About Vortex Of Pain

Story:
Liberate your city from a cult of simulation theory maniacs.

Gameplay:
Vortex of Pain is a beat 'em up game with breakable 3D environments and smooth gameplay influenced by 2D classics. Evasions, grappling, and using the environment objects as weapons have a big role in the gameplay compared to most other beat 'em ups.

A controller is strongly recommended, but keyboard and mouse controls are supported also.

Features:
  • Single player and up to 4 player co-op story mode
  • Versus mode for 2-4 players
  • A customizable gameplay experience: 4 difficulty levels, adjustable enemy counts, and a randomizer mode that randomizes enemies and items
  • Various combat mechanics: weapons, grapples, strikes, air grapples, evasions, ear bites, flips, ball rolls, slides, splashes and free rotation throws
  • The environments play a large role in the gameplay: lots of breakable objects you can throw your enemies onto, and many props can be used as weapons
  • Weird enemies with unique abilities: mimes who copy moves from players, garbage collectors who eat and launch fragments of trash like a grenade, lagging modem-headed cyborg Minotaurs, recursive cardboard box -throwing thugs, etc...
  • Levels emphasize verticality to allow platforming and dangerous fighting areas
  • Boxing bags that aren't fooling around
  • Each playable character has the Atomic drop move!

Notes:
If you have problems with your controller's inputs, please disable Steam's controller configurations because they may cause issues with this game's button input detection. To do this, uncheck all gamepad configuration support checkboxes from Steam/Settings/Controller/General controller settings menu.

Vortex of Pain is coming along, though I still don't think it's worth full price for most people. There’re only 3 levels, and there's alot of jank. For example, I've died twice so far just from jumping. No nearby explosions, full health, not falling out of the map or off of a ledge, immediate death on landing from a normal jump. If you don't mind this kind of thing, read on. Otherwise, wait for polish. Vortex of Pain is a side-scrolling beat-em-up with alot of unpolished physics interactions. Sometimes the interactions are hilarious, as when everything or your enemies are blowing up and flying everywhere. Other times, as mentioned above, you're dying for either no apparent reason or for reasons that seem outside your control. There are mundane annoying moments, like when a random enemy headbutts you out of nowhere and you're forced to wait for your character to just get back up already before being knocked down again, and there are awesome moments like when you find yourself bouncing enemies in the air and against walls repeatedly. The worst moments haven't been bad enough to offset the fun ones. The environments are visually distinct, if odd due to lower-end assets, and the enem…

This game confused me at first. It looks like a goofy game that shouldn't be taken too seriously. Actually it is a very goofy game that has great potential! There are some bugs here and there, but it is definitely a fun game to play and explore. If I had the option this would be the kind of game I'd review as "maybe" Check how I got a punching bag to punch me back, here: https://youtu.be/T7FqrEpzrl0
