Tormentor X Punisher is loud, mean, occasionally unfair, intentionally ugly and thoroughly awesome. Its attitude infuses every aspect of the game, from enemy designs, the chunky low-resolution art and especially the excellent voicework that, yes, is repetitive but a major part of setting the tone. Death is brutal and easy, survival guaranteed to be short, and the leaderboards populated with people who are basically wizards.

Critic reviews
- Attitude bursts Tourettically from every moment of the short handful of minutes it takes to play a round. The gore, of course, paints the floor, but what videogamer notices gore anymore? The real attitude is the recurring fuck yous and cockfaces and whatnot. Bulletstorm’s profanity had an ironic hipster quality, but Tormenter X Punisher is nothing if not sincere.
- Joonas Turner’s latest game is a delight though. It’s simple, it’s straightforward, and its fun. It’s the game you want to play when you just want to kill demons. What kind of madness would you expect from the guy behind Downwell, Broforce, and Badland? This may seem like a short review, but I promise, I just about covered everything. If you like hard roguelikes such as Devil Daggers, The Binding of Isaac, and more, then this is right up your alley. You can find it on Steam, Humble, Green Man Gaming, and more.

- 8.0Tormentor x Punisher is Hotline Miami meets Geometry Wars with some Doom thrown in for good measure. It's a hell of a lot of fun, and in just the first few goes you'll see yourself improving rapidly. How high the skill ceiling is, however, is yet to be seen. Without the depth and progression found in roguelikes, it's easy to see it getting stale after a while but for sub-£20, it's more than worth it. E-Studio set out to perfect the bullet hell genre, and they have.
- Que se mezclan con el estruendo general y te reclaman toda la atención durante uno, dos, tres minutos, o una, dos, tres horas; cuando te das cuenta han sido uno, dos o tres días. Te absorbe. Es un prodigio; rotundo, redondo, esencial. Es de esos juegos únicos a los que las comparaciones siempre se les quedan cortas; ha entrado tan fuerte en la historia que no se me ocurre cómo sería posible un Tormentor x Punisher mejor.
