Far superior to the Bethesda Steam release of Doom 64, the definitive way to play the game. Take it from me, I played the og Doom 64 at release, this is the best version available.

This is a really impressive mod. Stacked with features and options to tailor your experience, and cool elements return like the demon runes and environmental assets that were removed.

The arsenal is fantastic with weapons that not only have been redesigned to look insanely cool, but are great fun, punchy, and full of awesome secondary and tertiary fire modes. It's a balanced collection with each gun being suited to different situations. Multiple grenade types are a very cool edition as well, allowing you to really mix things up.

The mod also supports a lot of great wads with enhancements on the levels with lighting and textures etc. As well as all the official iwad maps.

As much as I love BD21, this is just a better experience in many ways. It retains everything that made that mod so good, whilst adding oh so much more, and it's extraordinarily polished. It's slick, it's fun, it's addictive, it's brutal af.... It's goddamn glorious.

Imho THE definitive Brutal Doom derivative mod around right now.

10/10

Lovingly crafted by people who are not only obviously very talented modders, but people who are clearly massive fans of the Alien franchise.

Dripping with authenticity, small details like authentic movie sounds, really cool features like sentry turrets you can place and interactive environment features, and the game is actually scary too!

The sound design especially is wonderful, the guns sound better than in any AVP game, and the ambient sound design had my skin crawling to the point I felt nauseous at times. The xenomorphs cries and screeches will make your stomach knot and your hair stand on end when you understand the threat of what is coming.

Level design and lighting is fantastic, really pushing the GZdoom engine hard, and creating a truly oppressive atmosphere.

I played as colonist first on hordes of aliens difficulty, I got so absorbed into the atmosphere and scared to death so many times I legitimately had weird dreams about xenomorphs lol. The game is so tense, and the sound, light, and level design so immersive that it really gets in your head.

Not many games I've played in my lifetime have had that affect on me, this enters an elite few like Silent Hill 1 and 2 for atmosphere imo.

Truly one of the greatest mods I've ever played, this is one of the best Aliens experience in gaming (up there with Alien Isolation) and I strongly urge any fan of the franchise, or of horror to play it.

10/10
