So this is a monster pack that was built with Doom 1 and Doom 2 single player campaign progress in mind.
It changes many aspects of the monsters and was made to make single player feel even more visually atmospheric from classic style monsters.
Basically, yes there was some heavy editing done on all the monsters in all aspects except basic looks.
To this end, the monsters have been balanced more toward Classic play, BUT are an equal challenge to power levels of Brutal Doom.
High Powered weapons or Vanilla? You can do whatever you want. I tried to strike a good balance during testing and will outline most changes below.
Advanced engine needed : GZDOOM
Primary purpose : Single player
