While Gamereactor was at E3 this year, we talked with Gambitious' Vernon Vrolijk about the action game Redeemer, and during our time with him we asked for a short summary, to which he gave us some interesting comparisons.
"I would describe Redeemer as a brutal top-down brawler, action-packed brawler," he explained. "Basically it's God of War meets Hotline Miami. That's what we wanted to do - make it feel like God of War, make the combat deep, rewarding, heavy, like every punch, you feel the bones cracking under your fingers, and from that perspective, that top-down perspective, and add in weapons so you can fire and be intense, and just create this kind of... like a throwback game, but with all the technology and all the advancements of 2017 - that's what I wanted to do."
Does all this sound like a recipe for success?
