Description

Painkiller is a reimagining of the classic franchise, featuring co-op play for up to three players and full offline support. Battle hordes of demons and titanic terrors across richly detailed gothic environments.

Trapped in Purgatory, you are sentenced for your transgressions against Heaven. But the Voice of the Creator gives you a chance to redeem yourself. As one of the Champions, you are to stop the fallen angel Azazel who is about to unleash his demonic armies onto Earth. You will face hordes of enemies, demons with unique powers and three monstrous children of Azazel - the Nephilim. 

Will you succeed in your mission and earn your salvation?

Purgatory Is Your Playground - Jump, dash, and hook across vast biomes while fighting enemies with a host of new and classic Painkiller weapons. 

Grotesque Terrors Await - Challenge a variety of enemies ranging from hordes of smaller demons to titanic terrors.
Unleash The Pain - Utilize tarot cards to enhance your abilities and combine them with other players to obliterate your foes. 

Choose Your Character Wisely - Play as one of four distinctive characters - Ink, Void, Sol and Roch - and take advantage of their unique perks to boost your energy, health, power and damage.

Rogue Angel Mode – Step beyond the main campaign and into a new realm of Purgatory. Team up with your friends and fight for survival in handcrafted randomized arenas.

Making review is generally not my thing, but once you get use to the game and accept it at want it is - It's very fun. It has some of the essence of previous Painkiller games with some of the same weapons, but the game

What have you done to my boy? This is clearly some AA trash tier co-op 10-year-too-late Doom clone they slapped the good name of Painkiller over. It would arguably be better if they didnt try and pass it off as a

The OG Painkiller is a game close to my heart with some of the best gaming memories I have so I was pretty excited when I saw this game being developed. I watched a couple of reviews and became skeptical but in the end

Not worth $40. Has a generic 4-hero roster & is co-op campaign only. All you do is go from room to room killing enemies. Nonexistent story and characters, with DEI character designs and millennial humor.

After looking at the mixed reviews I went in with very low expectations. One of the few unreal engine games that actually run well without any DLSS. The game is great, it's just a CO-OP version of Doom, even if it's 50
