It's Hell
The upcoming expansion pack, Painkiller: Battle Out
Of Hell, builds on the original Painkiller, famous for its lightning-fast gameplay,
incredibly varied environments and amazing monsters. The base game sports 24 totally unique
levels ranging from a rundown prison to a gothic opera house to a landlocked monastery and a
very original rendition of Hell.
Along with improved visual effects and new
multiplayer modes (including a hellish mutation on Capture the Flag!), the expansion pack
delivers a brand new 10-level single-player chapter. In keeping with the Painkiller
tradition, every level of this new chapter is totally different from the one before it, and
each level is haunted by its own specific demons.
Read on for a sneak peek at just
some of the levels and the creeps who will be trying to stop you in Painkiller: Battle Out
Of Hell!
The Levels
Orphanage
This hellish orphanage
plays home to the most tortured of souls, dead orphaned children. Their souls condemned to
wander purgatory for eternity, the denizens of Painkillers Orphanage will pose a particular
threat.
Evil Girl: Possessed from birth, the Evil Girl discovered her evil powers at
a very young age. She has the ability to set her surroundings on fire.
Nun Ghost: Who
knows what earthly sins damned the Nun Ghost to this horrid place? Her primary attack is an
auto-aiming ball of fire.
Pinokio: Is it a real boy, or just a demonic toy? This
possessed wooden toy comes alive when touched or hurt.
LoonyPark
It may look
like a place of fun and merriment, but theres no joy in Loonypark. Here, youll come across
some of the most twisted demons in the Painkiller universe. This is definitely an E-ticket
ride!
Clown: This nasty villain is the reason why many children have deathly fears of
clowns. Watch out for the small explosives he throws.
Corn: Looking like some bizarre
mix of a man and popcorn, Corn attacks you by throwing small poisonous balls.
Dead
City
It may appear to be a simple, modern metropolitan city, but in Painkiller,
nothing is ever as it seems. The buildings in this city look as normal as can be, but Dead
City is home to the creepiest, weirdest monsters youll face.
Preacher: If this is
the Preacher, you can only imagine what his congregation must look like! This well-fed
gentleman carries a giant axe and wears cut-off feet as a trophy necklace. Among other
things, he can throw a car at the player
Panzer Spider: This weird, giant
cyberspider has many different attacks (ice breath, earthquake, etc.). Watch out for this
one!
Leningrad
Leningrad was the site of one of the hardest fought battles in
human history. Its no wonder then that in Purgatory, the war has never quite ended. The
buildings here burn with the fires of hell, smoking ash floats through the air, and the sky
is black from an eternity of conflict.
Russian Soldier: This soldier might be dead,
but he still packs a punch armed with Russian firearms and grenades.
German Soldier:
Tenacious, the German Soldier wont back down from any fight. Hes armed with demonic
versions of German firearms and grenades.
Russian Officer: Burned in the fires of
eternal war, this horribly disfigured commanding officer has a number of attacks to watch
out for. Most devastatingly, he can call an devilish airstrike to bomb an entire
area!
Deto: This chubby fellow is a detonations expert. Hell drop mines to trap you,
but be careful of his explosive kamikaze
attack.
