Tormentor❌Punisher
Review Update
I have had to come back and edit this review.
When I made my initial review, I was only about 1h into discovering and enjoying the game. As you can see from my play time now (currently 67 hours) I have completely fallen in love with this game. And I’ve gotten damned good at it to, but we’ll get to that soon enough.
Let’s rewind to the beginning.
I say with some sheepishness now, that I initially judged the “intensity” of the game’s aesthetics and marketing to be a bit of a gimmick. The swearing and outlandish presentation gave me a bit of an eye roll. I’ve played and beaten a great many crazy-hard games from the original Serious Sam on Serious difficulty on down the line. As a gamer that dearly loves a fair but punishing game, I have grown weary over the years of various games that would promise insane amounts of action and intensity, but generally deliver broken game design or tediously easy games.

This is without a doubt, my favorite arena shooter I have ever played. If you have ever liked Total Carnage, Geometry Wars, Smash TV, or really any other top down omnidirectional shooter, you owe it to yourself to give this a try. It even has local coop, for those of you always searching for new couch multiplayer games.
Tormentor X Punisher is a score attack and leaderboard centric arena shooter focused on nonstop action, (you reload your machinegun by shooting your shotgun) where everything dies in one hit including all bosses, and yourself. It’s great for the “just one more round!” effect because matches will last at most 5 minutes, and it takes about 7 seconds to go from dead, to being in a new round.
