In 1993, DOOM came out and caught everyone by surprise. Its fast paced, ultra violent gameplay combined with its dark atmosphere and pumping heavy metal soundtrack made this game an all-time classic.

Now, Brütal DOOM takes everything you know and love about DOOM and puts it on steroids. It's bloodier, faster, harder and, I can't believe I can say this... better!

I'm not kidding, Brütal DOOM makes the vanilla DOOM slow and dated by comparison. Let's start with the weapons. In DOOM, you start with a petty pistol and your fists, both quickly become useless once you have the shotgun or the plasma rifle. In BD, however, every weapon remains useful throughout the game. Your fits, for example, punch much faster and you can even perform a devastating combo. Your pistol is replaced by an assault rifle with high firing rate and accuracy. The chaingun now fires extremely fast and can literally shoot your enemies to pieces.

Although your arsenal is improved, the enemies have become much more dangerous. Remember the former humans, those losers who shoot so poorly that it makes you laugh out loud? Well, you won't laugh anymore because they now shoot relentlessly. That's right, every monster in DOOM has received new abilities and is faster, deadlier and more intimidating than ever.

Last but not least, I want to talk about the one thing that this mod is best known for. Its violence. Brütal DOOM is so violent that it makes the original version look like a Looney Tunes cartoon. When you shoot any enemy, blood splatters everywhere and stays there for a long time. Limbs and heads can be shot off and kicked around, the chainsaw can cut enemies in two, the plasma rifle turns everything in a pile of ash and bones and the BFG... well, find that out for yourself. Finally, once you get the Berserk Pack, things get really nasty because you can perform fatalities, just like in Mortal Kombat.

You know, I can go on and on talking about BD but really, download this mod now!
