Painkiller’s creator isn’t a fan of its recent co-op reboot: ‘I disagreed with every single thing they’ve done in it’

A new Painkiller title was released by Anshar Studios, shifting from a single-player horde shooter to a cooperative experience similar to Left 4 Dead, incorporating elements from Doom Eternal. The game received a Mixed rating from nearly 600 reviews on Steam. Industry veteran Adrian Chmielarz criticized the reboot, expressing dissatisfaction with its direction and tone, arguing that the changes undermined the original's atmosphere and seriousness. He suggested that the decision to retain the Painkiller name may have negatively impacted its commercial success. Chmielarz is currently working on Witchfire, an RPG shooter that launched as an Epic exclusive in 2023, with a recent update requiring adjustments due to gameplay balance issues.
