Brutal Doom - Could Doom be any more gorish?


I don't think there are that many people out there that don't know of Doom, it's a very blood thirsty 1993 science fiction horror-themed game by id Software. In Doom, players assume the role of a space marine, who must fight his way through the hordes of invading demons from Hell. But along comes Doom Brutal, a mod which pushes the boundaries of the level of violence that Doom already has.

As the developer states : Prepare to see the most disturbing, sadistic and morbid manifestation of violence that you ever seen in your life. This is the definitive gameplay enhancement mod for the Zdoom, GZDoom and Skulltag engines.

You'll be shooting enemies and smashing their skulls in. Everything sounds louder, looks bigger, moves faster, and hits harder. The enemies are much harder, but die in oh so many ways, in a spray of blood and guts, just what a Doom player needs.


Version 18 was released : Feb 14th, so you can grab it today without having to wait!

The changelog so far:
- New difficulty balance that makes things easier on hard megawads such as Scythe 2 or Speed of Doom. A balance similiar to the one on older versions is avaliable with new dificulty levels.
- Improved fire deaths for zombies.
- Fixed a bug with zombies and imps getting stuck when kicked over a solid object.
- Many new fatalities.
- New Plasma deaths.
- The volume of many sounds have been reduced.
- Now you can kick crawling zombies in the face. You get cruelty bonuses for every kick.
- The only way to curbstomp a crawling zombie now is to kick them with berserk pack.
- Greatly improved enemy AI. Now many enemies can try to evade some of the players attacks.
- New and improved blood decals.
- Added an alt attack for imps.
- Fixed a bug allowing players to fire weapons or move while performing a fatality or a curbstomp.
