Plot

The player takes the role of Belial, a half-angel, half-demon gatekeeper and son of angel Samael. He was rejected by both hell and heaven, and as a result, Sammael and Cerberus imprisoned him. When Daniel Garner defeats Lucifer in Painkiller, Belial escapes his prison and starts to seek revenge.

Reception

Painkiller: Overdose received mixed reviews from critics.[1][2][3] Reviews of Overdose were more positive than reviews of other expansions (with the exception of Battle out of Hell).[4] It was criticised for lack of innovation and slow loads but praised for gameplay that is the same as in original game.[5][6]

Sequels

Belial, the playable protagonist of Overdose, reappeared in all later expansions and sequels. In Painkiller: Redemption Belial was one of two playable characters. Redemption was developed by Eggtooth Team and released in 2011.[7] Belial also briefly appeared in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation which serves as a remake and sequel to original Painkiller.
