SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption
Rise from the depths a crumbling kingdom and to the challenge of defeating increasingly difficult demonic bosses. Choose aspects of yourself to weaken before defeating the avatars of Sin in the boss battler Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption. Inspired by classic boss-battlers and modern skill-based action RPGs, with a dash of gothic anime styling and horror storytelling, Sinner promises a thrilling and bone-chilling experience. A lone warrior stands on a strange shore, his mind clouded and his past forgotten, but an unstoppable force drives him on. He is Adam, guilty of a great sin and drawn to this place by powers as secret as they are terrifying. As his home, the Kingdom of Cavanis, languishes in blasphemy, Adam must face a series of trials in a desperate quest for redemption.

It feels like a short version of the Dark Souls series. However, its original systems and fresh experiences make it an enjoyable game that transcends being merely labeled a mini Dark Souls.

This is a review after doing every Achievement:
Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is a Soulslike like many others. This in particular focuses on a Boss rush style of gameplay. You beat a boss, you either forgive him or you kill him. Every boss has a unique characteristic that's a clue for beating it.
You have arenas like an iceberg, a volcanic mountain, a colosseum, etc. Very unique places with a simplistic, but interesting art style. The OST is good and fitting for every combat. It has few cinematics which tell the story of every boss in an ambiguous and mysterious way.
In the technical part, I'm not to sure if it's my pc or the game has some problems, but it kept having stuttering the first time I fought a boss. It was quite annoying but because it was just the first time in each battle, it was passable.
Now the important part: "The Achievement Tour"
Almost 40/60 achievements can be obtained by just completing the game normally, which is good because some are really fun when you unlock them by accident. Some others are really bugged, like Hex Proof & Purified, but it's almost a problem with 1 boss only.
I would advise finishing the game first, which could take you probably 4-5hs, and then completing the achievements that you have left. A good form of doing some achievements is in the Challenge option in which, once you finish the story, you can beat any of the bosses with all original stats(This doesn't work with the bugged achievements)
I'm thinking on doing a guide for every achievement since there's not a good one yet and it's been years.
That might be it, it was fun getting all achievements.
Good luck to you, fellow Achievement Hunters. Cheers.

This game is a fun, semi short boss rush meant for people who like games such as dark souls. It includes 8 bosses overall with some post game content if you're up for it. Its main drawbacks are some rare but not rare enough to be noticed glitches and slight balance issues. Personally I liked this game a lot but I also got it for around 4 bucks. Overall it's a 7/10 for me.

FIRST PLAYTHROUGH (108 MINS): copped this souls boss rusher on sale for under $4 and i must say i was not expecting to enjoy it as much as i did. it's sad to see the mixed reviews. i liked the mystery part, the lore, the boss designs, the gameplay was not that bad as people are saying...i had no issues with it. i liked chanel the most, it felt the most smooth and was the most challenging boss i'd say. if you've played souls games, you can take this game down pretty quickly. what i find interesting is that there is 3 different endings you can get, which makes the replayability a good factor since the game is pretty short. at full price, i'd say it's still worth it if you plan on doing more then one run, but if you're only looking to do 1, i'd say cop it on a sale. good game though and the devs definitely had a good idea with this. hoping to see something similar in the future!!!

this is a tight scope indie game, it is not made by a huge studio. if you can appreciate it for the silly game it is, you will like it. it's an okay way to spend some time, i would say its worth your money on sale

The game has some negative jank: hitboxes are bad and awkward; bosses can use moves that can lead to death without reaction, pairs nasty with bad hitboxes; and the visual clarity is pretty bad too.
That said, I recommend this game despite these issues. I disliked the downgrade system, and it isn't my sort of style of games, but I can admit it's pretty neat. The bosses were pretty cool, and I had fun with 2 of them even if I got my body pummeled or double-teamed.
I give it a thumbs up overall.

It's ok.
I'd only ever get it on sale, it's worth under $5 but anything more would be a waste.
The game is a boss rush, and most the boss fights are somewhat challenging. Controls fine, although if you want a power fantasy of getting stronger as you go on, this game does the opposite so beware of that. Props to the dev for some interesting boss fights, if the bosses of this game can be put into a full fledged souls-RPG, then you'd have a real winner.
