If you were a gamer in the 90s, chances are you’ve heard of POSTAL, a controversial top-down shooter that pushed the boundaries with its violent gameplay and dark humor. Now, over 20 years later, the game has been remastered and revived with POSTAL Redux.
What is POSTAL Redux?
Released in May 2016, POSTAL Redux is an HD remaster of the original POSTAL game. Developed by Running With Scissors, the game pays homage to the original while also introducing new features and improvements.
In POSTAL Redux, players take on the role of the Postal Dude, a disgruntled and mentally unstable postal worker who decides to go on a rampage after being fired from his job. The game is a top-down shooter where the objective is to complete each level while wiping out anyone and everyone in your way using an arsenal of weapons.
Enhanced Graphics and Audio
One of the biggest improvements in POSTAL Redux is the updated graphics and audio. The game has been remastered in HD, giving it a modern and polished look. The levels, characters, and weapons have all been redesigned and updated, but still maintain the retro charm of the original game.
The game also features improved audio, with a newly recorded soundtrack and voice acting. The original voice actor for the Postal Dude, Rick Hunter, reprises his role, along with new voice actors for the other characters.
New Gameplay Features
Aside from the updated graphics and audio, POSTAL Redux also introduces new gameplay features and improvements. The most notable addition is the new Rampage mode, where players can freely explore each level and cause as much chaos and destruction as they want.
The game also includes a new score system, achievements, and leaderboards, making it more competitive and challenging for players.
Controversy and Censorship
Just like the original game, POSTAL Redux has been met with controversy and censorship. In fact, the game was initially banned in Australia due to its extreme violence and controversial themes. However, after some changes were made, the game was finally released in the country.
The game’s developers have also faced backlash from certain groups who have deemed the game’s violence as glorifying mass shootings and other violent acts. However, Running With Scissors has always maintained that the game is intended as satire and should not be taken seriously.
Conclusion
In conclusion, POSTAL Redux is a faithful remaster of the original POSTAL game, with updated graphics, new gameplay features, and a touch of controversy. Whether you’re a fan of the original or new to the franchise, POSTAL Redux is definitely worth checking out for its over-the-top action and dark humor.
