Instead of being able to stay in the fight and cause chaos, often you’re reduced to strategies like running back and forth, chipping away at your opponent’s health (and bodies) between hits. Perhaps the only downside to all this is the complete lack of any way to heal yourself in Scenario, and only being healed a small amount between fights in Arena. It’s always super messy, leaving a disaster of guts and a river of blood.
Since every enemy in the game is made up of voxels, entire parts of their bodies will explode, cave in, be torn off, and more when you hit them. You can even throw the pool stick like a javelin, hurling it across the map and into someone’s chest. Hit them at the right angle and their entire head may explode. Jab it into someone’s head and an entire chunk of their head gets a massive hole in it, spurting blood violently.
Pick up a pool cue and things get bloody. There’s only a single attack button and if you stab or slash is dependent on if you press or hold it. The combat system is fun, and feels brutal. Outside of that, you can pick up almost any item in the environment which you can then use to slash and stab at enemies. Get it to certain points and you can use one of three special abilities: send out a shockwave that knocks everyone down, go berserk so the game goes into slow-mo so you literally explode people’s heads with your fists, or call down lightning from God to smite people. You have one ability on a cooldown, a kick that can send people flying, and a skill bar that fills up as you deal damage. In both modes, you’ll have the same loadout. Outside of getting a little health back between rounds, you’re on your own here.
Another is just a boss rush of all the bosses from Beneath (which I’ll get to in a minute.) You need to win all fights in a row, lose in one and you have to start over from the beginning. One, for example, has a focus on Roman gladiators, with most enemies having big shields and spears. Generally, there’s a theme for each challenge. You’ll pick one of five challenges, and then participate in anywhere between seven to ten back-to-back fights. There are some modifiers for silly bonus modes, like Gun Show where you can find a carpet of guns hidden somewhere in the map, but once you win one scenario you’ve basically seen them all.Īrena is a little more structured. Each of the stages has fun little quirks that you can exploit, different weapons to find, and little hidden areas, but for the most part, these are just maps where you punch people until everyone falls over. Here you pick one of five arenas (technically six, but two are the same arenas at different times of day) and fight between 70 and 90 enemies. There are three options on the title screen: “Scenario” “Beneath” and “Arena.” Each of them is pretty different, with Scenario being the original experience. When you first start Paint the Town Red it’s a bit tough to tell where you’re supposed to go. So was it worth the long wait? Or should you find other colors to paint the town? Paint the Town Red spent nearly six years in Early Access, but now the super bloody first-person brawler is finally here.
It can also be where games spend eternity trapped in forever development.
