How it feels
A relentless, old-school shooter that feels like tearing through hell with brutal weapons and a gritty, dark atmosphere.

What players say
Players say Recurring Evil is essentially a paid mod that reuses assets and spams enemies until combat feels like a chore. It runs smoothly and has the classic Painkiller gameplay, but the level design is lazy, the bosses are broken, and the short campaign is only for diehard fans.
