Postal Redux is a remake of the very first Postal game, originally released in 1997. This updated version takes the classic isometric shooter and gives it a new coat of paint, along with tons of gameplay updates and changes. The shooting is fast and responsive, similar to games like Halo: Spartan Assault and Assault Heroes.

As is expected with the Postal franchise, Postal Redux is an unabashedly gory, grotesque, and morbid experience, primarily interested in giving players tons of weapons and letting them go ballistic. The game focuses on an ordinary guy who “goes postal” on his urban hometown, spraying every person in sight with a load of lead. While some might call it disgusting and insensitive, Postal Redux is a one-of-a-kind shooter experience that never slows down.

Main Game Features

  • New modes and levels
  • Exclusive execution animations
  • Rebalanced combat

Story

In Postal Redux, you play as an ordinary dude simply known as “the Postal guy”. After being kicked out of his house, the Postal guy quickly devolves into conspiracy theories, believing that the government is attempting to poison his hometown.

Intent on stopping this imaginary threat, the Postal guy whips out his favorite weapon and begins to fight his way toward an Air Force base. This journey takes him through a variety of everyday locations, including his suburban neighborhood, farms, junkyards, and more. The game also includes the Special Delivery expansion, which adds a handful of new levels into the mix.

Gameplay

Postal Redux is primarily an isometric shooter, but there are a few top-down levels sprinkled in for good measure. In each level, your overall objective is to eliminate a certain percentage of the armed enemies scattered around the map. There are four different difficulty settings to choose from, including Easy, Medium, Hard, and Nightmare. Only the most skilled players will be able to survive in Hard or Nightmare modes, requiring ultra-precision and ammo preservation.

The game includes over 20 unique weapons, ranging from machine guns and shotguns to proximity mines and a napalm launcher. Generally speaking, Postal Redux takes everything that was awkward or clunky about the original game and brings it up to a modern standard. The game has been completely remade in a brand new engine, offering crisper characters, new visual filters, and much more. There have been a variety of gameplay changes as well, including better enemy AI, added weapons, and new spawn points.

These changes help Postal Redux feel smoother and more satisfying, offering a more visceral and engaging shooter experience.

Conclusion

While Postal Redux has its fair share of problems, the base gameplay shines through in this wacky remake. New voice-acting, a bigger arsenal of weapons, and gameplay balancing makes this the definitive and best way to experience the original Postal. While the excessive amount of violence, blood, and nihilistic storytelling might be too much for some players, fans of gory, over-the-top shooters will definitely enjoy it.
