    Redeemer – Enhanced Edition is a game that is more than worthy of your time. If you enjoy Diablo 3, any game in a similar style is always welcome, and even if you don’t, this is still just an unfettered joy.

    Redeemer: Enhanced Edition, although not quite as robust as its contemporaries, is one hell of a bloody good game. Everything from its progression, its pacing, and its core functionality, right through to its combat diversity and its play depth, remains constantly gratifying and energetic throughout. Despite some issues with its performance and its insipid level design, fans of the brawler concept will absolutely love what’s on offer here.

Once a soldier, you play as Vasily, who left his past in hopes of a peaceful future as a monk, until his past come in to crash his party. Most of your brother monks dead, including your mentor, you now seek vengeance on the affiliation you once served. With parts of his past remembered through the cut-scenes, you learn why Vasily came to be where he is. The game play is fast paced and brutal, with ample weapons, and environmental hazards to use in dispatching your enemies, the action is nearly nonstop. The stages are fairly linear with little in the way of exploration, with the exception of a few hidden scrolls and tablets to find. As you progress and find these tablets and scrolls you gain access to attacks, and abilities, broken between your Soldier training, and your Monk training. The game play gets repetitive at times, but that's to be expected from a Beat-Em-Up game. Skull bashing combos and devastating finishers are the bread and butter of this game, once the combat system is learned you can near effortlessly string attacks from one enemy to another, countering the whole way. If you like seriously visceral Beat-Em-Up Hack and Slash game play, Redeemer has that covered, what it lacks in exploration it compensates well with obliterating bad guys.… Full Review »
