Painkiller Redemption

Painkiller Redemption was developed by the Eggtooth Team and released in 2011.

In this fourth Painkiller installment, you alternately play as Daniel and Belial,
the protagonists of Painkiller: Black Edition and Overdose, respectively,
as they continue their relentless battle against the forces of evil.

As the saying goes, "Don't fix what ain't broken."
The gameplay, graphics, enemies, environments, and music remain virtually unchanged.
Well, almost.

You'll find nearly all the weapons from Painkiller and Overdose in this game,
but curiously, those from the first game's expansion (Battle Out of Hell) are nowhere to be found.

That said, the already lightning-fast and electrifying gameplay of previous titles ramps up to a whole new level of intensity here.
Did you find the earlier Painkiller games too tame, too soft, with their mere hundreds of demons to slaughter per level?
Good news! The guys at Eggtooth Team had you in mind!

Be warned: the maps in Painkiller Redemption are quite small,
so much so that the game feels like an arena shooter.
And for good reason—the six levels are based on multiplayer maps from previous entries!
These maps have been slightly reworked and split into bite-sized segments,
where you face hordes of enemies spawning by the hundreds.
In some cases, you’ll need to mow down over a thousand creatures per map!
Once a massacre is complete, a new section of the map unlocks,
complete with a checkpoint that restores your health and saves your progress.

It’s worth noting that Redemption can be downright brutal at times,
thanks to the overwhelming number of enemies you face in such tiny spaces.
This makes the game incredibly intense, bordering on downright frenetic at times.
It’s a real challenge for fans of the earlier titles.
That said, I was surprised by how easy the final boss fight felt—
previous Painkiller games had conditioned me to expect more epic battles.

Leave your brain at the door for Painkiller Redemption.
This game takes the concept of a mindless, action-packed shooter to the extreme.
Blazingly fast and hardcore, this fourth chapter doesn’t mess around.
Claustrophobes and fans of laid-back games need not apply!
That said, it’s a shame the game is so short and feels less inspired than its predecessors.

They had on mantles with the hoods low down
before their eyes, and fashioned of the cut
that in Cologne they for the monks are made.
Without, they gilded are so that it dazzles;
but inwardly all leaden and so heavy
that Frederick used to put them on of straw

Well I perceived one sent from Heaven was he,
and to the Master turned; and he made sign
that I should quiet stand, and bow before him.
Ah! how disdainful he appeared to me!
He reached the gate, and with a little rod
he opened it, for there was no resistance.

Absolutely secondary and boring experience, absolutely no new features or additions. You can skip it.

Mindless close quarters slaughter.
Could be fun for some.

Less bugged than Resurrection, but eggtooth team managed to create such ridiculous spawns that so far it is the worst experience in Painkiller series

Trash... 6 levels of (HAHA I GOT YOU TRAPPED IN A SMALL ROOM!!!)... well O.K. you beat this room, go ahead to the next room that I promise isn't 100% exactly the same thing... (HAHA I GOT YOU TRAPPED IN A SMALL ROOM!!!)... well O.K. you beat this room, go ahead to the next room that I promise isn't 100% exactly the same thing... (HAHA I GOT YOU TRAPPED IN A SMALL ROOM!!!)... Etc.. Etc.. Just play PAINKILLER BLACK EDITION then just skip the rest of the entire series pretty much.

This one was one of the better Painkiller fan-made sequels if not the best (haevn't played recurring evil yet),
However it really captured the joy of the original, with less bugs, but the extreme count of enemies on screen at once, doesn't really help its AI, as you can easily group them in large swarms and detonate them...

Ludzie którzy dają negatywy są typowymi szkolnymi kujonkami, albo dzisiejszymi dorosłymi korpo szczurami, którzy liżą buty szefowi:
"No za dużo jest przeciwników, za fajnie się ich morduje, aż zaraz nie wytrzymam, najlepiej nasrać tylko troszeczkę szkielecików, którzy będą strzelać z połowy mapy jak w 'battle out of hell', żeby gracz musiał jak w quake'u na instabigie ich kołkownicą snajpić a jak jestem w stanie w końcu używać tutłowej borni 'pankiller' to już mi się nie podoba bo jest za łatwo a ja chce jebane dark soulsy zrobić z gry z 2004 roku"

Redemption jest właśnie tym czego nie byłó w pierwszym painkillerze.
Są mapy z ponad tysiącem przeciwników, jest dużo amunicji i dwie postacie czyli mamy wszystkie bronie z serii.
Jest to typowa gra do zabawy a ludzie, którzy tego nie rozumieją niech wracaja do swojego trującego bagna w dark soulsach.

My first painkiller game was Painkiller Recurring Evil. I Purchased this game because it was developed by Eggtooth Team which is behind the excellent music of recurring evil. This game unfortunately does not have any amazing in-combat music except the one which you will hear in the very end while credits are rolling. The game really lacks depth but the satisfying gun-play of painkiller is still there. This game do put you up against 700-1000 enemies per level. So if you want to use the overpowered weaponry on dozens of enemies at once, in this game you can do that. I would recommend playing recurring evil or black edition first and then this if you want some more action. Generally I go for trauma difficulty in painkiller games but for this I completed the game on nightmare difficulty. For playing in trauma difficulty I would recommend the hellgun mod (restores the weapon especially made for dealing this game's difficulty ) or unlimited ammo mod so that you would not run out of rocket launchers ammo.

If you want a repetitive and bland mixture (every map is the same - hordes of enemies in tight spaces) of the original two games, this is your jam. It's a good thing I got this thing dirt cheap (packed with the original games during a sale), because I don't know how anyone would get tricked into spending 5 bucks for something that should have been a free mod.

Way too many monsters to kill it takes away the fun of the game
