Meet: ‘Redeemer’, A Love Letter to Brawler Games
Gaming is often sought out for catharsis–that is a release, a purging of emotions. Luckily enough we have games like “Redeemer,” to scratch our very, very, very destructive itch. You can view the gameplay trailer here:
What the trailer promises of the game
1. Brutal melee combat
The game doesn’t hold back, it seems. Your character flails around and crushes enemies with everything he has–fire axes, clubs, and even machine guns.
2. Parry, dodge, and Combo System
Perhaps learning from Soulslike games (or simply other complex brawlers), the game boasts dodge-rolling and blocking attacks as well as combining moves to devastate enemies quickly. You can even throw CHAIRS!
3. Three kinds of special kills: Stealth, Execution, and Environmental
Stealth seems to revolve around sneaking up behind an enemy and breaking their necks. Simple enough, sure. Meanwhile, Execution and Environmental special kills often are lumped together, as executions often happen near environments, etc. It seems that you can use the setting to your advantage, or it could be used against you!
4. Various kinds of enemies
Redeemer features a dozen kind of enemies. Some are armed to the teeth with guns, while others are zombie-like creatures. There’s also a massive, uber-muscled supermutant in the video, which is possibly a boss fight.
Redeemer is set to be released on August 1, 2017.
