Owns the unique distinction of being ''''THE MOST METAL GAME EVER''' this side of ''[[Brutal Legend|Brütal Legend]]'' (which was, after all, explicitly ''about'' metal).
Apart from the original game, People Can Fly also developed an expansion pack, ''Battle out of Hell'', made up mostly of [[What Could Have Been|content that was]] [[Dummied Out]] or otherwise scrapped for the original game. It shows, as most players consider the expansion to be a bit of a mixed bag that doesn't quite reach the level of the original game. Since then, the game's publishers have released other standalone expansions developed by fan modders, starting with ''Painkiller: Overdose'' in 2007 (developed by Mindware Studios from the Czech Republic), and following up with ''Painkiller: Resurrection'' in 2009 (by Homegrown Games) and ''Painkiller: Redemption'' in 2011 (by Team EggTooth). [[Running the Asylum|Par for the course, none of them are particularly good.]] ''[[Painkiller: Resurrection]] is an expansion pack for the game.
The game was remade in 2012 as ''[[Painkiller: Hell & Damnation]]''.
Not in any way related to [[Painkiller Jane|a series of media featuring virtually immortal, ass-kicking Action Girls.]] Or [[Judas Priest]]. Though being related to [[Judas Priest]] would be the one and only way to make the game any more metal than it already is.
A [[Spiritual Successor]] to this game, named ''[[Bulletstorm]]'', is now available.

* [[Abnormal Ammo]] - Roughly every single weapon has you firing something that could arch a few eyebrows. Demon fetuses, stakes, the screams of a severed demon head...
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]] - The "Air Combat" level from Overdose takes place on one such vessel in what appears to be an alternate version of [[World War
* [[Anticlimax Boss]] - Once you realize what you're supposed to do to kill him, Lucifer turns out to be a pathetically easy [[Puzzle Boss]] who can be killed in just a few seconds.
** [[Glass Cannon]]: Despite being killable in just a few seconds with just 2 shots, Lucifer's attacks do massive damage and he can kill you in just a couple hits if you don't know what you're supposed to do to harm him.

** Also The Painkiller can shoot its blade out at an enemy, go through multiple enemies, and return to the user. It does a decent amount of damage if you are willing to wait for it to return to you.
** ''Overdose'' features several weapons that lifted directly from the original game, reskinned, and usually nerfed. However, its original weapons are... interesting. Most notably, a radioactive waste spewing wheel-lock pistol/flamethrower
* [[Standard Sci
* [[Standard Status Effects]] - Some enemies can make the character slower, poison him or make unable to fire weapons.
* [[The Starscream]] - {{spoiler|Turns out Alastor's not really that upset you killed Lucifer. In fact, he was on his way to kill the old man himself for being such a boneheaded leader. Also Eve, who only wanted you to kill Alastor to take his powers and become the Ruler of Hell.}}
