What is Painkiller Hell & Damnation?

  • +you enjoy fast shooting against hordes of demons
  • +you want to play a shooter campaign cooperatively

Not for you if...

  • you dislike clearing repeated waves of enemies in arenas
  • you prefer slower combat with automatic health recovery

What players say

78% of 4,355 reviews are positive

Players praise the fast shooting and dark level designs, and some enjoy the co-op campaign. Many complain that the remake leaves out levels from the originals and compares poorly with them in combat and enemy selection; some also report co-op problems.
