Paint the Town Red, the first-person brawler from developer South East Games, will finally leave Early Access and release on console this July.
Paint the Town Red is a first-person brawler that has been in Early Access since 2015. In that time, it gained overwhelmingly positive reviews, with 96% of overall Steam reviews being positive. The developer, South East Games, has only worked on one other title, Probably Archery, which was released on Steam in 2014. Since Paint the Town Red launched, it has evolved quite significantly, transforming from a voxel sandbox game into a “deeply customizable action experience”. Now, the game is ready to be released from Early Access and into version 1.0. Co-founder of South East Games, Matthew Carr, spoke a little about what it is like to play Paint the Town Red. You can check out our full review here.
“Paint the Town Red’s lightning-fast, gory, and tactile combat makes it such a blast to play […] The simplistic voxel-based graphics present the game as clean and sterile at first glance, but once the fists start flying, all of the viscera and fleshy bits really add some colourful details.”

What Is Paint The Town Red?
Paint the Town Red is a first-person brawler set across vast sandbox environments. The player must utilize any of the 200 weapons, as well as their environment, to take down their opponents. There are a ton of game modes to choose from. These include a roguelike mode called Beneath and a challenge mode titled Arena. This is a game all about completely customizing your experience, which is why on PC, it supports the Steam Workshop, in which players can already download more than 8,000 items. Additionally, on PC, there is a built-in level editor for players to create their own chaotic levels.
