Redeemer

Redeemer is a top-down action game about Vasily, an elite operative who escapes a cybernetics corporation and seeks refuge in a secluded monastery. After 20 years living among the monks in the snowy mountains, he is still haunted by his violent past. When the corporation closes in on his location, Vasily gets one last chance at redemption.

Combat

You fight waves of enemies with firearms and melee weapons, including combat knives, batons, fire axes and hammers. Hand-to-hand combat uses moves, combos, charge attacks and jump attacks. You can also use a well-timed block to parry enemy attacks; learning different enemy types’ movements and attack patterns helps you time your defense.

The disarm-or-dismember move lets you take firearms from enemies or dismember certain foes and use their limbs as melee weapons. You can eliminate enemies with three kinds of kills: stealth kills performed while moving through levels undetected, environmental kills that use surroundings such as fire or impalement, and executions enabled by beating enemies down in combat.

Modes and progression

The story-driven single-player campaign follows Vasily’s past and a narrative of betrayal and redemption. You can develop him as a monk or a soldier, depending on your preferred fighting style. A two-player co-op mode lets you play through the game alongside a friend, while Arena Mode pits you against countless enemies in horde-like battles to test your fighting skills.
