Postal III
Postal III is a third-person shooter video game developed by Trashmasters and Running with Scissors, and published by Akella. It is the third installment in the Postal franchise and was released for Microsoft Windows in December 2011. Ports for OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were announced, but ultimately canceled.
The game follows series protagonist The Postal Dude who, after leaving Paradise in the previous entry's Apocalypse Weekend expansion pack, finds himself in the town of Catharsis, Arizona after running out of gas, and must find a way to escape.
Postal III was a critical and commercial failure. Following backlash from critics and fans, Running with Scissors declared the game a spin-off and retconned it as non-canonical. Akella entered bankruptcy and ceased operations in 2012.
Postal III features a third-person, over-the-shoulder perspective, unlike Postal and its sequel, which featured a isometric and first-person perspective, respectively. The gameplay is much more linear and mission based, also unlike Postal 2, though an open-world game mode was later added in an update. The player, taking the role of The Postal Dude, uses various firearms and melee weapons to defeat enemies, with the option to attack them either lethally or non-lethally. The player is also able to use cats they find throughout the environment of the game as silencers for their weapons, players can also combine cats with hand grenades and load them into their rocket launcher.
The game features a karma system. The player can either use lethal forces on enemies, and obtain negative Karma, or non-lethal force and obtain good karma. The karma meter is displayed as an icon on the player's HUD, during the first five missions this icon is disabled. The karma system allows for different paths through the game's story, if the player uses excessive violence then the "good" path is unavailable for them.
Postal III continues the trend set by Postal 2 allowing the player to urinate as a non-lethal attack against enemies, this can also be used to extinguish the player if they are on fire. Other non-lethal weapons the player has access to include a taser and pepper spray.
Postal III includes performances by a wide array of minor celebrities, including Ron Jeremy, Jennifer Walcott, and Randy Jones. The game also contains characters depicting Uwe Boll (director of the 2007 Postal film), Sergei Mavrodi, Osama bin Laden and Hugo Chávez.
In Postal III, the Postal Dude emigrates to Paradise, Arizona's sister town of Catharsis after he destroyed Paradise with a nuclear bomb. Due to the 2008 financial crisis, the Dude drives into town and becomes stranded because he can not afford a tank of gas. He must then find work and do various odd jobs to escape the town.
