The Tornado is still there, but locked behind an achievement. You get get it after playing Apollo for 5 minutes (who is in turn unlocked by leveling a Dagger up to level 4).
And yeah that is good feedback. I will look into alternatively just having background stuff to orient yourself on the map or adding a better way to get unstuck from behind a wave of enemies (or maybe both). For the next version I'm just putting it behind an option so you can turn if off while I look into alternatives.
