![]() ![]() They were designed to have effects so hilariously ludicrous that whenever you see a new weapon in action, you have no choice but to chuckle to yourself and grin like an idiot. They were designed to be as over the top as humanly possible. For your answer, please observe carefully what the mod itself is named.Įvery single weapon in this mod, literally every single one, was designed to be completely and utterly overpowered. But what makes them so special? And how does this really change Doom as we know it?”. Now, you might be saying to yourself right now, “Yes, yes, you have different weapons to play with. While the original Doom arsenal is great fun, and very iconic, Russian Overkill replaces it with over five times as many completely original, custom designed weapons. Boy, oh boy, oh BOY does it change the weapons. In principle, the only thing that Russian Overkill is supposed to change is the available weapons. When you apply this specific mod to your copy of Doom, it leaves the enemies, levels, and roughly 90% of the original Doom content the same as it was before. You play it on top of your original copy of Doom, and while the original Doom experience is left intact, the mod adds its own flavor. Russian Overkill, which had its final version released in 2013, is what is called a “weapons mod”. Russian Overkill is not one of those things.Ībove: OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE THAT THAT’S UNBELIEVABLE!Ībove: HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? THIS RAISES SO MANY QUESTIONS BUT SOMEHOW I DON’T CARE!Ībove: OH MY GOD THEY ACTUALLY MANAGED TO TOP THAT LAST ONE. ![]() Some things are hard to describe in words. This mod, which requires Doom to play, is called Russian Overkill. The one from the early 90’s that practically invented the modern first person shooter. Today I’d like to talk about a mod for the videogame Doom. To describe this game, you would have to say something along the lines of, “Okay, you’re a small, Technicolor green man, and your goal for each level is to take literally everything, every one, and every place you see, and roll it up into a massive boulder, which a cape-wearing King of the Cosmos will then set on fire in order to create a new star or planet. Take the series Katamari Damacy, for example. These things are extremely simple to understand when playing them firsthand, but to describe to another person, in words, is difficult. See, certain things in life, particularly in video gaming, are hard to describe. It’s not so much Doom itself, but this mod you can download for it, called Russian Overkill, and, uh, the mod leaves the levels and core gameplay experience intact, but, uh……. See, I’ve been playing a game, called Doom……no wait, not really. And, in case you can’t tell from the title, I’ve been smiling a lot in the last week. ![]()
