The levels aren’t enormous but there’s a little room to explore and, if you’re not careful, get penned into a room but, as the person who started the punch-up, you’ve only got yourself to blame. That, in itself, is a good enough reason to keep moving. The twisted genius of this is that you can be so distracted by the chaos that you won’t notice the two angry patrons coming up the stairs behind you. When the fight breaks out, it’s everyone for themselves you’ll have a few people coming after you but you’ll also witness other people pummelling each other, grabbing weapons off the floor and so on. Secondly, you’re not the only person getting punched.
If Paint the Town Red looked in any way realistic it’d be absolutely horrific but the game gets away with it due to its aforementioned Minecraft-style graphics. Thanks to the voxel-based graphics, you can literally smack someone’s face right off, revealing their skull beneath. Firstly, they’re so amazingly chaotic you can punch, you can kick, you can fling anything you can get your hands on. There are two things in particular that make these brawls stand out. Then you throw a chair, or fire a cannon and it all kicks off maybe I should feel more guilty about that than getting two games for one. You’ll wander into a blocky Minecraft style location – a biker bar, a disco, a prison, a pirate cove – and everyone’s just enjoying themselves. Especially since, in all bar the challenge and dungeon levels, you’re the one who starts the fights. When it comes to brawling, you don’t quite have the precision of, say, Assassins’ Creed Valhalla, but fighting for your life never gets old. Still, there’s so much to love about Paint the Town Red that you’ll be happy to overlook that particular oddity. This is a game that’s ostensibly about starting pub fights but it has an entire roguelike dungeon crawler inside it. Not because of all the gratuitous murder but because, as glorious as this first-person brawler is, it feels like two games.Īfter six years in development ( we first got our hands on it in 2015), I suspect the only reason Paint the Town Red left Early Access was because someone at South East Games physically dragged the programmer away from their keyboard. At first, I felt a little guilty playing Paint the Town Red.
