds right up my alley! the first 5-6 levels were fun and interesting, with stealth, parrying, combos, interactive environment, and brutal executions all the way! then, a quarter of the way into the game, it jarringly turned into dead space, and the game was absolutely ruined. endless waves of monsters that will swarm you, stun you, and …

When John Wick retires to a Russian monastery… and still can’t catch a break. You play as Vasily, a man who tried inner peace, but decided fists were better than forgiveness. The game is basically 6-8 hours of absolute mayhem, with melee kills so satisfying they might make your underwear musty. It’s short, sweet, and brutally entertaining. Not perfect, but definitely fun.

Pros: Combat System: One of Redeemer’s biggest strengths is its fluid and brutal combat. Whether you’re using guns, hand-to-hand fighting, or improvised weapons from the environment, the game makes you feel like a real powerhouse. The melee combat, in particular, is satisfying, with a combo system that feels responsive and impactful. The ability to pick up and use any object nearby adds a layer of creativity to the …

Players who liked Redeemer: Enhanced Edition talk about combat is fluid, brutal, and satisfying; those who didn't talk about controls can feel clunky or awkward. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Redeemer received mixed reviews upon release, with score of 64 for PC version (based on 25 reviews) while user scores were higher with 7.1 for PC version respectively by video game review aggregator Metacritic. Cody Medellin of Worthplaying stated that "For the most part, Redeemer succeeds in delivering an action-packed beat-'em-up experience. Unless players are facing bosses or enemies who are immune to regular attacks, the combat is fast and visceral. The overall game length is good, and although some of the mechanics can be inconsistent, there's enough here to make the experience worthwhile." Justin Clark of GameSpot stated that "Redeemer's a game that clearly has its heart in the right…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is simplistic and repetitive. A single playthrough is all you are going to get out of this game. If mindless action game is what you are looking for though, this will give you a solid few hours.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those little gems you come across once in a while that the so called critics are luke warm about but its actually far better than they suggest. Redeemer is a violent little top down beat em up shoot em up game that's fun but also surprisingly difficult at times too. Its addictive wading your way through enemies and level design is creative and varied. On the downside I felt the controls could have been better. I can see why they opted for left shift to choose assault rifles and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was having fun until the enemies with the bs mechanics that just made the game tedious for no reason. I spent more time running around the map trying to find a weapon because enemies just become immune to basic attacks or just have bs stun locking mechanics to punish melee. The ending of the game just feels confused.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Remember that time you watched your cat gracefully knock everything off your desk? That's exactly how Redeemer's combat system feels – deliberate, fluid, and somehow deeply satisfying. The melee combat flows like honey off a brass knuckle, letting you chain together combos smoother than a con artist's pickup lines. And just like your grandmother taught you about waste-not-want-not, everything in the environment can be weaponized. That office stapler? It's now a tool of justice. That potted…

Dawn never exactly turned out to the character I wanted. Also through GM shenanigans he ended up with a wife in the middle of the game???

At this point, marketing and sales are running the show. I bought the Paladin thinking the pilot only controlled missiles, tbh. Speaking as someone who owns both, BTW. #StarCitizen

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Redeemer: Enhanced Edition is a handheld (Nintendo Switch)/console game that's also been put on Steam as a bit of an afterthought, as it's very much designed for the handheld/console gaming audience. It's a 3D rendered top down brawler with surprisingly high production quality for a Russian developed game. There's a dark fantasy theme that quickly boils down to running around castles/dungeons whatever, bludgeoning people to death, sometimes sneaking up on them, and uh... that's kind of it.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very crunchy, satisfying sound effects. Poor sound effects can kill a game. It's a lot of fun, similar to Double Dragon and Hotline Miami. It's very fast paced and the levels are just the right length.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a short gory action game. If you like DOOM, Gears n such, you are likely to enjoy this one even if it's a bit low on the budget side. Your character feels weighty, and you rip and tear enemies apart, quite literally. A fun 5 hour game - the perfect length I'd say for this, as the repetition does begin to set in at the later stages.

If it IS still in early-access, the game shows a lot of potential. Very responsive controls, a great conceptual layout for abilities and attacks, good combos, nice finishers, decent use of environment. If it's not early-access however, it needs a *lot* of work. There are several hit-box issues, targeting issues (especially when large enemies attempt to grab you, even if they…

neutral · AI labelView post →It's kinda fun, and often shows up with a hefty discount. Not long enough to get too repetitive. Not much of a story, but the punching bit is entertaining enough. Uses surprisingly much GPU for a 2017 game. Probably wasn't optimised very well, but relatively easy to power through today.

I don’t think the genie will ever go back in the bottle now, but as my reserves GF experience proved, the game is soooo much better without unnecessary off-field interventions.

neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah. The game I'm currently running has a Redeemer Champion, a healer cleric, a commander and a triggerbrand gunslinger, and while the gunslinger gets to do the big damage hits, victory is basically assured by them having rock solid tanking, healing and support.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a fun and short top down beat em up, don't have much else to say here, its a pretty straightforward, takedown animations are brutal, story is decent upgrading is fine, you feel strong and powerful, i wish there were a couple more enemy types as some levels you are killing the same 2 enemy types for that level over and over, though the final level you are fighting everyone all at once. And yes the game is sadly 3 hours long pick this a up for 5$ or less
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just the right amount of gameplay. The game does have some difficulty spikes and is short with the ending. Bring on the sequel
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I grabbed this game from a random Steam key, and honestly wasn’t expecting much. But after playing, I’m glad I gave it a shot. It’s a solid beat-em-up that doesn’t overstay its welcome. The gameplay is simple but satisfying, and the plot’s nothing crazy, but it’s just enough to keep things moving. The graphics are nice and clean, too. If you’re in the mood for a quick, straightforward game where you get to beat up bad guys and have fun, this one hits the spot.

I didn't like the perspective at first (it's a closely zoomed in top down Game that plays a bit like a Twin Stick Shooter/Brawler) but you get used to it.

The combat is simple, 1 button to punch, 1 to kick, 1 to roll, 1 to parry. You've got a little bit of versatility in some minor combos, but it's fine because the game has a ton of weapons to pick up to dismantle your enemies with. Enemies explode into geysers of blood across the screen as you hack and shoot your way through each level. The…
