A direct sequel to Painkiller, the popular first-person shooter from 2004. In contrast to the original, the production wasn’t developed by the Poland-based studio People Can Fly but Mindware Studios, a Czech studio. We don’t assume the role of Daniel Garner, the protagonist of the prequel either, although the events partly take place before his lone crusade.

The single player story campaign consists of sixteen entirely new levels that can be beaten on several different difficulty levels.

The events of Overdose party take place before the events of the original so we assume the role of a completely new character. Like before, the story plays a ing role and doesn’t interfere with mass extermination of monsters that appear on the screen.
