Painkiller: Recurring Evil for PC, PS3 and X360 is the sixth installment of the action-filled FPS series initiated in 2004 by People Can Fly, a Polish dev studio.

Plot

The story of Recurring Evil tells of Bill Sherman, the protagonist of 2009’s Painkiller: Resurrection, yet again. The action takes place in the purgatory, where we have to face the forces of darkness in a battle for our soul. The only way to win it is to wade through dangerous and uncharted areas that are filled with hellish creatures. Each of five new locations was designed from scratch by the Russian MED-Art studio and is characterized by great degree of variety. Combat takes place in gloomy abbey or a jungle-swallowed temple complex just to switch to an old warehouse or a destroyed highway full of abandoned car wreckages.
