About Painkiller: Black Edition

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.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Painkiller: Black Edition is praised for its striking art direction, excellent metal soundtrack, and diverse level settings, but players consistently criticize its clunky gameplay, bland combat mechanics, slow movement, and frustratingly designed boss fights that feel unfinished compared to similar classic shooters like Serious Sam. Most reviewers suggest the game is a tedious slog to get through despite its stylish presentation, with mechanics that feel dated even by early 2000s standards and don't hold up well to repeated playthroughs or modern comparison.

in another effort to review every video game that has helped distract me from the crushing weight of my own mortality and the unavoidable horrors of the human condition: i'd give this game a 6.3/10 with the footnote: [i] don't let my playtime fool you, i was playing this game at 15fps before i even knew what a frame was or why i needed multiple of them per second. anyway yea get me some painkillers bc this game gives me a headache [/i]

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
