Postal vs Painkiller

POSTAL casts the user as a nameless surrogate character brought to the breaking point when his home in Paradise, Arizona is unjustly repossessed. Believing the repossession is part of a demonic conspiracy to dominate humanity, he unleashes relentless vengeance across 17 distinct locations. Navigate through a small town to a heavily guarded military complex using a third-person premeditated perspective. Employ strategic combat tactics against armed locals in this intense indie action horror experience developed by Running With Scissors.

Painkiller thrusts players into a gothic, horror‑infused world where they battle hordes of undead and demonic foes. With its classic arena shooter mechanics, the game delivers intense, fast‑fire combat across varied, atmospheric levels. The title offers both a gritty single‑player campaign and robust multiplayer modes, letting you duel friends or strangers in frantic deathmatches.
