Each enemy type has differing amounts of health, so particular weapon selection and exploitation of cover will assist in coming out on top. Some enemies remain stationary while chucking grenades or firing heavy weapons at Dude while others will chase him down and exploit cover and other areas that they can use to hide. The hostiles you encounter will vary from muscle shirt wearing vigilantes with Molotov to police first responders to heavily armed and armored SWATs and military guards. A selection of grenades can also be used: traditional timed frag grenades, Molotov cocktails, and proximity mines. Fire weapons ignite enemies, who can spread the fire among themselves (and to you). The rocket launcher, while having slow projectiles, have the longest range and can take out multiple hostiles before they can reach you, with the bonus of having an additional homing ammo type.
The SMG, for example, while the weakest, has infinite ammo and decent range. Each weapon has different uses, range, and quirks that make one more usable than other in certain situations. The arsenal in Postal Redux comprises of a submachine gun with unlimited ammo, two different shotguns, one of which is fully automatic, a rocket launcher, a flamethrower, an incendiary projectile launcher, and new for Redux, a magnum revolver. Player and enemy models are done in 3D with a decent amount of detail and some fairly good animation to go with it.
POSTAL REDUX UPDATE
There has also been an update to the art style, where levels are hand drawn in a style that, though not exactly the greatest among HD remasters, does pleasantly remind me of Mike Judge's work from the 90's, which is fitting, considering this is a remake of a 1997 game. Gamepad controls are already set up to allow you to jump right in if you prefer to use controllers over mouse and keyboard, though going into the options menu and making sure your controls are as you prefer still wouldn't hurt. This contrasts the first control scheme, where you used WASD to move but had to press the arrow keys in the direction you wished to shoot at. The control scheme is brought up to modern standards with a simple WASD movement system and mouse aim, where Dude will fire towards the direction of the cursor. It's a fire sale! Everything must go - to hell! In fact, clearing the area will allow you to collect additional ammo, grenades, and perhaps even a weapon or two that you can take with you to the next level.
POSTAL REDUX FULL
By eliminating 90% of the hostiles in an area, you can continue to the next level, though nothing is stopping you from performing a full sweep and cleaning the entire level out of anything living. Your objective, however, is primarily dealing with the first three of the previous list. Postal Redux returns to the eponymous Postal Dude's first incarnation, as a psychotic individual out on a rampage to cleanse "evil" from the face of the Earth, shooting figures of civil authority, the military, vigilantes, civilians, and even the occasional ostrich.
