REDEEMER is a Top-Down Action game where you will punch, hack and blast your way through enemies using fists, hammers, fire arms and even the environment.
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.
A game that held a lot of potential. Five or ten years ago, this game would have been an exceptional 2-player co-op brawler à la Gauntlet or Golden Axe. Today it's a forgettable, short distraction that you're unlikely to play through a second time.
For an indie title, Redeemer is a very fun and entertaining game. I’ve spent countless hours going through each level albeit dying in some of them but I kept going on because it was that enjoyable. If you want a challenging, top-down, action-packed game with great quality, then this a game worth looking into.
The will is strong with Redeemer, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.
Sometimes Redeemer truly shines as a brutal top-down action. When it doesn't, though, it irritates with strange balance or boring sequences.
