[quote by=”Thomas Reisinger, Key Account Manager Online Sales at Nordic Games”]This is a great promotion that will give those who have not had a taste of Painkiller a good taste of all the fast paced gory action. Demon slayers can slash their way through to a great discount that is great value for money.[/quote]
The multiplayer weekend will allow players to jump in and experience all the multiplayer action from the main game including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Survival. Weekend bargain hunters will also be able to experience the entire first chapter of the single player campaign.
Painkiller Hell & Damnation was released for PC on October 31st 2012. The campaign features an all-action crusade that can be played in single player mode and co-operative mode across four chapters, and several multiplayer-modes. A vast array of demons and fiends will be encountered along the way.
The free multiplayer weekend is underway and ends at 9pm GMT on Sunday 3rd of February.
You can check out EF’s Painkiller Hell & Damnation review  to see what we thought of the game. A big complaint we had was the lack of opponents in multiplayer at launch so this weekend could be the perfect opportunity to check it out. If you’re still unsure you can download Painkiller Hell & Damnation multiplayer trial on Steam.
