** Before Update 1.2.0, enemies used to take this a little further: they'd only ever use their guns as melee weapons. As of said update, which made major changes to the guns and added shooter features, they can now shoot with the guns.

* ChunkySalsaRule: While your enemies are often MadeOfIron, mutilation of any body part except the arms is ([[GoodBadBugs almost]]) always a guaranteed kill for them.

* GameBreakingBug: Enemies have the annoying habit of clipping into walls when they get knocked down and getting stuck there, which can potentially render the level unbeatable and force you to restart. This can be especially frustrating since this bug occurs most often in huge user-made levels with upwards of 200 enemies, and you won't realize there are missing enemies until you've already killed everyone else.

* ChunkySalsaRule: While your enemies are often MadeOfIron, decapitation of any body part except the arms is ([[GoodBadBugs almost]]) always a guaranteed kill for them.

* GunsAreWorthless: The various guns featured in the game avert this with a passion. For example, a single well-placed shotgun blast can potentially mow down a whole crowd of enemies, and is held back only by its limited ammo.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Enemies take losing limbs like they just found a hole in their favorite wifebeater; no physical pain, but definitely lots of anger. Sometimes they may be briefly stunned by an attack, but that's about it.

* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: So much as sock someone in the face and they'll splurt a ''liter'' of blood all over the place. Some of the more durable bosses will have likely shed ''gallons'' of the red stuff by the time they finally die. Suffice to say, it's hard to paint the town red without a ''lot'' of blood.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Gun-toting enemies are basically aimbots who will plug you from across the map with extreme precision no matter what they're wielding, such as an assault rifle or an 18th century flintlock pistol. If you stand still during gunfights, you ''will'' have a bad time.

* EscalatingBrawl: Taken UpToEleven. As soon as you throw the first blow, the ''entire'' area (or at least part of it is the map is huge enough) will immediately erupt into a massive, chaotic brawl, even if you started fighting in one of the backrooms or other hidden location.

** Taken UpToEleven with the Katana Boss, who can take so many hits that he'll be stripped down to the bone by the time you finally kill him.

* BoringButPractical: Running up to an enemy, kicking them to knock them over, and [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown pummeling them until they get up]] (or running away if it's a large group) is a very reliable strategy.
** The only issue with this is that the kick ''doesn't'' make bosses fall down. Nothing does. They fall down when they die, and that's it. But everyone else? Fair game.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Shockwave sends any enemies [[ContractualBossImmunity (except bosses)]] ''flying.'' However, it does no damage to any of them, unless if it causes them to hit a ceiling, fall off a tall ledge or into a death pit, and it will aggro the survivors to you.

''[[http://store.steampowered.com/app/337320/ Paint the Town Red]]'' is a BeatEmUp video game by South East Games that is best described as Voxel ''Film/RoadHouse'' as directed by Creator/QuentinTarantino. The game revolves around the player walking into various locations and gorily murdering everyone inside in a massive, brutal BarBrawl, taking out bystanders, musicians, [=DJs=] and the obligatory back room full of shady crime lords.

* GangUpOnTheHuman: Oh yes, they do.

** Further averted in the "Shooter" modifiers, as gun-toting enemies are arguably the most dangerous foes you can face aside from level bosses.

* TheMostDangerousVideoGame: To face [[spoiler:The Trickster]], you have to plug yourself into a virtual world where you have to fight through twisted versions of the Scenarios from the main game before taking [[spoiler:The Trickster himself]] on. Fittingly, dying in the virtual world kills you in-game.

* ContractucalBossImmunity: The shockwave doesn't work on bosses.
