POSTAL: Brain Damaged

If you like/don't mind -stale memes -outdated pop culture references -cool level design -weird weapons -repeating voice lines -vulgar/crude humor -postal -[strike] stolen [/strike]recycled mechanics from other games -a decent FPS then buy this game. It's good.

POSTAL Brain Damaged is what happens when you throw ULTRAKILL and DOOM Eternal into a blender. It's really fun! It has a really good arsenal of weapons, amazing wacky characters to kill, interesting level conceptions, and a kickass soundtrack. It feels like a major parody of Postal 1. As much as I enjoyed it however, there are issues. The level design can be really inconsistent sometimes and the game can be a bit slow during the downtime from fights and the first half is a lot harder than the second, even on medium difficulty. They always give you powerups to deal with the fights, so when I replay this, I will have to update my review and see what the harder difficulties are like. 8/10

Absolutely superb game. The story is crazy and fun, the enemies are well. The maps are pretty solid although I'm missing the open world Postal but it is fine. If you want a few hours (7-11) fun this game absolutely provides it for you

Probably one of the best postal games and it's not even made by running with scissors, not much of an insult considering that most people play postal (mainly 2) to lmao all over the place.

I love Postal 1/2 and boomer shooters, but this game ain't it. It's not terrible, just mediocre. Basic level designs, clunky gunplay and movement, cringe and forced humor. Had good ideas, just poorly executed.

Not really a fun Postal game or boomer shooter. Kind of just middle of the road

I did not find this game all that enjoyable. Hatred DID a great job at paying homage to Postal. Postal: Brain Damage DID NOT do a great job at paying homage to old school shooters. It feels like they literally took a big steaming dump on the genre as a whole.

Quite easy on the 100% Achievement end but it's such an fun time that i don't really mind. In terms of just the game itself wow this is such a solid well put together arena shooter, especially for something as usually jank as Postal. I look forward to another Postal game looking this great as well, maybe we'll get a sequel after that dlc eh?

Postal(specifically 2 and 4, 1 is whatever, and 3 never happened) has always been a game franchise that has grows up with you. Yeah you got your sonics and marios, classic of course, but Postal has always scratched that itch in our violence addled brains in a way most M rated games try but fail to achieve. Brain Damaged is a spin off done perfectly as Postal has always been begging for a high intensity boomer shooter treatment, and the folks at Hyperstrange delivered in spades. Same Postal flavor, just a different package. Highly recommended , 9/10

Heard this game was trash but it was actually really fun, cant always listen to some guy on the internet. but maybe you'll think it sucks and you shouldn't listen to me lol. It was like new doom but with old doom graphics.

Juegazo estilo boomer shooter que mezcla casi de manera random las mecánicas de juegos de la competencia, como el parry de ultrakill, el bunnyhop de dust (?, armas con disparo secundario a lo doom 2016 y la escopeta con gancho de eternal; y por supuesto un diseño de niveles parecido con mucha verticalidad como en quake. Mantiene la escencia de Postal y lo combina con un gameplay bastante frenético, eso si, el jefe final lo derrotas con puras habilidades, a menos que estes en dificultades bajas, lo cual le quita un poco de complejidad. Cómpralo en oferta que esta buenardo 8/10

Humor's a bit much for me but the game is pretty fun.

This is honestly WAY better than Doom Eternal. The map designs are awesome, the enemies are fun, the simple puzzles don't break the gameplay, besides a few bugs, there's nothing to complain here. Just like Cultic, a masterclass on how to do a Boomer shooter.

It's a fun boomer shooter game, with Postal type humor. I would highly recommend this to anyone who like Boomer shooter games like Duke Nukem 3D/Doom/Quake. One thing that kinda bothers me is that Window Grahical Glitch that appears when playing the game on the Steam Deck. Since the next DLC will be coming, I do hope that this Bug would be fix soon. Since I prefer to play on steam deck on a dock.

Extremely fun game. Picked it up during the Steam Summer Sale and gotta say... This is now Postal 3. Everything is on point. The humor, the gunplay, the soundtrack, the enemy design, the levels.. Just nailed it. Play this!

Postal: Brain Damaged is a boomer-shooter set in the universe of the Postal series, taking place in the Dude's dream. The game trades the traditional, task-based system most games in the series are known for, for a more combat-based, high octane play style, more similiar to games like Doom. The game also differs from the rest of the series in presentation, utilizing more abstract, low-poly graphics and beautifully animated 2D cutscenes. The game takes heavy inspiration from the cult classic Postal 2, borrowing things such as the iconic user interface, but also including twisted versions of the many enemies and factions the Dude meets in that game, including characters such as members of the marching band or the gimps. However, the game doesn't shy away from influences from the infamously controversial first installment of the series, Postal. Many characters ressemble the demons from the loading screens. Another clever reference to the first game is, well, [spoiler] the presence of the demon from Postal 1 himself, with Rick Hunter being his voice actor [/spoiler], which is a cool nod to those who played the first game. The gun play feels great and fluid, with every weapon being useful to at least some degree, with no early weapons suffering a power creep later on in the game (maybe aside for the shovel). The parkour elements and the occasional puzzles never overstay their welcome and do not influence the game negatively. What has to be mentioned, is that the game is expertly balanced. I played on normal difficulty, and I never felt underpowered or overpowered. Even in the last levels, the enemies still pose a threat and have to be respected. You can't jump in the crowd with a bunch of health pipes and expect to survive, making tactial thinking a must in the game. The boss fights are challenging, and beating them always takes a few tries, but I never felt frustrated, or like the game was not treating me fair. Not everyone is as positive as me when it comes to the comedy and jokes in the game, but I'm very fond of them. The iconic one-liners the Dude is known for make a return, with a bunch of them being completely new. What is definitely a negative however, is the overdependency on modern memes, which makes the game age extremely fast, and some jokes feel more cringe than funny. The majority of them are very funny despite the odds, and I like how they adapted the game into a more modern setting, making dude face furries and cosplayers during a Comic-Con in one of the missions. The game is also filled with a great amount of references to other media, like Star Wars, Evangelion, Gundam, Lord of the Rings and Alien among others, which are a treat. The music definitely deserves praise as well. The tracks feel energetic when they want to, and more atmospheric whenever the game feels like it should. My favourite tracks are definitely the great ambient track from the "Finding a Cure" mission, as well as the anime opening from the final chapter. The game has little to no story, but a I feel like a game like this does not need one. Postal has always been about the gameplay and comedy, and this game is no different. Though what's there in the story department is solid. I especially like the feature of Dude losing his entire equipment at the beginning of a new act, of which there are three. It really forces you to adapt and use weapons you wouldn't even consider in a given scenario, making the game feel unique and fresh. I really love this game. It's a fun spin-off, and I will definitely play the DLC when it comes out. The only thing I wanna add is that I hope the devs fix the geometry of some areas, where nowadays you can easily fall victim to an unexpected softlock, as well as the sometimes inconsitant auto-checkpoints, which are way more common in some levels than in others. Play POSTAL Brain Damaged! It's definitely a treat for every Postal fan!

This is easily my favorite of the Postal series, all the madcap insanity with a game that actually feels like it went through QA properly.

I really love the theme of this game, and it's something that I wouldn't even call my usual style of gameplay. Very satisfying and somewhat cozy to play! Wish the game had even more content in some way - that being said, you can expect a DLC to drop for this game quite soon B)

Extremely well done boomer shooter. Great weapons, creative enemy designs, amazing movement and overall really good level design. Highly recommend this one. Hope Hyperstrange keeps doing more games like this down the road.

mmmm slide jump and chain shotgun make brain happy, the jokes are awful and poop enemies always make me sigh in any game but the gameplay is just so fucking good

Where this game falls in an incomplete "Boomer Shooter" hierachy Dusk Ion Fury Cultic Postal Brain Damaged HROT Warhammer 40k Boltgun Bears in Space Amid Evil Ill Will Zortch Selaco Dread Templar etc., Brain Damaged is one of the better Boomer Shooters, in a genre that's loaded with good titles. Exceptionally good level design, fun weapons, impactful sounds, interesting enemies, decent soundtrack, unique art/graphics, and most importantly; excellent gameplay.

Actually fun and challenging at times. The level design is awesome and the weapons are all unique that changes the way anyone can play the game. The enemies are also silly with some of them being actually useful to you (such as the flying fat guys being a useful tool with the shotgun grapple gun).

I so wanna give this game a good review because I played the demo and it was heeps of fun but the full game has a none stop crashing problem every time i play, runs fine for a while (like 10-15 mins if i'm lucky) at a soled 90-120 fps but then it'll just crash on me. same issue whether i run it off my SSD or HDD.

It's no longer a sim shooter but a nu-doom clone. It's still pretty fun to play and has plenty of laughs.

A POSTAL game through and through. It understands the formula perfectly while keeping things fresh. You can still pee, you have the classic HUD, the level design and the crazy weapons that you can expect from a Postal game. Hugely recommended.

peak game it lacks some performance but still good and reminds me of doom eternal

As much as I adore Postal 2, I think this game takes the cake for being the best in the franchise (at least for me personally), I wasn't expecting for it to be as well made as it is, and the music is top notch (so much so, that I fully plan on buying the vinyl as soon as I am able to). Everything is super fluid, from the movement to the animation to how the game runs, even the animated cut scenes themselves. The gameplay is super fun, I was already a big fan of boomer shooter games, so that coupled with Postals humor and themes and art style is just a match made in heaven. The weapons are great and are super fun to use, I especially am fond of the nailgun and the shotgun. The level designs are great too, love that they added secrets for you to find to make it worth scouring every inch of the maps since I do that with any game anyways. Every single enemy design is amazing too, really was not expecting the goliath when I first saw it and it scared the hell out of me when the thing lunged towards me. I'm only two hours in as of writing this, and so far the only two things I can even find to complain about is 1. Sometimes the music doesn't cut in when it is supposed to (I was midway through a big fight and only then did it finally amp up the music but by then the fight was practically over, and it's done this a few times or just has straight up stopped mid fight). And 2. I somehow managed to fall outside of the map on level 2 when I killed one of the prisoners and its body model pushed me through the wall somehow, I have no clue. Also a bit of a nitpick, as much as I love Postal humor, I feel like this one could have some hit or miss moments, kinda made me wince and cringe, maybe that was intended, probably, just sorta feels like they tried their utmost to be funny at all times which in turn made some of the jokes eye-roll inducing. Actually sorry now that I think about it, I wish they'd throw more enemies at you. Originally I was playing on the standard difficulty but I felt like I was just mowing through everything so I bumped it up to hard, and the enemies do hit much harder but I feel that they die just way too quickly and you can clear the big fights fairly quickly with just the machine gun. Someone else had mentioned that the game gives too much ammunition to you and I have to agree, you have your full arsenal with you at all times basically which allows you to just demolish everything in sight. Other than that, great game, better than I expected, I will likely come back to this game after beating it so that I can get all of the achievements and 100% it. I regret nothing.

Suprisingly competent shooter, the worst thing I can say about the game is it's from the postal franchise - but it is the best in the series.

postal 2 + doom eternal = cocky go boing boing :D cok hard?????? this game help it i think cows were placed on earth on jesus christmas day

just kind of bland for me, I didn't get extremely far but I didn't want to run out of time to refund.

The gunplay is fun but I couldn't really get into it because it was so bizarre. To explain, I love Postal 2 so much. The juxtaposition between "just your random asshole trying to buy milk" turning into a showdown with all the cops and more was just amazing. Postal Brain Damaged just throws that away and makes it outright crazy, with flying obese people throwing weaponized cheeseburgers at you and rabid karens screaming at you. In addition, the graphics are only marginally better than Postal 2. If you're thinking "hey I want Postal 2 but I want better graphics," this game probably won't scratch that itch. There's a Kickstarter for a ground-up remaster of Postal 2 tho, probably best to just wait for that. The game is kinda fun but in a really weird jarring way. I'd recommend getting it on sale for $5

Should remove postal from the title and keep the rest & distribute t-shirts and badges with the resulting title to anyone involved with making or endorsing this garbage. [u]Worst zoomer shooter i have played so far[/u], you almost outdid [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198120022872/recommended/1684930]cultic [/url], it is difficult to tell which one is worse, but it's funny both games are from poland among other despicable unfun garbage such as cyberpunk, terminator resistance, ancestors legacy, hatred. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQTq07gihqg No impressive weapons. One of the worst and unsatisfying shotguns in a shooter EVER. How can u fuck up a classic weapon so badly? And they give to it an attachment that allows you to shoot hooks at enemies and fly towards them, it should be a fun idea but they manage to fuck that up as well; still this will be your main weapon of choice because of the mobility it provides and because the other weapons are likewise dull. The default melee weapon is a chainsaw-shovel and nothing cool is done with it at all, it is practically a foam sword. Default bad level design, crappy music, stupid "secrets", boring useless items, improperly designed encounters and flow of combat. The functionality of guns akimbo in this game is extremely trash and undermines the player in many situations. But what stands out in this game is the "humour". It is morbidly amusing that the ppl behind this game are adults probably in their 30s already you'd think but the "jokes" and "easter eggs" and rest of the "humour" gives very strange impressions, it is garbage like Rick and Morty but even worse. Just how ? And half of it is about making fun of trump maga stuff & white people , which is fine but you just know they wouldn't dare make fun of "others", then a majority of it is dedicated to making fun of "conspiracy theorists" , [u]the developer has a special trauma in regards to people not taking covid vaccines or not trusting bill gates[/u]; at some point in the creature roster for the creature "Clown Elemental" the developer provides a description that boils down to them bragging about their "creativity" by saying how crazy a person must be to come up with something like that... At some point the game makes a joke about Flat Earth, which is the most typical brain-washed reddit thing you could do, so this game serves to reinforce these specific ideas in unwitting peoples minds. In this game the postal dude also goes around saying stuff like "Ok boomer" - I am genuinely surprised they did not make him preach about standing with ukraine or lgbt rights, i think there is a missed opportunity here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3502628739 Really shows how barren these minds are, or maybe not barren just packed to the brim with toxic trash. Is it the Rick and Morty influence, in combination with being a hylic, or what? A lot of the enemies are thematically "lolrandom" and the intention here is clear - it's for the developer to be able to tell people "Look, we're making fun of everyone equally!" [u]Anyway this game is like if the combination of a really unfunny Serious Sam 2 & a worse ZOOM Eternal was intended to be a digital "bluepill manifesto" [/u]. Not recommended, boring garbage. I uploaded a few screenshots of the first level and it's all there is to see in this game - it begins in a fun cartoon suburbia and quickly devolves into repetitive trash with tunnels, buttons, keys, levers and unfun arenas. The game has some decent 3D designs and they were worked on by the guy who made Blood West, which is an OK game, but it is obvious some time later he was told what kind of lame characters to design

This game isn't very good, probably good for a "babies first quake" with all the weapons people like from the newer dooms. My main draw back is the writing and humor. This game is a reddit atheist's version of edgy, nothing is funny even slightly, and the dude's performance is utterly slept through so that really doesn't "sell" the shitty one liners either. This wouldn't be a big deal in any other franchise, but this is postal. The series claim to fame is postal 2, which is a hot pile of garbage, BUT it's a funny, charming, and witty hot pile of garbage. Any bits of questionable design and game jank is covered by the fact im laughing my ass off at the writing, rick hunter's delivery, the total need to offend everyone and everything. All of that is just... gone in this one. Kinda wish I watched a review of the game first before buying, granted the demo is free to download so that part is on me.

While the levels are hit or miss Postal Brain Damage is a decent shooter worth grabbing while it's on sale.

It's like if DOOM and ULTRAKILL had a child and the Postal Dude was involved too, it still maintains the essence of Postal as it allows you to explore your environment in addition to killing things like a fast-paced boomer shooter.

this was the best spinoff i ever seen still keepes some of the core postal 2 mechanicks but puts boomer shoter stuff in perfect blend imo

It's crazy how this company can make a better Postal 4 than the people who actually made Postal 4

god this game is just a dogshiit reddit meme compilation such a shame for a game with such good mechanics to be nothing but terrible culture-war nonsense and modern e-humor and absolutely nothing else

Found interest in Bommer-Shooters cause of W40k-Boltgun. Found this game, hoped it would be fun as i am a Postal Fan. Deleted it after the first chapter. Gonna play Boltgun again.

you can shoot flying disgusting fat guys eating burger with dildos. Absolute cinema

[h1]Brain-Fried Anarchy: A Postal: Brain Damaged Review[/h1] [b]Graphics & Visual Style: 8/10[/b] [i]Brain Damaged embraces its garish, old-school pixel art with unapologetic grit. The neon blood splatters, twisted character sprites, and moody lighting mesh into a deranged cyberpunk carnival. It’s rough around the edges—intentionally so—and every jagged texture feels earned in this madhouse of insanity.[/i] [b]Gunplay & Mechanics: 9/10[/b] [i]This isn’t your run‑of‑the‑mill shooter: it’s a fast‑paced, chainsaw‑sandwich of carnage. Weapons fire with satisfying punch, enemies explode into gory fragments, and the dash‑&‑slide mobility turns every corridor into a speedrun playground. It’s classic DOOM‑style mayhem filtered through Postal’s unique brand of lunacy.[/i] [b]Atmosphere & Tone: 9/10[/b] [i]Brain Damaged is pure unhinged madness. From the sludgy soundtrack to the warped NPCs, it cultivates an “I shouldn’t be laughing while this is happening” vibe. The world feels alive in its depravity—this is a bizarre carnival where decapitation is the main attraction.[/i] [b]Story & Humor: 7.5/10[/b] [i]Don’t expect Shakespeare. The plot is a thin thread of revenge and mayhem, dressed up with dark humor and jaw‑dropping set pieces. It’s entertaining filler—enough to justify your next bullet‑spray spree, but not the star of the show.[/i] [b]Level Design & Exploration: 8.5/10[/b] [i]Each stage is a twisted labyrinth of secrets, hidden weapons, and ridiculous traps. You’ll want to comb every alleyway for ammo caches and lethal easter eggs. It’s part shooter, part scavenger hunt—and you’ll tear through maps hungry for more carnage.[/i] [b]Challenge & Replayability: 8.5/10[/b] [i]Hard mode turns the game into a savage gauntlet—enemies hit harder, ammo is scarcer, and your split‑second reflexes become your only ally. Scoreboards and time challenges add competitive spice, pulling you back for better runs and nastier kills.[/i] [b]Performance & Optimization: 9/10[/b] [i]No framerate hiccups, no crashes—this indie gem runs smooth on anything from a toaster PC to a gaming rig. Brain Damaged nails its technical foundation, letting you focus on utter chaos without interruption.[/i] [b]Bugs & Stability: 9/10[/b] [i]Remarkably stable given its breakneck pace. Occasional collision quirks or clipping gibs might sneak in, but they never derail the manic flow. Kudos to the devs for a polished launch on day one.[/i] [b]Value & Price: 9/10[/b] [i]At its wallet‑friendly price, Postal: Brain Damaged delivers absurd hours of gleeful violence. You get classic shooter thrills, ridiculous scenarios, and relentless pacing without bleeding your Steam wallet dry. It’s a steal for anyone craving old‑school mayhem with a modern twist.[/i] [h1]Overview[/h1] [i]Postal: Brain Damaged isn’t for the faint of heart—or the easily offended. It’s a twisted homage to boomer shooters, amplified with dark humor, cyberpunk flair, and a relentless pace. If you’re ready to embrace pure, unfiltered madness and grind for high scores in a bloodsoaked labyrinth, this is your new cult classic.[/i] [b]Total Score: 8.8★[/b] [i]An outstanding indie shooter that balances nostalgia and novelty—play it if you dare, but know it’s not your typical walk in the park. This is Postal at its most gloriously unhinged.[/i]

Not very good gameplay, mixed with uninteresting maps and really juvenile, unfunny "humor". Avoid.

This is borderline false advertising. It doesn't play like a Postal game, it doesn't sound like a Postal game, and it doesn't have the humour of a Postal game. Sure it's edgy... but it's a different flavour of edgy, where as the previous Postal games made fun of everyone, this game instead decides to make fun of what a 15 year old would make fun of (especially furries). It's fun of it's own, but at this point, what the fuck is the point of having the Postal Dude there? Is Running With Scissors so insecure about themselves that they can't be bothered with creating new characters OUTSIDE of the Postal franchise? I love Running With Scissors and everything they stand for... but not this, this is bullshit. Even Postal 3 was better than this.

A great DOOM (Eternal) clone who knew we needed a boomer shooter of POSTAL, and this is just that, the guns are varied and fun, every enemy and level is a parody of something and the art is retro inspired with a twisted look. You'll be bunnyhopping and blasting dozens of enemys with a smile on your face. 8/10

If you enjoy boomer shooters, this game is definitely worth playing.

you play as this crazy american dude who likes shooting random women. its pretty fun but those DAMN GRANDPAS MADE ME REFUND!!

"OK BOOMBER" "Looks like I’m the one getting fucked now!" "I’m not crazy, I’m just misunderstood... like everyone else in this crazy world" "I didn’t start this fight, but I’ll finish it… and it’s going to be messy" Political correctness? Nah, it's for the weak. Being an asshole is way more fun

doom eternal but you can whip out your dick and piss forever

Amazing game 10/10. You won't regret buying this game if you like FPS.

holy fucking peak bro gave me farting addiction i just fart nonstop
