Hostiles are everywhere. Take them out or be taken out in the revamp of everyone’s favorite ‘worst’ game Postal, in the new Postal Redux.

This remaster sees you against the world in differing areas filled with cops, military, civilians and ostriches.

Going from semi to full birds-eye view you with an arsenal of guns and explosives cause carnage across two continents, U.S. and Japan.

Postal Redux infact takes the best bits of past Postal games and mixes them up in one hell of a shooter fest.

Gameplay is simple. Run, gun, explore and make it to the exit. Play how you want, be strategic or be bold. In some Levels, being bold is likely to get you killed though.

You have one automatic gun with endless bullets and eventually will pick up others such as a pistol, shotgun, rocket launcher, flame thrower, grenades and more.

The narrative of Postal Redux is a bit, well, not really there. You are the ‘dude’ a dark and brooding individual who has beef with authority, law and society going ‘postal’ in public places with a requirement of taking out up to 90% of all ‘hostiles’.

The dark humour is a bit tongue in cheek, the game knows what it is and doesn’t take itself too seriously (and neither should you), other than the darker side of your character who between Levels the game indicates that he is falling deeper and deeper in to a psychoses.

Postal Redux also offers up a Rampage mode.

Kill or be killed, last the distance, clear the area with increasing difficulty. Rampage is exactly that, a bullet, explosive marathon. Oddly, Rampage mode is also a good practice play before you take on the harder Levels. Not that Rampage is exactly easy in itself.

A game that is quick to finish.

This will be a downer for most due to the length of play of the entire game. If you get real good clearing an area you’ll move through the differing environments at a lightning pace clearing the entire game in less than 6 to 7 hours. Postal Redux’s savior from being a play once and forget is the mentioned Rampage mode.

A controversial series that has seen it’s earlier predecessors banned in many countries, Postal Redux may test morals for some players but is still high on the playability factor and a game that, again, is not meant to be taken seriously.

POSTAL Redux, an HD remaster of the classic 23-year-old twin-stick shooter.

More than just a remaster, POSTAL Redux (ported by the Polish porting house, MD Games) will include new levels and a challenging new gameplay mode called Rampage.

Switch gamers will be able to relish the rapid-fire action enjoyed by millions of their PC counterparts next month when Running With Scissors releases the game on Nintendo Switch, marking the franchise’s first appearance on console.

With the new powerful addition of Rampage, POSTAL fans will go wild. The outrageous single-player game play mode rewards an aggressive style of play by increasing a multiplier for each consecutive kill in a streak. Players will receive a score and letter grade following the completion of each level. Rampage Mode will incentivize gamers to replay levels using different strategies to increase their score. Rampage gives gamers endless hours of fun, with its addictive and re-playable gameplay.

“Over 20 years ago, we had no clue the impact POSTAL would have had on society and gaming history.” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. “POSTAL coming out on SWITCH is our dream come true. On behalf of everyone at RWS we give thanks to our fans for the many years of support. We’re just getting started.”

POSTAL Redux will release on Nintendo Switch on October 16, 2020.
