Painkiller Hell & Damnation Server Hosting, Explained

What is Painkiller Hell & Damnation?

New to Painkiller?

What is Painkiller Hell & Damnation?

Painkiller Hell & Damnation is a modern remake of the classic shooters Painkiller and Battle Out of Hell, built on Unreal Engine 3. As Daniel Garner, you fight your way through Purgatory against over 30 kinds of demons, collecting the souls they drop until you turn into a demon yourself. There is no auto-heal and no kill-streak bonus: just fast movement, a heavy metal soundtrack and weapons like the Painkiller, the Stakegun and the Soulcatcher.

Old-School Pace.

Arena-style levels, waves of demons and weapons with a secondary fire.

PvP and PvE.

Defend against waves in Survival, or play Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.

Why rent a server?

What is Painkiller Server Hosting?

A dedicated server keeps your arena online without a player hosting it, so it does not depend on one person's PC or connection, and players can join and leave without ending the match. With us it installs itself when you order, with the name, password, game mode, map, player limits and match rules in the panel, the game's own settings in the config editor, and full file access over SFTP and SSH.

Always Online.

Your server stays up when you log off, so your group can play any time.

Full Control.

Set your mode, map, limits and match rules, and change how many souls Demon Morph takes.
