Paint the Town Red (v1.3.4 & VR DLC)

Every punch lands with the messy, block-by-block violence of a cartoon bar fight that has completely lost control. Paint the Town Red is a first-person melee brawler built around improvised weapons, destructible voxel characters, and arenas where a minor argument can become a room-clearing riot. Its scenarios jump between a biker bar, nightclub, prison, pirate cove, and other themed locations, each packed with period-appropriate tools for causing chaos. The tone is gleefully ridiculous rather than grim, but the action remains fast enough that careless players can be overwhelmed in seconds.

Fights revolve around reading the crowd, moving constantly, and grabbing whatever is within reach: bottles, chairs, knives, pool cues, frying pans, and plenty more. Enemies react dynamically as their voxel bodies take damage, allowing combatants to be punched, kicked, stabbed, disarmed, or literally carved apart, while environmental objects turn nearly every room into an arsenal. Levels reward smart positioning as much as aggression; bottlenecks, elevated spots, throwable objects, and health-restoring food can make the difference when a whole venue turns hostile. Beyond the set stages, Arena mode supplies escalating challenges and boss encounters, while Sandbox lets players experiment with weapons and physics without the pressure of survival.

The key appeal is how tactile and unpredictable every brawl feels: a well-aimed bottle throw can save a run, while one reckless charge can leave the player buried under angry patrons. Its intentionally chunky visual style keeps the extreme violence playful and readable, closer to a slapstick take on Chivalry’s melee chaos than a realistic fighting simulation. A level editor and extensive Workshop support add substantial longevity, with community-made maps offering everything from focused combat trials to absurd novelty scenarios. Anyone wanting technical duels may prefer a deeper melee system, but players who enjoy physics-driven mayhem, frantic first-person action, and endlessly replayable crowd fights find plenty to love here.
