Turok 2 Ascension is yet another overhaul mod by myself for a classic game from my past recreated by the awesome dev team Nightdive Studios. Turok 2 was the first game I had ever played that I bought with my own money and so I was very critical of it at that time. I loved the game to death, but every flaw I saw in it I griped about it. So now, decades later I have taken it upon myself to try and make it even better than it already was. From crazier weapon abilities to more blood and gore to a nice HD/Upscaled Texture and Skin Pack to an increase in enemy numbers this mod aims to help Turok 2 ascend to a whole new level.
Nice mod
This Mod is just ******* great.
Once you play this, you'll never go back to vanilla Turok 2.
That's how good this is.
I installed this mod after beating Turok Hardcore and getting all secrets. I love this mod so much but what irritates me are the possessed soldiers cuz their weapons are hit scan. You didn't encounter hit scanning enemies until the end of the Vanilla campaign. If there was an option to remove the possessed soldiers, that would be great. I'm playing on normal as of posting this article but I don't see how one could beat them on the higher difficulties especially because they move in packs. But still, great mod overall! If I had to give it a score, it would be 9 out of 10. Seems fair. Totally recommend!
Pretty decent overall i love the gore and the weapon revamps. There are a ton of balancing issues however and the voice clips that play during game play when Turok is killing things ....yeh no they are pretty terrible.
Also the new soldier enemies while a good idea are annoying as **** and are often placed so you have no choice but to get damaged by them. So pretty good but needs some work.
TLDR: Definitely THE BEST Turok 2 mod in existence. I recommend!
Long and detailed version:
*GAMEPLAY: completely changed because of the new weapon options and new enemies/new AI. VERY FRESH! Now its definitely "how it should have been", as in oldschool 90s fast-paced-action-shooter.
PS: the double-jump function DOES NOT break game and immersion (the areas which are inaccessible remain the same).
PPS: dash can take a few hours to get used to, but once you do, all is good.
*DIFFICULTY: although it would seem that the weapons are OP - you can still die very easy and very fast. Do not let your guard down.
*SOUNDS: the character taunts can be annoying but i removed them myself. Besides those: the sounds are actually worth it (no major changes but good tweaking that make the game even more enjoyable!).
*Textures: YES!
*CONCLUSION: it's clear that this mod has seen HARD WORK and dedication. Thank you for this upload!
No way to get better. Love the work on this mod. After you play it first time you will never want to play with out again.
This mod does an excellent job at breathing new life into Turok 2's combat, making it faster paced and more brutal. However there are some questionable inclusions, such as overly sharpened textures and Turok's new incredibly cringey voice acting.
This mod aims to help Turok 2 ascend to a whole new level.
And in that regard, it greatly succeeded! ^-^
All the features included here should've been part of this game from the beginning. Awesome work!
The standard to which all other turok 2 gameplay mods will be judged. I don't know about others, but it does everything I've wanted this game to do since I first got it for christmas 98'.
