Beatiful
I really hate to seem like some huge buzzkill, but I truthfully cannot, as a fan of Brutal DOOM, and Dox's addon for it, say that I enjoy this mod or recommend it. Not much good has been added to this mod since Emerald took the reins. This is almost entirely just a buggier, unbalanced version of Dox's original addon. Most of the newly added features are incredibly niche in their usage. The COD-styled sprinting cannot be turned off, whereas in Dox's addon you had the option to pick the Tactical class if you wanted to use the sprinting system. I don't think I need to justify why COD-styled sprinting is pace-killing for DOOM, nevermind Brutal DOOM. The Icon of Sin rework from Brutal DOOM v21 is also completely broken by a number of items in this mod's arsenal, most notably the BFG Nuke Launcher, which completely eradicates the boss in less than a second. In all honesty, this mod feels like the reanimated corpse of Dox's Brutal DOOM addon, covered in glitz, glamor and gloss for those weird Project Brutality YouTube channels that load 40+ graphical addons, that one Glory Kill addon, and then play ZDoom slaughtermaps on "Power Fantasy" difficulty. I'll give it another try when a toggle option for the godawful sprinting is added, but as it currently stands, I cannot recommend this mod for anyone who wants an experience that is either fast paced or fun.
Not bad but could be better
The best and most refined Brutal Doom offshoot out there IMHO.
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
Best Brutal Doom mod out there.
Needs silenced dual berettas 9/10
Love it.
Great stuff, weapons are beefy. Graphical additions are nice. Would prefer a purist mode.
This ain't ya daddy's DOOM!
