A duo of evergreen recommendations here, for those perhaps a little behind on their Doom modding and wanting a way to sample the best of the past couple decades.Īn all you can eat buffet of old-school demon slaying.
Best played in short bursts though - this one can be exhausting. It also helps that, aside from a few levels with more downbeat tunes, the SNES-era soundtrack is full of energy, making that push into the next room jam-packed with demons and powerups exciting. You can switch between weapons instantly, ammo flows like water, and enemies spawn in willy nilly.

If you run out of stuff to do in the four demo levels, you can always play the original Doom 2 campaign with a Bloom makeover. This version is just a demo, though, and I cannot wait to see what the full version brings.

The maps get the same treatment too, with segments of Blood level tumescent with techno-greebling from the future, while familiar Doom 2 architecture is corroded and overgrown. A silly name for an extremely cool concept. It fires a high-powered beam of death with little pause between volleys, and can melt through most regular enemy types. Playing as a big red demon-looking lad, your faded and monochromatic world is under attack by monsters. Hurt is a single massive level taking advantage of every trick the GZDoom engine has to offer, featuring plenty of new enemy types and capped off with a brooding, ambient soundtrack.
The instructions for running all the mods below have changed very little since I last covered the scene, so check out the bottom section of my Cacowards coverage for a quick guide to getting this up and running.
