This is the first time that any game from the franchise has appeared on console.<\/p>\n<p>Said to be &#8220;more than just a remaster&#8221;, Postal Redux includes new levels and a challenging new gameplay mode called Rampage. Redux first launched on Steam back in 2016 generating &#8216;very positive&#8217; user reviews.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>With the new powerful addition of Rampage, POSTAL fans will go wild. The outrageous single-player game play mode rewards an aggressive style of play by increasing a multiplier for each consecutive kill in a streak. Players will receive a score and letter grade following the completion of each level. Rampage Mode will incentivize gamers to replay levels using different strategies to increase their score. Rampage gives gamers endless hours of fun, with its addictive and re-playable gameplay.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Postal is a series known for its controversy; back in 2004, it was <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2004\/11\/30\/nz_postal_2_ban\/\">reported<\/a> that New Zealand banned <strong>Postal 2<\/strong>, threatening fines for anyone who owned a copy, nevermind those who actually sold the thing. The controversy mostly centred around its high levels of violent gameplay.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Postal Redux Switch\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/a81dd2a3dec40\/postal-redux-switch.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/a81dd2a3dec40\/postal-redux-switch.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Postal Redux Switch\"><\/a><a title=\"Postal Redux Switch\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/d1cf6d229b05d\/postal-redux-switch.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/d1cf6d229b05d\/postal-redux-switch.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Postal Redux Switch\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Postal Redux Switch\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/394fef1e1aef6\/postal-redux-switch.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/394fef1e1aef6\/postal-redux-switch.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Postal Redux Switch\"><\/a><a title=\"Postal Redux Switch\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6377028bf04e5\/postal-redux-switch.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 445 245'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6377028bf04e5\/postal-redux-switch.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Postal Redux Switch\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The game will be available for $9.99 on the Switch eShop and will launch on 16th October.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think you&#8217;ll be giving this one a go?
