A single week of errands keeps spiraling into chaos for a hapless everyman known as the Postal Dude. POSTAL 2 is a first-person comedy-action game set in open environments full of caricatured townspeople, a toy mascot gone bad named Krotchy, a besieged religious compound run by Uncle Dave and a not entirely loyal pit bull named Champ. Weapons range from a plain shovel to heavier firepower, and the AI reacts in unpredictable ways to what the player does.
The humor is crude, violent and deliberately offensive, aimed at an adult audience comfortable with that. Players can approach the errands in different ways. It is single-player with full controller support.
