Iron Angel of the Apocalypse: The Return vs Painkiller: Redemption

After the showdown with the Scientist and the Android, Tetsujin finds himself disembodied. A mysterious corporation, SCR, gives him a new body, but their motives remain hidden. The sequel keeps the first‑person shooter core while upgrading the graphics engine for a much faster pace. Unlike the original’s mix of live actors and CG, this game uses computer‑generated imagery for all characters, delivering a fully digital experience.

Painkiller – Redemption continues the story of Daniel and Belial as they join forces for the first time to end the bloody conflict between heaven and hell. Discover all new maps, fight off thousands of demonic fiends, and lose yourself in intense gameplay backed by a heavy metal soundtrack. Bringing the franchise back to its roots, this installment offers breathtaking action, massive hordes of monsters, and exotic weapons. Unlock tactical Tarot Cards as you reach objectives and collect souls of fallen enemies to temporarily transform into a mighty demon.
