Hard Doom is a replacement/enhancement mod that replaces all monsters in Doom 2 with versions that are similar in role, but more dangerous. In general, Hard Doom is geared towards players who want a more difficult, genuine survival experience, and it has a variety of visual effects that are more subtle and don't block your view of the action. Over the years since its initial release, it has been meticulously balanced and rebalanced, with new features and effects added to make this a great mod to play through the popular megawads with, without changing Doom's flavor or core gameplay. This mod requires ZDoom, GZDoom, or Zandronum in order to play!

Hard Doom v8.3.1


v8.3.1 Change List

  1. Fixed a typo in the Minigunner's XDeath state. This should fix the bug where he can't drop a Minigun when gibbed.
  2. Fixed the missing bullet decals on the Nazi Officer.
  3. Made bullet casings fade out when fully submerged in water.
  4. Adjusted the torch effect so it should always render when in view and never render when not in view.
  5. Fixed fast monster support. Now enemies melee is fast and Demon's movement is fast

Sorry but both Hard Doom and Project Brutality are gameplay mods and aren't not compatible. You probably already know this, but if you want the Hard Doom experience applied to PB, set the monster spawns to Tier III or IV, or Deathwish:)

watched some gameplay videos of this mod, sounds interesting

looks like a lot of tweaking, play-testing and re-balancing have been done

will give this mod a shot

Can you release the monsters as a standalone mod? I would love to play this with another weapons pack.

I know this is a bit late but there is a "Lite" version of the mod on the ZDoom and Zandronum threads for the mod. The lite version is just enemies nothing else for maximum compatibility with other mods.
