In development since 2010, the 18th Cacoward winner and Moddb 2012 MOTY Editors Choice of Creativity Award Brütal Doom takes Doom into a whole new level. It makes the game much more violent than before. There's much more blood, plus it adds unique gibs, death animations, dismemberments, headshots, executions, fire and explosion particles, flares, and much more.
The whole world becomes more real and interactive.You can kick severed limbs and heads (and sometimes, use it to activate some traps in the map earlier, or even kick them against enemies to do some damage), you can shoot enemies' heads to deal more damage (and cause more gruesome deaths) you can destroy most things in the the scenario (trees, lamps, hanging bodies, etc), you can paint the floor, the walls, and even the ceiling with blood, you can push the explosive barrels to make traps, or grab them and use like an explosive weapon, you can silently take down enemies from behind and perform stealth kills, the chainsaw actually cuts the enemies in two. When you find the berserk pack and get super strength, you can perform cinematic executions and RIP AND TEAR your foes with your bare hands. Some enemies will scream in anguish and try to crawl away when near death, and they can be used as human shields, and much, much more.
Everything in Brutal Doom is extremely intense. Everything sounds louder, looks bigger, moves faster, and hits harder. You can even fell the impact of explosions. Enemies are harder and smarter, and weapons and explosions are much louder. Your weapons have been upgraded to a deadly arsenal, completely throwing the vanilla Doom's "progressive weapon system" through the window. Every weapon is powerful and have it's pros and cons, a a weapon will never be outclassed when you find a new weapon, but only find a different use for different situations, making Brutal Doom more balanced and more strategic than Vanilla gameplay. You have new abilities too. With any weapon selected, you can press Q (default bind) to kick enemies at close range and send them away. Every new feature and weapon is cautiously balanced, and added in a way that makes sense in the universe of Doom. Many of the features can also be disabled/enabled to provide the best personal experience possible.
Brütal Doom will make the good an old Doom have a new and fresh look. It will give you a reason to play all the Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom levels again. This mod also works with almost every megawad and map pack around. Take a breath, and prepare to RIP AND TEAR HUGE GUTS!!!!!

Brütal Doom clearly deserves a 10, for several reasons: First, it has been developed almost single handedly by a goodwill individual, who clearly has shown the outmost dedication and perseverance through 2 years of continued development, besides from being always open-minded and patient, hearing suggestions and criticism and enduring ludicrous amounts of flame-wars on some of the forums where the project was being discussed. Such professionalism must be taken in note. Second: the level of compromise…

Doom Eternal looks awesome! I'm looking forward to it!
Hopefully, we get the Dragonslayer in Brutal Doom in the future... would be pretty badass tbh.
As a secret weapon, then we can become like Guts who IMO would be BFFs with the Doomslayer. :D
Yow... YOWW!!
(buried)
Yow...Yowwwwwwwwwn.
It's a shooting gallery with more style than substance, and I can see they've doubled down on the stupid writing and flailing attempts and nu-Bethesdian "humor."
And, yes, this is after I've come around (a little) to the 2016 Doom. I actually sort of like it now (probably helped by having nothing else to play on the Switch), and in fact just bought it a second time on PC - so it's not just hating the new thing because it's new. Doom '16 is okay. No, it's actually better than "okay." I enjoy it. I like Brutal Doom more, but yeah, it's fine.
This, though...
Pros:
-Dynamic damage to demons.
-Classic plasma rifle.
-Quick dodge might be a pro or a con depending on how it's handled.
Cons:
-God, more horribly-written blabber.
-"Doom Slayer."
-"The Slayer has entered the building."
-My ears.
-I understand the footage was shot in "developer showcase easy mode," but everything looks very sedate compared to...well, every other Doom game.
-Executions lack oomph. Surprisingly, adding a giant wrist blade makes killing seem a lot more tame compared to just ripping things apart with your bare hands, and smashing them with your boots.
-The aesthetic is weird. It's all over the place. Nothing looks like it fits at all. I don't think "Hell," I think "alien invasion from outer space." And the concept art areas looked cool, like the better parts of Diablo cool, but they look like they're from another game altogether.
-Grappling hook on the double shotgun.
Ugh. Just give me the next Brutal Doom already. I feel a little traumatized watching this.
I'll give you $600 just to shut the hell up!
Actually, about the cons, the "story" you're talking about is more on environmental story, just like reading the lore book in the pause menu like in the previous game, if you're interested in the whole new "Doom Universe" or just go rampaging throughout the skirmish without giving a crap about the lore. In short, it won't bother you nor stall you down after all.
The Doomslayer is just a nickname given to us by demons and humans, like we, gamers named him Doomguy. Just call him whatever he wants. For me, it sounds badass knowing that he is more than just a guy in a green suit.
"Slayer has entered the building." Oh come on, how can you not like that? It's like the comms are announcing to the demons that we are now there to kick their ***. I mean how cool is that, that they finally know how ****** off we are towards the demons.
Just lower the volume, and here I thought everyone likes the sound of demons screaming, heavy gun firing, and Mick Gordon's mix tape.
Easy mode, yes. Just like every game showcasing, they toned down the difficulty to... Well showcase. Relax, you can experience the brutality in Ultra Violence or Nightmare when the game comes out.
Well, I noticed that it indeed lacks ripping and tearing, but keep in mind that they showed merely half an inch of the gameplay. More to come upon release.
Hell is described as a grotesque, and grim environment. Yeah, I see what you mean. But again, merely half an inch of the game was shown.
Grappling hook adds mobility in combat, I see no harm to that. If that bothers you, you can simply not use it.
Well, I respect your opinion. Indeed everyone has a different taste. If you have that much cons, then perhaps this game is not meant for you. Brutal Doom is coming, and I, too, can't wait; more like a time spender until Doom Eternal releases.
(buried)
Okay, Botch I can respond to.
1) I agree with you on this point. Though the holograms *are* everywhere, and their dialog snippets are eye-rollers. But it's not a big deal. I still view it as a con, however, because in my opinion it's objectively terrible. I don't mind a "dumb" plot, but it doesn't have to insult your intelligence.
2) "Doom Slayer" is next-level cringe. I will not give an inch! It's just the "new id" putting their stamp on the game. Even *then,* it's kind of a minor thing (I HATE IT AAAAAAAA). Yeah, minor.
3) I want to call it "cheesy," but it's worse than that. Also minor.
4) That was just me being snarky about the dialog again. I admit that it bothers me more than it should (it's not like it's a Hideo Kojima game or anything), but like I said, you can have a purposefully dumb plot without having to be *dumb* dumb. It's like the difference between "The New Order" and "The New Colossus." One game was fun dumb, the other game was just full retard dumb. I doubt Eternal will even come close to that level of stupid, though.
5) The executions seem too clean, too sterile, and too many of them are taken straight from Doom 2016. But, yes, I agree that this is a beta. But if the final has so many recycled execution animations, that would be a pretty big con in my book. Probably the most "valid" complaint I've got thus far, and it might well end up unfounded.
6) The environments are fine. Though the cityscape looked like it was being taken over by the Flood. I actually liked the sophisticated "palace" shown off towards the end. It's just so against everything else shown, very hard-real, versus the almost cartoony look everywhere else. That's not really a bad thing, either, though, and might actually work well in the game proper.
7) I don't even know why I dislike the grappling hook. If I had to come up with a single reason, I guess it's that I feel it sort of negates the main drawback of the weapon, that lack of range. Plus it's... it's... I don't know. It's just *weird.* But "weird" isn't strictly "bad."
I don't really want the thematic tone to be "serious," or anything. I just wish it weren't quite so hokey. It's like it's trying to be Bethesda's version of Fallout, with the humor I mean, and it's just not working. I mostly really hate the writing. That was a big issue I had with Doom '16, too.
Yeah, what garfielfsbiggestfan said.
"It's a shooting gallery with more style than substance"
Well, duh, it's Doom! What did you expect? And what the hell do you think Brütal Doom is?! Please show me where that "substance" is supposed to be in your beloved BD.
"I don't think Hell, I think alien invasion from outer space."
In other words, basically the plot from Doom 2. Good job tripping yourself up! Again.
"Grappling hook on the double shotgun"
How is this a con, exactly? From what I've seen of the QuakeCon footage, it seems pretty cool and makes for even more dynamic fights.
(buried)
Brutal Doom is *not* a shooting gallery. Not even Doom 2016 is a shooting gallery.
By "shooting gallery," I mean it's a shooter with non-reactive AI that exists to be shot.
Jesus ******* Christ, why is your generation so goddamn whiny, bitchy, moany, and screamy when someone has an opinion that differs from yours? Go eat some Tide Pods.
You saying that sounds super ironic, considering you're the one who started the whining, bitching and moaning. **** off eternally to where you belong instead of bothering others.
(buried)
I'm *very* happy that I triggered you so intensely.
Yet again, the irony continues. Aren't you tired? Nobody agrees with you and people have downvoted and buried your comment already. You just sound and act like a stupid ******* and a grumpy stubborn old *** instead of a gentleman. You try to avoid having a debate with me because you know you'll lose so you pull the "your generation sucks" card just so you feel safe with that argument.
I'm smelling trolling here.
And since you're so keen on ignoring EVERY single bit of criticism others have put on you, then I'll be doing the same to you as well. Hope you enjoy my total indifference to the pathetic little piece of **** you are, because as far as I'm concerned, this conversation is over because you're a dead person already.
If you have an ounce of brain cell in that brain of yours, I'd leave before attracting trouble. You're a trouble maker and trouble makers are not allowed in society, even internet societies as well. You seem like the kind of person who will be banned in no time. Just wait, you're gonna get what you deserve.
Looks amazing as hell!
No pun intended lol.
mastermaniac It's honestly pretty outstanding that people like you can write a whole novel about how a game "sucks" by just watching a gameplay trailer for a game that hundreds of people worked so hard on and which is still a work in progress that doesn't EVEN have a release date. It's also astounding how much of an arrogant twat you are to the point you feel like you have to share and voice every single bit of "opinion" out of your *** and also voice it in a way that it's a order or objective truth. Doesn't matter how hard people work to make a game, there's little whinny pussies like you that bitch. I encourage some more humbleness the next time you come up with criticism or an argument, and actually take into account the effort and the reasoning of your thoughts. Don't even TRY to hide under the "it's my opinion" card because NONE of your comment was even remotely written in such a format where an opinion is clearly evident. You wrote it in a way that it seems like a review, not an opinion. Maybe you should actually learn not only how to write but also how to voice your opinion without sounding like a ****** grumpy puritan fanboy, the kind that even nerds make fun of. Don't wanna buy the game? Fine, that's your choice. Just don't be a ******* ******* and expect people to listen to you when you act like a total cretin. "More horribly-written blabber" "I feel a little traumatized watching this" LOL your triggering is just hilarious!
A lot of people will buy it though anyway and a lot of people like the same features you criticize as "cons", so enjoy being in the minority, you mortally challenged retard. Stick to Brutal Doom and stay there; don't crawl out of your own hole, because literally nobody will listen to your insane rambling. You're wasting your own time and the only thing you did is give me a laugh. Have a nice day and shut the *hell* up ;)
Funny how people used to hate Doom 3 because it was dark, moody, serious and claustrophobic and always asked for a cartoonish Doom game with over the top action and cheesy plot. Now that it happened, people want Doom 3 back?? Make your ******* minds lol.
(buried)
It amazes me that people like you can write a book about how bitchy a differing opinion makes you feel.
I didn't even read that ****, by the way.
You seem to regard your own opinion highly but when it comes to other people, you just disregard them entirely without thought? That's funny. Wouldn't you be disappointed if the developers thought the same of you? Give it an honest thought. Treat others as you want you to be treated.
I disregard spergs. Notice, I didn't *disregard* Botch, because he actually posed an argument.
I'd treat you with a solid punch to the face if I ever met you on the street, which is something I think you (and most of your generation) *severely* need. I think that's what's wrong with you manchildren. No one ever kicked your ***, so you never got cured of your condition.
Kids who acted the way you do used to get reconfigured some. Then they acted better, and grew up into balanced individuals. Your generation seems to be years and years of infantile shrieking never effectively excised.
Yeah? And I'd greet you with a solid bullet to the face and maybe the **** who brought you to this world alongside your pets and even the veterinary just for safe measure. Have fun being an old *** with all of the "your generation sucks" argument you're trying to bait. Hope you enjoy dying alone like the empty museum you are. Kill yourself you sick bastard. What the **** is wrong with you and who the **** brought you up? A ******* ***** in Serra Leone? You have the attitude of one. Your education is futile if the tenure you have is equal to the one of an uneducated baboon.
(buried)
Well, thanks. I mean, I could have gone on, like, trying to make my point, and putting in that effort... but you totally did the work for me. I think I'll just... leave that there. The whole thing. All of it.
Very nicely done!
If your intent was to prove that anyone under the age of 20 is extremely unbalanced to the point of mental handicap, primarily because of an overprotective school system that coddles weakness and sickness, and practically every single one of you needs to be hazed until your world spins for a week... good job. Good job indeed.
Jesus Christ, fix your life.
Do you assume everyone's underaged so you can hide your lack of an actual argument?
A) Believing people need to be assaulted to get "reconfigured"
B) Being a balanced individual
Choose one.
