    No matter what Vasily uses – an ax, a hammer or even bare fists – he does it with that special oomph. Fights are brief and often end with a bone-crunching fatality; and if there is something like a stake or a saw table nearby, the enemy will meet an especially gruesome death. Firearms are also impressive: even a pistol is a weapon to be reckoned with, while shotgun’s effect is outright terrifying. [Issue#222, p.64]

    Redeemer is a very good top down brawler that was close to competing with the biggest names in the business. Sadly, the strong difficulty and impossibility of saving when we want implies an unpleasant die & retry flavor in some places.

    If only Diablo III was this fun and exciting to play between all the fluff and management overhead, I wouldn’t have abandoned it; Redeemer has exactly what I want when I crave quick, well-produced top-down action content. The secret sauce and energy are in full effect, and the face bashing is exceptionally fun both with hands, along with the more advanced killing methods.

    Redeemer offers a very satisfying mix of good old top-down shooters and modern video games.

    Redeemer is an excellent game coming out of Moscow and Kalingrad, Russia and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fast-paced, action packed gore fest that requires a little more thought than your average beat-em-up. Don’t expect much in terms of a story, though. It’s not bad, it’s just not unique enough to be a selling point either.

    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.

    If you liked Hotline Miami, then you will love this game. Good isometric shooter... that's what Redeemer is. Pickens approves!

With a simple but potentially complex combat system that is similar to the Batman Arkham games and a well-paced narrative to keep players hooked, Redeemer is one of the best games this year. I am looking forward to what Sobak Studios does next. According to them, their goal is to create challenging action games with a lot of fun and juicy gameplay… Full Review »

I've only played a couple of sessions on it thus far, but am enjoying unleashing a festival violence upon my enemies a great deal.
    It sits somewhere between Hotline Miami 2 (it's a violent "top down" game that requires the player to systematically clear levels of enemies), and the Batman Arkham games (in that you perform punches/kicks/dodges/counters to create seamless combos). The sheer amount of ultra-violent take-downs, using a variety of weapons and your environment is very impressive and makes you want to use all the tools at your disposal in order to be rewarded with a suitably gory, animated kill.
    Their is the odd graphical glitch, some uninspired cut-scenes and fairly repetitive game-play, but despite this I'm really enjoying myself thus far and look forward to attempting speed-runs and other challenges once I've finished wreaking my revenge.    … Full Review »
