Paint the Town Red

Paint the Town Red Jump into first-person melee mayhem in taverns and dance halls. Use fists or improvised weapons, dodge attacks, and fight for rewards. Choose classes, upgrade skills, and build/share custom scenes with the level editor.

Paint the Town Red

Paint the Town Red is a first-person action brawler where you throw yourself into brutal fights against other players across a variety of locations—like taverns and dance halls. In every scene, enemies arrive with different weapons, so you’ll need to use a mix of skills and gear while continuously dodging incoming strikes to come out on top and earn rewards.

The game includes multiple character classes, each with upgradeable class skills and weapons to increase your fighting power. There’s also a built-in level editor that lets you design new scenes, weapons, classes, and more—then publish your creations to the community so others can like and comment on them.

Key Features

Close-Range Melee Combat

At its core, Paint the Town Red is built around quick punches, kicks, and slashes in tight spaces. You’re encouraged to stay mobile, watch for openings, and disengage when enemies start to swarm. Every hit registers clearly on contact, giving you immediate feedback so you can adjust your timing—pushing forward when it’s safe, backing off when the crowd closes in.

Destructible Voxel Damage

Each blow leaves a visible mark using voxel-based damage, with cuts, broken parts, and dismemberment showing up where the attack lands. Because the effects appear directly at the impact point, you can easily read what’s happening during chaotic fights—helping you make quick decisions without slowing down the action.

Improvised Weapons From the Environment

Look around: you can pick up nearby objects that aren’t fixed in place and use them as improvised tools. Swing them to create space, or throw them to stop a rushing enemy. Switching naturally between bare fists and found items helps you adapt your tactics as the situation changes.

Fights Across Different Places and Time Periods

Levels take place across different locations and eras, meaning the layout directly influences how each encounter plays out. Small, cramped areas reward fast bursts of aggression, while wider spaces let you reposition, maneuver, and attack from angles. After installing Paint the Town Red, test how your device runs it, since performance can vary depending on hardware.

Player Feedback

“If you look past the rougher roguelike sections and the arenas, there’s a genuinely great first-person beat ’em up hiding in here. The developers probably should have focused more on the main stages where the sandbox style really shines instead of adding VR or extra modes that most players won’t stick with.”

“I watched Captain Sauce when I was younger and always wanted to play this. After years of waiting, I can say it was absolutely worth it. It’s tough, but if you learn the mechanics, it’s incredibly fun—10/10.”

“It’s pretty buggy and glitchy in VR, but it’s still a lot of fun. I mainly play it in VR. The controls can feel awkward and the pace is a bit slow, but it’s ridiculously entertaining. If you can, I’d recommend the VR DLC—it’s pricey, but in my opinion it’s worth it. And don’t even get me started on Workshop levels…”

“Great game and tons of nostalgia, but eventually you may get bored after clearing every level multiple times. When that happens, check the Workshop for community-made maps—some are excellent, and some are less so, but it’s worth exploring.”

“Surprisingly good optimization too. I managed to run it on a low-end Celeron device with around 4GB of RAM, though it wasn’t ideal. With a better system now, it runs smoothly and looks great on higher settings. The Workshop content is fantastic—especially Ocean Man’s creations. If you enjoy voxel-style destruction and challenging gameplay, you’ll probably have a great time.”

In scenario levels, you’ll need quick thinking, speed, and whatever you can grab to turn fights into full-on bar brawls. Whether it’s the Disco Dance Hall battle, the older Western tavern fights, or any other stage, your success depends on reading the room and making smart, fast moves.
