POSTAL: Brain Damaged is a spin-off title in the POSTAL series developed by HYPERSTRANGE and CreativeForge Games, and published by Running with Scissors and HYPERSTRANGE. The game was released on PC on June 9th, 2022, with a PlayStation 4/5 release on October 25th 2023 and a Nintendo Switch release on February 2nd 2024.
Plot[]
The game allows you enter the mind of the Postal Dude as you fight your way through a veritable smorgasboard of twisted enemies and bosses across three episodes.
Gameplay[]
Referred to as a "Boomer Shooter", this game is heavily inspired by classic FPS games such as Doom and Quake. As such, levels are large with an exit the player must find to complete the level, player movement is far smoother than mainline FPS POSTAL games, and the graphical aesthetic is retro inspired. As the game takes place in the Dude's dreamscape (or "Dudescape" if you will), many of the useable weapons are intentionally zany (such as the Super Hooker Shotgun) with unique alt-fires. Items make a return as does the ability to Piss. Enemies are also referred to as "Hostiles", a nod to the original POSTAL.
Following Doom's example, the game is divided into three episodes with five levels per episode:
Trivia[]
- As the developers are a Polish outfit, this game may be considered a type of "Slav Jank".
- The game in the development stage on the Steam page noted that the game features Polish dub. However, this dub was likely cancelled, because as of now, the game has only English voice over.
- It is the only POSTAL game with a Metacritic score over 60 as it currently holds a score of 71.
- Rumours of an Xbox release were shut down by Running With Scissors, stating Microsoft won't approve any Postal games for Xbox.
