The Raven team enhanced the engine with the addition of an inventory system, the ability to look up and down, and the ability to fly, along with some lesser features such as powerful wind currents. Not counting the inventory, the core gameplay that made Doom such a hit remained the same. …

Description

The angel/demon cross Belial is a feared demon of Lucifer’s army. Having now escaped one of the many prisons of Lucifer, he is out for revenge on those who framed him. As Belial, you must fight 40 types of enemies including huge bosses in purgatory – the land between heaven and hell. The levels feature horror-adjusted versions of familiar worldwide beings from mythology and history – gladiators, mummies and ninjas all become frightening foes.

Painkiller: Overdose is a raw first-person shooter similar to the previous Painkiller games; you run and gun for your life using a devastating arsenal of six different weapons. Originally developed as a fan-made modification, the team was given funding to make it into a full, independent game. The weapons have both primary and secondary firing modes. You may also combine these two and get a third firing mode as well.

Power-ups are again achieved via the Black Tarot cards, which set specific challenges and rewards for each level. The Demon Transform feature from the original also remains – it allows you to swallow the souls of your victims to use as charges for a smart-bomb effect. …

Painkiller – Resurrection

Description

Painkiller: Resurrection is a first-person shooter based upon Painkiller and Painkiller: Overdose. It is not a sequel to those games, but instead rehashes the familiar theme with a new protagonist, updated graphics and improved special effects.

You take the role of William “Wild Bill” Sherman, a Black Ops specialist and former CIA agent. Bill’s last mission went completely wrong and he was killed as were many innocent bystanders. Now he has arrived in purgatory, that interim place between heaven and hell where good and evil forces collide.

There are four difficulty levels in the single player game. As in other FPS games, your objective is to kill monsters and beasts and make it through the levels. Unlike previous Painkiller games, there are different ways to solve things, some less violent than others. For instance, you can sneak around areas where enemy spawning is likely.

Each of the eight weapons has different attack modes plus two firing modes. Besides standard guns there are outlandish weapons like a razor-spinning grenade launcher and a demon head that spews laser fire. Find additional weapons, ammunition, armor and gold by killing foes and destroying containers (urns, caskets, boxes etc.) Some objects can also be pushed. …
