Let’s fucking do this!
Sure at first glance it looks likeI Made a Game with Zombies in It!without a tongue in its cheek, especially with the live-action trailer bits that look likeStrafewith 1/10th the budget (I mean, a professional baseball player was doingnational television promos with a gimp masksix years ago, it’s not very demonic or controversial) but the pedigree behindTormentor X Punisheris as impressive as the vocals.
The “over-the-top twin-stick arena shooter” comes to us from game/sound designer Joonas Turner (Nuclear Throne,Downwell), programmer Beau Blyth (Hyper Light Drifter,Samurai Gunn), and fresh-faced artist Tuuka Stefanson.
It’s out early next year and it’ll be at PAX West if you want to try it for yourself.
[Disclosure: Hamza Aziz, whom I had the unfortunate, interminable displeasure of working with for years and years and years at Destructoid, now works withTormentor X Punisherpublisher Raw Fury Games. If anything this predisposes meagainstthe products they put out. Fuck you, Hamza!]
