Описание

Painkiller Black Edition includes Painkiller and the expansion pack Battle Out of Hell, featuring 10 additional single-player levels and many new villans.

Gothic Story, Frantic Gameplay. Painkiller is a first-person horror shooter, designed to satisfy a gamer's hunger for intense, fast-paced action. It's an adrenaline addict's nightmare, where hellish monsters swarm in seemingly endless mobs.

Graphically, Painkiller is unmatched. The proprietary PAIN Engine puts out an unbelievably high polygon count, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing techniques, including soft shadows, DOT3 bump mapping, water reflections, glass simulation, volumetric light and fog, and more. Plug in the Havok 2.0 physics engine, and you get a realistic environment in a totally fantastical setting.

Stranded in a place between Heaven and Hell, your time of judgment is at hand. The Underworld is on the verge of unholy war, and you are but a pawn in the infernal battle. As you fight for your purification, the truths behind the deceptions are revealed.

FEATURES


  • Combo weapons: All weapons come in pairs, with a primary and secondary fire.
  • Morphing: Your unholy pact gives you the power to morph into a powerful possessed creature with every 66 souls collected.
  • Lasting replay value: Painkiller features a standard single player campaign, with additional modes to encourage replay.
  • Physics Engine: Painkiller employs the Havok 2.0 physics engine, allowing for inverse kinematics ("rag-doll physics") and deformable, interactive environments.
  • Over 30 levels of fierce action, dozens of different enemies in completely unique and varied environments.
  • High adrenalin gameplay: non-stop action, hundreds of enemies to be decimated and gigantic bosses.
  • 14 incredible weapons, including the famous stake-gun, and the mythical Painkiller.

Masterpiece, otherwise https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=193714598.

The good old Havok physics engine & the gore are awesome.
But the chapter V is locked if you only play on the trauma difficulty...

bunnyhoping at 50km/h to annihilate clown demons with a makeshift double barreled shotgun is the most fun I've had in a long long time. very fun yet simple movement mechanics, nothing out there is quite like it.

requires tinkering with to get it working properly, just a few mods to drop in your folder and copying text into configs, nothing complicated. just go to its pcwiki page

I love this game, I really do. More than I should because it is filled with problems. The game crashed on me multiple times, I was softlocked, items were spawned out of bounds and the secrets are out of this world difficult. Yet this jank is what makes this game so special. Don't be dumb like me and 100% this game. It isn't worth it. But its so fun so maybe it is worth it. I can't make up my mind just like this game can never decide if it wants to run or not. Never change, Painkiller

C1E3 has a bridge, its not just a normal bridge but a rickety bridge, made out of drift wood and bungee cords, one wrong move will either, send you flying 100 MPH to the ground, or if you save and load next to this same bridge, there's a small chance it won't be there.

The recent surge of "retro" FPS games could learn a lot from a 2004 gem like this. The first Painkiller is a labor of love that innovates on the old-school/90's FPS formula. With its blend of horror, atmosphere, and over-the-top arena action, this might as well be the Doom 3 that boomer shooters hoped for back in the day.

This game is in my opinion a forgotten gem that should be left alone. Though quite old, it still is far better than many modern shooters today. This game takes the style of a doom style shooter in which you are placed into a level, are given a marker of where to go either through the checkpoints that show you where to go next via the arrow at the top or simply being a bit linear. Throughout your journey of a level you are given swarm after swarm of unique enemies, this adds on a factor of bloodshed as you go through levels destroying everything like they're made of paper. There are a total of 35 levels throughout the game including the expansion and secret bonus level if certain requirements are met to access it. There are also 6 boss fights placed in between every couple sets of levels, all being towering beasts that you have to take down through strategy. It may be a great game, I feel if remade would fail to recapture its audience, as it may be too simple for the people it would sell to.

What the game does right:
+The weapon variety is wonderful with around 8 weapons to collect throughout the game, each feeling greatly unique and pack quite a punch.
+The levels are mostly very unique and feel great to play through, some of my favorites being the Asylum, Orphanage and Loony park.
+Each level has an add-on extra challenge that you can attempt to do, such as collecting all the ammo or finding every secret, this also awards a power-up known as tarot cards once completed.
+The movement feels good, as if you string together a couple jumps, you can go much faster than walking.
+The variety of enemies, though many of them act similar is wonderful, it's always fun to see a completely new cast of enemies throughout almost every level to fit the environment.
+The sound design is wonderful for the guns and make them feel truly satisfying to wield, I can still hear shotgun noises while writing this.

Things it does wrong or just meh:

-The characters have not much to talk about, we have the badass who kills everything, the guide for the badass and a villain who has motives that boil down to wanting power.
-Certain levels are at some points a pain or a slog to complete, the worst offender in my opinion being in the expansion with a mine themed environment with long minecart sections without saves.
-Some game breaking bugs near the start of the game, I only experianced these during the first chapter, the two I encountered were at some point a bridge didn't load in to continue the game and a boss in one of the boss levels didn't spawn.
-Difficulty spikes are quite large. The first three chapters are quite easy, but when you get onto chapter 4, the enemies start having more HP and feel less like weak minions, minibosses start being introduced during the swarms and the boss of this chapter is massively painful for multiple reasons. I am not complaining on difficulty, I just feel it could've been more eased into it over time, instead of a massive difficulty spike at one point, this continues in the expansion too, especially in the second half of it.

Conclusion:

Though this game was greatly enjoyable for me, I am not exactly the target demographic as I am not well versed in shooters, maybe my complaints are entirely due to my lack of prior experiances in this genre, I still thought it was very worth the asking price of 10 euros, I feel any gamers who enjoy shooters or something like doom will find this enjoyable too, as it seems to take many inspirations from its predecessors.

This game is old-school FPS fun!! However it has its fair share of bugs (especially if you dont set the FPS to 60-120 each time you start it!!).

However the problems though , they can't beat the actual power-fantasy and feeling of fPS-joy it has (plus HUGE bosses plus cheesy FMV sequences).

100% approve!!

Great gunplay.
Wide variety of enemies for every level.

Funny animations in cinematics.
Funny voice acting.
Generic ending.

Bosses were a bit ehhh but interesting nonetheless.
Demon transformation at 66 souls was sick but it made you manage your soul intake to use it at a good time.

I can b-hop like a maniac and do trains as if it was cod zombies. Movement is smooth and real nice. Weaponry is good (though is more stingy on the ammo management than doom) but it doesn't matter 'cause there's a mix of minigun and rocket launcher so who gives a fuck.

Pick it on sale over the remake, it's pretty fun.

...oh and just disregard the story, it's total dogshit lmao but you COULD get some enjoyment out of it with the perspective of "it's so garbage it's good"

AH YEA, lastly, uhh this game might NOT like to be minimized at times and can crash at random times. I didn't get that many of these instances but still, be ready for that.

Painkiller Black Edition: A Symphony of Blood and Bullets (A Review Forged in the Fires of Hell)



Brothers and sisters in arms! Are you tired of pansy-ass shooters where demons cower behind cover and health regenerates faster than a politician's promises? Then grab your crucifix, load your shotgun, and prepare to descend into the abyss with Painkiller Black Edition! This ain't no tactical shooter; this is a glorious throwback to the golden age of FPS, where the only strategy is to unleash unholy hell upon anything that moves.

Embrace the Carnage, Become the Carnage



From the moment you set foot in the first level, you're not just a soldier; you're a gosh darn force of nature. Hordes of grotesque creatures, ripped straight from the darkest nightmares, swarm you from all sides, their gnashing teeth and blood-curdling screams echoing through the halls of hell. But fear not, for you are armed with an arsenal of weapons that would make even the Doom Slayer himself be in awe.

We're talking about the kind of weapons that make you feel like a god of destruction. The shotgun, a classic for a reason, turns demons into chunky salsa with every blast. The stake gun pins those unholy bastards to the wall, leaving them writhing in agony. And the chaingun? Oh, sweet baby Jesus, the chaingun. It transforms demons into a fine red mist faster than a politician can switch sides.

But that's just the beginning. You've got rocket launchers that paint the walls with demonic viscera, freeze throwers that turn hell's minions into popsicles, and shuriken launchers that slice and dice with deadly precision. Each weapon is a masterpiece of destruction, lovingly crafted to deliver maximum carnage with every trigger pull.

Gothic Horror Meets Arena Mayhem



The levels in Painkiller Black Edition are a twisted carnival of carnage, a macabre mashup of gothic horror and arena shooter madness. You'll battle through graveyards choked with the stench of decay, where skeletal hands claw at your feet and zombies rise from their graves to feast on your flesh. You'll infiltrate monasteries echoing with the screams of the damned, where unholy monks chant blasphemous hymns and grotesque gargoyles swoop down from the rafters. You'll even find yourself in a nightmarish opera house, where the only performance is a symphony of death and the audience is composed of the damned.

The level design is a work of art, a perfect blend of claustrophobic corridors and wide-open arenas, giving you plenty of opportunities to unleash your unholy fury. You'll be running and gunning, dodging projectiles, and blasting demons back to hell in a glorious ballet of blood and bullets.

A Symphony of Violence and Visuals



This game doesn't shy away from the gore. Enemies explode in showers of blood and guts, creating a symphony of violence that's both disturbing and strangely beautiful. Limbs fly, heads roll, and intestines splatter across the walls in a glorious display of over-the-top carnage. The graphics may be a bit dated, but the art style and enemy designs still hold up remarkably well, creating a truly nightmarish vision of hell. And let's not forget the soundtrack - a pounding, headbanging mix of heavy metal that perfectly complements the game's frenetic action.

More Than Just Mindless Mayhem



Sure, Painkiller Black Edition is all about blowing demons to kingdom come, but it's not just mindless mayhem. Each level features a unique "Tarot Card" challenge, pushing you to explore every corner, master your weapons, and achieve the highest score possible. These challenges add a layer of depth and replayability, turning you from a mere demon slayer into a true harbinger of destruction.

Pros:



Pure, unadulterated action: This game is a non-stop adrenaline rush, a relentless assault on your senses that will leave you breathless and exhilarated.

[b]Weapons of Mass Destruction: The arsenal is a thing of beauty, a collection of devastating tools designed to obliterate anything that stands in your way.

[b]Hellish Environments: The levels are a gothic masterpiece, a terrifying and beautiful vision of hell.

[b]High Replayability: Tarot Card challenges, a scoring system, and multiple difficulty levels ensure that you'll be coming back for more demon-slaying action.

[b]Value for Your Blood Money: You get both the original game and the Battle out of Hell expansion for a ridiculously low price.

[b]Nostalgia Trip: This is a glorious throwback to the golden age of PC shooters, where the only rule was to kill or be killed.

Cons:



[i]Dated Graphics: While the art style holds up, the visuals are showing their age.

[i]Repetitive Gameplay: The core gameplay loop can become repetitive after extended play sessions.

[i]Brutal Difficulty: [b]Painkiller
can be unforgiving, especially on the higher difficulty settings.

[i]Limited Enemy Variety: While there are a decent number of enemy types, some players may find the variety lacking compared to modern shooters.

[i]Occasional Frustrating Level Design: Some levels can be a bit confusing to navigate, leading to moments of frustration.

Final Verdict: A Ticket to Hell You Won't Want to Refund



If you're looking for a game that's pure, unadulterated, demon-slaying fun, then look no further than Painkiller Black Edition. It's a classic for a reason, offering a perfect blend of intense combat, creative level design, and a healthy dose of heavy metal madness. So crank up the volume, grab your guns, and prepare to unleash hell. This is old-school FPS action at its finest, and it's an experience that'll leave you feeling like a true badass.

Great game. Unfortunately, there's a bug in Chapter 4 Level 1 (Castle), when you're inside the castle, the hole in the floor won't open. All enemies have been eliminated and there's a red marker on the radar but the music keeps playing as if there are enemies left. Tried going back to Chapter 3 Level 4 (Ruins) to completely restart Castle but it didn't help. Such a waste of time!

This game is very awesome and might be one of the best shooter games I ever played. I played and finished it on both PC and original xbox and had a lot of fun playing it on both systems.

The game has a large variety of enemies, including Monks, Amputees, Freaks, Zombie Warriors, Ninjas, Witches and more. The enemies range from ones using only melee attacks to ones using projectile attacks or special types of attacks. Each chapter in the game has different enemy types which makes them feel fresh, and while many of them are samey it's very satisfying to kill them.

The weapon variety is also very good. There's things like a shotgun that is not only very powerful, but also can fire an ice projectile that causes most of the enemies it hits to freeze and instantly get killed with the next shot, making it powerful against tougher enemies. There's a gun that serves as both a rocket launcher and a minigun and both firing modes are very useful against hordes of enemies. The stake gun/grenade launcher is useful against lower tier enemies as well. The electrodriver fires a beam that can kill weaker enemies relatively quickly but also depletes ammo fast, so I don't use it often.

The environments also are diverse. There's things like a a graveyard, an asylum, a theater, a ghost town, a snowy wasteland and many more.

The game is similar to Serious Sam and Doom 2016 and Eternal in that it frequently locks the player into arenas that spawn in waves of enemies and said arenas open after all enemies die, and I really enjoy that style of gameplay. The combat is just really good. Weapons sound powerful, have satisfying hit feedback, enemies are sent flying with powerful blasts and the ragdolls are good. The gore effects are also some of the best I've seen in a shooter.

The game also includes the Battle Out Of Hell expansion. It's even crazier than the base game. It adds new enemies like Clowns, Doctors that inhale gas and fart out said gas (yeah, that type of enemy really exists), Panzer Spiders, Lab Commandos armed with pistols, Butchers and more. There's two new weapons, a submachine gun/flamethrower combo and a powerful Boltgun with a sniper scope that fires many stakes at once and and some grenades. The areas are once again diverse, with things like a lab, an apocalyptic city, the loony park and a Colosseum. Despite all these additions the gameplay is mostly unchanged, and is still as fun as ever.

There's also the Tarot Card system, but I never used it. Yo get the cards for completing specific objectives in each level like killing all enemies or finding all secrets. There's different types of cards, one that is active for the entire level and one that can only be activated for a limited time. The game isn't that hard without using the cards, which is why I didn't use them.

The boss fights, unlike the rest of the game, are just bad. Aside from the Necrogiant all of the bosses can only be killed in specific ways that you can't easily figure out. For example you need to shoot bubbles to damage the Swamp Thing or shoot and destroy the Guardian's hammer first before you can damage him. The bosses also have attacks that are often difficult to dodge, and that combined with the tedious ways to damage them make them boring and frustrating.

I highly recommend this game to shooter fans. It's very fast-paced, action-packed and filled with a lot of content. If you like Serious Sam or Doom 2016 and Eternal, I think you would like this game too as it's similar to them.

And the game play stays varied with different challenges each level.
Completing these challenges unlocks cards that can be used as power ups or buffs.

Very Serious without the Sam.

Painkiller: Black Edition is a compliation title of Painkiller and it's expansion. Developed by People Can Fly, Painkiller is a Retro FPS game that follows closely with the Serious Sam-style of FPS games. Big Monster count and lots of Linear Levels filled with arenas. The game follows Daniel as he is trapped in puragotory and is tasked to kill all of Lucifer's Generals in order to gain passage to Heaven. While it echos the game design of Serious Sam, Painkiller has so much original going for it, it stands distinct from those other games.

Gameplay wise, the closest comparison to Painkiller like said before is Serious Sam. Mainly just because both contain levels with high enemy counts that do nothing more but rush to your location. However Daniel does have some abilities to shake things up. Firstly, Daniel has a insane bunnyhop ability. Jumping in rhythm allows Daniel to shed his inner Quake and move way faster than just standard moving. The second more indepth feature are the Tarot Cards. Each level has a special challenge, once completed, rewarding you with a Tarot Card. Black Tarot cards provide a constant effect while the Gold Cards provide, at minimum, a one time use effect. It's not too much but helps to make Painkiller stand out.

As the enemies while extremely varied in appearance and slight combat differences. The main think to note is Painkiller's Weapons. Firstly is the melee weapon, the Painkiller. A wonderfully animated buzzsaw/chainlink like weapon. While it does have it's uses early on, it's usefulness decreases as you get more of the meater weapons. Next is the Shotgun, a pretty standard weapon but does come equipped a freezing altfire, as yes this game does included alternative fires for all the weapons. It's basically your workhorse weapon as it's great for not only taking out greater threats with it's freeze shot but thanks to it's decently fast fire it's great for conserving ammo on weaker enemies. Next is the Stake Gun. Which is basically like a short range railgun in terms of damage given and distance after a short period, It also has a Grenade Launcher which is generally helpful. Next is probably the most useful weapon, the Rocket Launcher and Minigun combo. It's self-explanatory, you got the power from the rocket launcher, and the fast hit-scan damage of the minigun. This is followed up by probably the least useful weapon of this lineup, the Electrodriver. While it's not a broken or bad weapon it's primary shuriken attack is fairly slow and low damage, and it's lighting altfire can only target one enemy at a time. Not useless but outclassed by the other weapons.

Painkiller's aesthetic is such a bizarre one but also fitting given the whole purgatory setting. It gives off the aura that the level designers made a level and then build the levels around the existing level. This offend leads the level progress to be weirdly disjointed as you go through hallways and platform between areas, thankfully there is a compass pointing you in the right direction so I never got confusing which is help. The artstyle also is kinda all over the place in a good way, the way the game look screams 2001 3D and the amount of locations you visit throughout the main campaign makes sure you see a lot of different stuff. Some of the maps legitimately look really pretty for the time. Another thing to note is the game's physics engine as it does have one. While it's mostly used to provide spectacle as all the destructible objects gib into physics objects that fly around, and sometimes getting in your way. But the best part about it is the game feel with the combat Having enemies fly way back when getting hit with the Shotgun or doing like 3 backflips when getting hit in the face with a Stake for example is incredible.

Included in the Black Edition is the Battle out of Hell expansion pack also developed by People Can Fly. This pack takes place after the main game and is the only non-standalone expansion for Painkiller. This expansion basically has everything that the base game did, the combat, weapons, and even unlocking all the Black and Gold Tarot cards for you. The main draw to this pack is everything NEW. New Enemies, New Weapons, New Levels all the hallmarks of a good expansion pack. Firstly is the weapons, a SMG/Flamethrower hybrid, and the Boltgun. The former is another workhorse weapon, a accurate hitscan attack and the flamethrower for providing crowd control, a perfect weapon for this kind of game. The latter is basically a more powerful Stakegun. With the bolts firing in a burst, accurate, and with a scope, and the alt-fire just firing 10 bouncy grenades. Enemies still tend to come in the huge numbers and simple strategies but are a bit more notable because each set is unique to each level theme. In which the levels, other than the last two non-boss levels, all have a original theme. This means you're almost always fighting something new level to level. As such the weird scaling aspect that was a part of the base game is gone as everything seems more in scale with the player's size. Overall, a great victory lap of the base game and since it's included already there's basically no reason not to try it if you want more good Painkiller content!

Overall, Painkiller really surprised me. I went in expecting just a Serious Sam like game and was genuinely surprised how the game shakes up the Large Enemy count with Linear Arenas gameplay loop. The little things it does different like the weapons, Tarot Cards, and just how Daniel can Quake Bunnyhop are just enough to make it standout to me. It's a shame that other than Overdose and Painkiller's Remake, this is the only genuinely well received Painkiller game. As every other expansion pack that came after I have not heard good things about. But at least Overdose does look interesting enough to give it a shot!
