The POSTAL Dude is trying to survive in a town gone mad with violence, and this remake of the original isometric twin-stick shooter, now in high definition, puts you in his shoes. Armed gunmen wait around every corner, so the aim is to take them out before they take you out, using a large arsenal.
The remake refreshes the visuals, music, sound and dialogue and modernizes the gameplay. Multiplayer includes online co-op for up to four players and online deathmatch for up to eight. The tone is dark and surreal, with very violent content. Running With Scissors developed it. It suits shooter fans who like arcade twin-stick action and a deliberately provocative sense of humour.
