Painkiller is a game that was developed by the Polish studio People Can Fly. The basic premise of the game is that you go from room to room, killing every monster in the area until you open the level-ending portal. Level design ranges from cemeteries and catacombs to modern military bases and prisons along with Venusian cities and Japanese opera houses.Xbox TrailerExcuse Plot
The protagonist Daniel Garner (Cam Clarke) is taking his wife Catherine (Vanessa Marshall) out for a birthday meal even though it's pouring rain outside. Daniel decides to take several looks at his wife, even though he's driving, before plowing straight into an oncoming truck, killing them both instantly. His wife goes to Heaven while he stays in purgatory.
On a random day, an angel named Samael offers him a deal that in order to receive purification and go to Heaven, he will have to slay all four of Lucifer's generals. As Daniel has nothing better to do with his time and is able to complete the task he accepts.Weapons
Painkiller
• Primary Fire: Pain
The name is no joke, as it cuts through enemies like they're just a slightly-tough vegetable.
• Secondary Fire: Killer
The blade on the end launches forward, with a laser being emitted if you look at the projectile. This attack can instant-kill most enemies you encounter and also reels them in towards you, allowing you to collect their soul easier.
• Combo Attack: Spinning Death
Holding primary fire and launching with the secondary attack will launch the blade as it's spinning, making it turn into a mince-maker. Unfortunately you'll have to aim at the enemy's chest for it to be effective.Shotgun
• Primary Fire: Shotgun
As this is your classic double-barreled shotgun, this weapon will make short work of enemies close up. Unfortunately if you get outside of a range longer than about 20 feet this weapon starts losing effectiveness, with most of the pellets harmlessly bouncing off of enemies.
• Secondary Fire: Freezer
Shots of liquid nitrogen fire out of the red tubes on the side of the weapon, almost instantly freezing any enemy hit by them. (Save for ones larger than a car.)
• Combo Attack: Shatter
I'm sure you can guess what this requires. (Frozen enemy and shotgun blast.)Stake / Grenade Launcher
• Primary Fire: Stake
This is the primary function of the Stake and Grenade launcher, and is what you'll use if you want to snipe enemies from afar. If the stake stays in the air long enough it'll catch itself on fire for whatever reason and do more damage.
• Secondary Fire: Grenade
A short-ranged attack if not moving forward, this attack will kill almost any enemy hit directly with it or is near the explosion. You should use this if you need to clear a crowd.
• Combo Attack: Staked Grenade
Hitting the grenade with a stake will basically turn the grenade into a rocket, dealing massive damage with a good explosion radius.Electrodriver
(It wouldn't be a Painkiller thread without mentioning this weapon at least once.)
• Primary Fire: Driver
This is the shuriken part. They explode after a short while if they don't hit anything, dealing more damage.
• Secondary Fire: Electro
This is the lightning part. This attack kills enemies quite quickly and is good to use if you're having trouble hitting them.
• Combo Attack: Electrified-Disc
Using the secondary attack and firing the primary will launch the large disk in the middle with so much electricity it'll arc to enemies like a Tesla coil. Be aware, this attack consumes tons of electricity so use it wisely.Rocket Launcher Minigun
• Primary Fire: Rocket Launcher
This attack launches a rocket from the middle of the barrel, dealing good splash damage with a large radius to boot. Strangely this attack uses grenades from the Stake Launcher.
• Secondary Fire: Minigun
Fire on an enemy until they're dead. Enemies will continually flinch from this attack, making it perfect for denying a ranged attacker from shooting you.
• Combo Attack: There is none, so don't even try.Gallery
