Play as The Postal Dude in his first appearance in a video game. Just good antisocial, psychotic shoot-'em-up action, strategy and government intervention. Crazed gunmen are out for blood and wait around every corner. Players fight back with a destructive arsenal as they make their way through a kill-or-be-killed psychological thriller.
One major addition to Postal Redux is Rampage Mode, a new single-player mode based around a scoring system, which encourages an aggressive style of play by increasing a multiplier for each consecutive kill in a streak. Players will receive a grade following the completion of each level.
Postal Redux will maintain the elements that made the original Postal world-renowned. The grim art style, frightening ambience, the omnipresent "demonic voice" and the marching band will be faithfully recreated in this modern day take on a title which became a symbol for free speech in gaming.
More than just a remaster, Postal Redux (ported by the Polish porting house, MD Games) will include new levels and a challenging new gameplay mode called Rampage.
Switch gamers will be able to relish the rapid-fire action enjoyed by millions of their PC counterparts next month when Running With Scissors releases the game on Nintendo Switch, marking the franchise’s first appearance on console.
With the new powerful addition of Rampage, Postal fans will go wild. The outrageous single-player game play mode rewards an aggressive style of play by increasing a multiplier for each consecutive kill in a streak. Players will receive a score and letter grade following the completion of each level. Rampage Mode will incentivize gamers to replay levels using different strategies to increase their score. Rampage gives gamers endless hours of fun, with its addictive and re-playable gameplay.
“Over 20 years ago, we had no clue the impact Postal would have had on society and gaming history.” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. “Postal coming out on Switch is our dream come true. On behalf of everyone at RWS we give thanks to our fans for the many years of support. We’re just getting started.”
