Reviews - DooM: Revenge of Evil mod for Doom II

Sometimes its very hard to review a mod! Take for instance this mod. I would love to give it a 10, or 9,5. Because it looks simply AWESOME!! It is if you play Doom 3 on GZDoom, it really is! So the first 5 minutes of the mod i loved and i was really very enthusiastic about playing the whole thing. But ones the monsters/enemies started to come in my joy started to faint raptly. Thing is, most monsters spawn right in front of you which gives you hardly any time to react, and when you do they already killed you. Which ended up in being killed by 4 out of 5 monsters. Which is at first no problem but which does get very frustrating quit quick. Then, the monsters are VERY powerfull! They do need loads of power to kill them. And, there isn't much health around. Well, there is normally speaking, but for this mod it simply isn't enough. First i played on normal difficulty setting which ended in that i couldn't continue after 15 min. simply because i had no health left and died each time. So i started a new game with lowest difficulty setting, but even then i died instantly all the time and again after 15 min i had left 4 health points, so one hit killed me each time. So there was simply no way for me to play on, would have loved to do so. But this game is simply to hard, and unfair. But, that is my opinion. Maybe someone else thinks differently, although i doubt it. I am a modder/mapper myself so i am a bit used to what people who play mods like. To be fair and precise, the maker of this mod named Doomero, he does say really everywhere that this game is brutal hard. So, he is really honest about it and that is true. I did had a discussion with him about it and he says that it is playable, but that it takes time to learn all the ins and outs of the mod. Most weapons can change the trajectory of there bullets, and when you want to put in the time to learn it all then the mod is probably a bit more forgiving, although it still then is HARD, with capital letters. And that is a choice the maker makes, and that is his good right. It is HIS mod, so he may develop it as he wishes. It is as simple as that. If the mod will be liked by many people who download it is another matter. For some it will be fun, but i am really afraid that most people will be like me, and simply can't play it because they just don't want to first put in the time to learn all the mechanics of this mod. And even then like the hardness and unforgiveness of it. Because even then it will kill you, again and again.
So, this mod looks like a 10/10, but my personal opinion is still 6/10. Simply because it is not playable for me. And this review is about what I think of this mod, not about how the mod maker sees it. So again, i really do think it is a shame that my 6 will turn down the overall number of review but i have to be honest. Seems it had 9,5 and because of my 6 ir now goes down to a 8.3. Till now there are 2 other reviews which both give 10 and 9, but i don't think they played it. Because both only talk about how the mod looks. And that is not a real review i think, but ok, np.
Am really interested to see over time how many people like this game style, i am afraid it will be not many. But then again, a mod is about what the modmaker wants to make, NOT what the public want it to be. In that field many people said the same about my mods, and then i answered that the mod was what I wanted to make. So, all is fair. This is what modding is all about. So Doomero, sorry for my 6, would have loved to give more because the mod shows real quality here. Its just that i personally think it is way to hard. Much success,

Now it is completely broken. You will face 2-3 bruisers at once with pretty much nowhere to run. And it is at first level! So it will force you to save/load constantly.

okay i just think this looks so cool upon first scanning ... that ... . . . its ... not . . . e v e n . . . ... funny ... . . . ; . *

Looking good =D
