Paint the Town Red, developed by South East Games, is a first-person melee combat game blending voxel-based destruction with diverse gameplay scenarios. Its standout feature is the rogue-lite campaign, Beneath, where players battle ancient evils, unlock upgrades, and face terrifying monsters across procedurally generated levels. The game also includes a robust Level Editor with Steam Workshop integration, supporting thousands of player-created stages.

Scenario-Based Melee Combat

Paint the Town Red offers multiple hand-crafted scenarios like a biker bar, disco, prison, pirate cove, and western saloon. Each location features unique enemies and weapons, all interacting dynamically with voxel-based destruction. Players can use melee strikes, thrown objects, and period-appropriate weapons to overcome chaotic brawls.

Beneath Rogue-Lite Campaign

Beneath is a major rogue-lite mode where players choose from distinct classes with unique abilities and stats. Progression unlocks upgrades as players delve into subterranean environments filled with secrets, bosses, and deadly creatures. This mode emphasizes strategic combat and long-term progression.

Level Editor and Community Content

The in-game Level Editor allows players to create custom levels with support for unique textures and music. Thousands of community-made levels are available via Steam Workshop, ranging from puzzle challenges to large-scale brawls. Developers continue to expand editor features based on community feedback.

Multiplayer and Additional Modes

Paint the Town Red supports online co-op for most modes, including scenarios, Beneath, and survival-based Endless Mode. Competitive players can aim for leaderboard dominance, while casual players can experiment with weapons and mechanics in the sandbox mode.
