Redeemer: Enhanced Edition
REDEEMER is an intense Brawler where you will punch, hack and blast your way through enemies using fists, hammers, fire arms and even the environment. It grabs the genre by the throat and drags it into 2017 in brutal style by adding a deep melee combat system and numerous unique types of kills. Redeemer is the brawler for those who love brawlers and have been waiting for a modern take on the genre! Play as Vasily, an elite operative who once worked for one of the biggest Cybernetic Weapons Manufacturers in the world. Officially working in security, you were tasked with infiltration, assassination, extortion and even torture. When eventually the corporation decided to turn you into one of its cyborg soldiers, you manage to narrowly escape to a secluded monastery deep in the snowy mountains. For 20 years you tried to find peace and harmony amongst your fellow monks, but you are still too haunted by your murderous past to find either.

Um game curto, com muita testosterona e vísceras
nosso personagem era uma arma cyborg de uma fabricante de armas, que por 20 anos consegue se refugir e fugir;e assim ser um calmo e bondoso monge.
Então descoberto a história do jogo gira em se defender e não voltar a ser cobaia da empresa.
um game excelente de ação hack-slach, sua movimentação top donw dão um clima agradável a experiência, não o deixa ser tão violento e faz a diversão ser o fator de joga-lo.
No game metemos porrada com as mãos, com bambus e pegamos algumas armas de fogo.
é um game que surpreende e merece estar pelo menos na sua lista de desejo.

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. If you're into punching, smashing, and yelling “CYKA” through your teeth, Redeemer might be a game for you.

The only issue I have with this game is that there aren't multiple sequels for me to enjoy. Must play.

There's numerous spelling mistakes in the localisation, the story is super thin, and I had some weird issue where the resolution was perpetually scuffed and never let me get the whole game on the screen at once (with no option to choose between full screen, windowed, etc.), and there's a weird blurry foggy effect sometimes which just makes everything look washed out.
But none of that matter because ho-ly ♥♥♥♥ did these guys nail the mechanics. I've never felt more like Jet Li in a video game.
The moment to moment game play is absolutely fantastic. The melee feels weighty, the gun play is smooth, and sliding between the two, weaving in contextual environmental finishers and attacks makes the whole thing feel super slick.
Progression is great - enemies get more interesting, but they never turn into major bullet sponges, the character levelling serves the game well, it's simple and unobtrusive, but meaningful enough to bother with.
The only thing which was a bit underwhelming from a game play perspective was the bosses, purely because they are extremely simple. But as they are only really a minor part of the experience, that wasn't a major issue.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in twin sticks or beat 'em ups. Great game. I only meant to play for 15 minutes test test it as I bought it along with a bunch of others in the summer sale. Ended up spending 5 or so hours playing through the whole thing in a single sitting.

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 other weapons of that kind but its still awkward. The lack of maneuverability of your character is also a hassle when it comes to boss fights too. Its really becomes a reload and hope for the best slug fest. Still a lot to like here and not a lot of demand on even an average system. A thumbs up from me.

Story
Our hero is a man with a past that comes back to hunt him down, retired to a monk temple to start a new life, now he must fight back and kill those who destroy his present life.
Gameplay
Redeemer is a brawler/beat 'em up with top-down view mechanics that offers simple gameplay with a variety of tools to achieve our goal. Martial arts is the main weapon we use, but once we get our hands on fire guns of all kind among other tools, that goes out the window.
Gameplay in general is quite barebones, but satisfying for the most part, it is brutal and bloody, rough around the edges. It is very weird as the game at some point forgets it is a beat 'em up and it turns into a shoot 'em up and we barely use our fists anymore as new and more advanced weapons start to show up.
Graphics
In terms of graphics Redeemer does not offer much, it feels like a PS3 game when it comes to effects, graphics in general, nothing out of the ordinary and horrible things like invisible walls that forbid you to enter certain areas.
Same for effects, standard and nothing spectacular.
Sound and Music
Not much to say here, run of the mill music and effects, voice acting is at least decent.
The Bad
Redeemer is a fun game for what it offers, but the story and main plot are all over the place, it does a poor job at explaining what is going on, we fight normal enemy soldiers with weapons and suddenly we are facing all sorts of mutant monsters in a lab that goes on and on for multiple levels, all this leave you wondering at what point the revenge plot turns into a top down Farcry 1 game... seriously, it starts really good then the plot falls apart a little bit, it forgets it is a beat 'em up, it forgets about martial arts and it's all about new more murderous weapons, is this bad? well it depends on what you like and expect.
Conclusion
Rough around the edges, decent graphics and sound effects Redeemer is a good time waster, a mindless game that will offer a good time of killing for a few hours, do not expect a groundbreaking game.
