About the Game
Painkiller is a reimagining of the classic franchise, featuring co-op play for up to three players and full offline support. Battle hordes of demons and titanic terrors across richly detailed gothic environments.
Trapped in Purgatory, you are sentenced for your transgressions against Heaven. But the Voice of the Creator gives you a chance to redeem yourself. As one of the Champions, you are to stop the fallen angel Azazel who is about to unleash his demonic armies onto Earth. You will face hordes of enemies, demons with unique powers and three monstrous children of Azazel - the Nephilim.
Will you succeed in your mission and earn your salvation?
Purgatory Is Your Playground - Jump, dash, and hook across vast biomes while fighting enemies with a host of new and classic Painkiller weapons.
Grotesque Terrors Await - Challenge a variety of enemies ranging from hordes of smaller demons to titanic terrors.
Unleash The Pain - Utilize tarot cards to enhance your abilities and combine them with other players to obliterate your foes.
Choose Your Character Wisely - Play as one of four distinctive characters - Ink, Void, Sol and Roch - and take advantage of their unique perks to boost your energy, health, power and damage.
Rogue Angel Mode – Step beyond the main campaign and into a new realm of Purgatory. Team up with your friends and fight for survival in handcrafted randomized arenas.

Hello Champions,
While you've been busy keeping the horde at bay, we've been squashing bugs. Demons are absolutely crawling with them, but we've managed to kill a few of the bigger ones before they spread any further:
Fixed an issue that caused some players to experience stuttering.
Fixed an issue that caused the Electrodriver's lightning attack to not be visible when encountering the Taurus while in the Prologue.
Fixed an issue where weapon upgrades that appeared to be equipped would not be.
Fixed an issue where if the player unlocked an upgrade in an upgrade path that they currently did not have selected, that upgrade would be highlighted.
Added the ability to rebind mouse buttons.
Added the ability to rebind all keys, with the exception of ESC.
That should help you focus on blasting those unholy vermin. If you have feedback on the demo so far, let us know about it in this thread.
If you run into any more bugs, issues (or god forbid, rogue demons), please file a ticket with our support meatbags here.
