If you’re eyeing the wild, reimagined carnage of Painkiller (2025) – all blistering arena fights, infernal hordes, and deliciously over-the-top weapons. You’re probably chasing that pure boomer-shooter rush. The new take leans into high-velocity combat and stylish brutality, with a focus on momentum, crowd control, and chaining kills until the battlefield looks like a heavy-metal album cover.

Whether you’re here for the gothic vibe, the punishing enemy swarms, or just the satisfaction of turning demonic monstrosities into confetti, there’s a whole arsenal of shooters that channel the same energy. If you’ve finished carving through purgatory (or you’re waiting to dive in) and want something with equally savage speed and spectacle, here are games that capture the same spirit.
