It’s hard to truly recommend Paint the Town Red when only one of its game modes is truly that special. It feels so satisfying to deal grotesque voxely damage to the standard people, and replacing them with zombies, crystal crabs and Cthulu heads just takes away some of that sick pleasure. I also really didn’t appreciate the different enemy types in this mode. But for a permadeath mode like Beneath it feels a little imprecise. The combat in Paint the Town Red is enjoyable. In the caves you’ll find the usual random roguelike upgrades and weapons to help you make your way through each area. Once you’ve selected the one you want, it’s time to take the elevator down to the caves (which took me about 5 minutes to find in the huge lab hub area) and start your run. This roguelike offering starts by giving you a choice of classes, ranging from burly powerhouses to a warlock with epic elemental abilities. The final mode (and the one that’ll probably take up most of your time) is “Beneath”. But nothing quite compares to trying to be the last man standing in a western saloon or prison. It’s a fun little diversion and quite a challenge. One of these is the arena, where you’ll face rounds of enemies equipped with specific weapons. It feels pretty phenomenal to use these powers, and if you can stomach all the red it looks even better.Īfter you’ve played around in the 6 ridiculous combat stages, you’ll probably want to jump into another mode. Then there’s a lightning strike that you can call down from the heavens. Also present is a berserk mode which makes each of your punches so powerful that heads explode. There’s a shockwave that sends everyone flying (especially fun if there’s a balcony). Shockwave attack!Īs well as your basic attacks, you also have a variety of special abilities you can use when you’ve beaten enough people to a pulp. I regularly cried out in sheer disgust at these poor people like I’d just watched a Jackass stunt gone wrong. It’s genuinely one of the most horrific sites I’ve ever experienced in gamin. After a few swings you’ll see nothing but soft tissue, and eventually skulls and eye sockets can be seen through the face. Any time you hit them you’ll indent them and chip away at the blocks that make them up. Characters in Paint the Town Red are made of Voxels, you see. The other detail that really elevates this simple gameplay is the ultra violence.

It makes for a real movie style bar room brawl, and is just very entertaining. Firstly, when you begin the chaos and start throwing fists (or pool balls) other people in the environment will start scrapping with each other. There isn’t a whole lot to these stages, but it’s the little things that make these brawls interesting. And with that knowledge you’ll be ready to have a hell of a nightclub brawl. With each weapon you can jab, swing or throw. Sounds simple enough, right? But with dozens of enemies and only the weapons you find to survive it’s anything but.
In the main Scenario mode of Paint the Town Red, you’ll be dropped into an environment and tasked with killing everyone in it. Paint the Town Red is looking to change that. But it’s rarer for them to be the focal point anymore. Brutal and bloody moments are still plentiful in video games, of course. Be it a classic like DOOM or a more vapid experience like Postal. In days past a bit of gore was often all it took to sell a game. It may not be particularly tasteful, but there’s something very satisfying about playing an ultra violent video game.
