Gameplay

Painkiller is an FPP action game created by People Can Fly (a Polish developer) and inspired by classic shooters, such as Quake or Unreal Tournament. The protagonist kills the undead in dungeons filled with darkness, haunted castles, etc. He had once been a normal human being, going by the name Daniel Garner – he lived, loved, laughed, worked, he used to be heppy, he used to be depressed, and one day, just like any other human, he died. Contrary to others, however, he didn't end up in neither heaven nor hell – instead, he was chosen to become a warrior, whose job is to defeat the Lucifer's hordes. In that instance, his whole existence collapsed into a war against the demons. Only through defeating evil can the protagonist achieve redemption and reach heaven. The game offers about a dozen levels (divided into five chapters) along with a plot that ties them all together, and is definitely linear. The game features a number of weapons featuring alternative modes and capabilities the players have not seen before. There’s the ShotGun, the StakeGun, the Chain Gun / Rocket Launcher or the Shuriken-do Gun, to name just a few, as well as both parts of equipment and unique power-ups. Without such arsenal, dealing with such creatures as Saphathoraél, Zombie Knight, Psychonun or Skull wouldn’t be possible.
