One is vanilla Brutal DOOM v20b, so no having to leave the game and load that mod when you want to play it, and the other is Traditional Mode. The mod also has two alternate ways to play the game outside of the customization options. What I got was every top-tier enemy taking over for placed enemies and them using their best attacks all the time. Granted, I don’t play with anything besides the default settings, but on a whim, I tried playing on Brutal difficulty with Death Wish under Global Settings > Spawn Presets active. How everything from enemy/weapon variants to spawns can be turned on and off at will. wads I’ve tried because of how atmospheric and well made the levels are.) The gore and animations were just as fun, and horrifying, as those from Brutal DOOM, but what sold me was the customization. (It’s a personal favorite among the many.

My first experience with this mod was in 2016, when I was testing a number of gameplay mods with the Hellbound megawad.

Not one as good as Arnold or Stallone, but a good one in itself. Doomguy also gains a personality, sounding like a bloodthirsty maniac most of the time, with just a hint of 80’s action hero. Brutal DOOM at the heart, it adds new weapons, enemy types/attacks, and gameplay and progression options. While Brutal DOOM does get the most attention in terms of DOOM mods lately, it being the very mod that pulled me back into playing DOOM several years ago with the 0.17 version, the mod projects that have sprung up thanks to its popularity have given me a lot more hours of fun when compared to the original mod.Ĭhief among them, and my personal favorite, is Project Brutality, a mod designed by one nicknamed pa1nki113r.
