Evaluation

POSTAL: Brain Damaged launched on June 9, 2022 as a complete boomer-shooter experience. Post-launch, the developer Hyperstrange delivered a free Horde Mode update on November 10, 2022 to celebrate the POSTAL series' 25th anniversary, adding three survival arenas. The game's first paid DLC, "These Sunny Daze," was revealed on June 5, 2025, announced with a release date on August 14, 2025, and launched on September 9, 2025. It adds a new story chapter, five new weapons, fresh enemies, and new gameplay systems. Following launch, Hyperstrange issued a weapons balance patch on September 15, 2025, a hotfix on September 18, 2025, a content update adding a new Survival Mode map and other improvements on November 5, 2025, and a second performance optimization patch on December 16, 2025 — wrapping up the two-stage performance improvement plan the team had publicly committed to. All three DLC items listed on the store are released: the soundtrack (June 17, 2022), the art book (June 9, 2022), and These Sunny Daze (September 9, 2025). No unreleased DLC is listed. The developer has not announced any additional content beyond These Sunny Daze, and the December 16, 2025 patch explicitly completed the optimization plan that was the last outstanding post-DLC commitment. There have been no developer communications after December 16, 2025, and no roadmap or future content has been signaled. The game appears to have reached its content endpoint with the conclusion of These Sunny Daze's post-launch support in December 2025.

About this game

Get ready to experience POSTAL from a brand-new perspective!

This boomer-shooter spin-off of the fan-beloved Running With Scissors’ franchise will take you further down the rabbit hole than any previous game of the series. You’re not in Paradise anymore, and things are about to get weird, as POSTAL: Brain Damaged happens within the twisted psyche of the POSTAL DUDE, himself! Yes, a whole new, retro-modern, action-oriented, skill-based approach to POSTAL. "Did HYPERSTRANGE pull it off" - you might ask. Oh, yes. It seems we did:



Wild setting? Even wilder gameplay! While staying true to POSTAL’S trademark tone and humor the game plays very different to all the previous titles in the series. What you get is fast, challenging, and full of varied, meticulously designed enemies and environments. If you’re surfing the tidal wave of throwback shooters or enjoyed the latest installment of that game where you single-handily take on the forces of Hell invading Earth, you will feel right at home (even more so if your home smells really bad).

Make sure your body is ready to:
  • Explore an all-new, hand-crafted world full of surprises
  • Experience the challenging, fast-paced gameplay with quake-like movement and outrageous level design
  • Take a trip through the rich, twisted, ever-changing environments of POSTAL DUDE’S deranged mind
  • Shoot a variety of insane guns at some of the freakiest enemies to ever grace computer screens
  • Follow the all-original story line making the POSTAL-VERSE continuity even more effed-up than it was
  • Hear Corey Cruise returning as the POSTAL DUDE, with guest appearances from other fan-beloved voices
  • Enjoy the POSTAL series trademark dark, crude humor and glorification of fantasy violence

It’s a mad game for the mad times, kids! From the studio that brought you ELDERBORN and Blood West, comes the first-person shooter you didn't know you need in your life - POSTAL: Brain Damaged.
