I thought it was simply okay ; its combat initially seemed fun, but repetition quickly set in, and an uneven difficulty level added in a certain amount of frustration. Determined to make its game better, however, Sobaka Studio has been hard at work further polishing Redeemer , and the fruit of its labour is an enhanced edition that is now available not only on PC, but also PS4, Xbox One and Switch.
It goes without saying that the core of Redeemer: Enhanced Edition remains the same: a chapter campaign with a passable story and multiple combat arenas. This time around, things are indeed a little more entertaining and a little less frustrating though.
Redeemer has in fact been enhanced. A part of why Redeemer: Enhanced Edition provides a lesser challenge is the introduction of a level system and perks.
There's a half-hearted stealth element that allows Vasily to sneak up and assassinate enemies while their backs are turned, which is really just a convenient way of thinning a herd that, more often than not, will turn into a frantic, bloody mosh pit of five or more foes anyway.
It's the addition of guns that ends up throwing off the formula the most, however, turning the game from a quaintly satisfying beat-'em-up into a less-gratifying riff on design principles from Hotline Miami. Later in the game, a disarm mechanic is introduced to supplement Vasily's parry ability, which essentially robs the game of its casual nature and turns it into a game of strategy--the likes of which the more rickety mechanics aren't deep enough to sustain. Fortunately, Redeemer teeters but never topples over the line into drudgery.
For what it's worth, the added mechanics do at least introduce a variety of options for dispatching the legion of enemies Vasily faces in his bloody rampage toward vengeance for his fallen temple. There are smirking joys to be found in the right situation where Vasily snaps a soldier's neck, steals their shotgun, blows away two of his buddies the next room over, and finishes the third with his bare hands. Redeemer's a game that clearly has its heart in the right place but feels the need to justify or enhance a genre that needs less to succeed than one might think.

The Good Some beautiful environments and effects Fun, accessible melee combat Variety of gameplay styles can be exhilarating The Bad Level design leaves much to be desired Graphics look washed out and blurry from time to time Difficulty curve too dependent on number, not types of enemies Camera style makes combat feel detached.
