10 MORE Essential Doom Mods

[@BatmanDoseNotPayTaxes]

I am literally so happy there is a army of darkness mod 😍😍😍

[@enricopaolocoronado2511]

The "shotgun" in the Army of Darkness might actually be a reference to AOD's S-Mart scene where Ash rapid fires a lever-action rifle (to the point that it might as well be a machine gun in its own right) at a rampaging Deadite that showed up just as Ash was recalling his adventures in Medieval Britain (barring his embarrassing/non-canon blunder of sleeping too long).

Someone needs to make a John Wick mod of Doom where you fight Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers.

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

That would be awesome. I would love to see a Jurassic Park mod, too.

[@veromolpa]

I played so much Daggerfall that seeing Inquistor 3 made me very happy to be able to play a doom mod that feels similar, even sharing sprites

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

I haven’t played Daggerfall. I want to take a look at some random dos games soon. I’ll have to add that one to the list.

[@Reversion1970]

Great collection of mods! Out of all of these, I've only played both Ashes & Unloved, and I've played a LOT of mods. Can vouch for Ashes they are truly great. So good, I consider them to be standalone games rather than mods.

[@BunnyBun11]

So many doom mods/maps so little time to play! Thank you for making this video! Love your commentary, voice, and pacing!

[@Brunoki22]

Great list here. There're some I didn't know that I should try! And if I were to recommend some that I personally like, they'd be Hocus Pocus Doom and any of the Golden Souls mods. They are definitely a bit more colorful than the ones you've shown, but I still think they are just as good.

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

I actually have both of those ready for a future video about doom mods based on other games. Coming soon 😎

[@UnknowableThen]

You really understated how difficult the Army of Darkness mod is, when it came out I did a no save run, and I can unironically say I'd rather pull my teeth out than do it again.

[@Pythoner]

Since you brought up Doom mod combinations I thought I'd give a few of my own recommendations that I found fit like a glove: 1. Going Down wad + DN3DooM mod + Steve's flashlight mod.. basically transforms Doom into Duke Nukem 3D and with this skyscraper map set styled much in the way Duke Nukem 3D's psuedo-realistic maps were 2. Auger Zenith wad + NeoCore : Dark Depths mod.. it's a cyberpunk map set combined with cyberpunk weapons & enemies. Enough said. Can get tough though 3. Unfamiliar wad + Project Malice mod + NL Extra Guns mod + Hell's ambience music mod.. well it's the Doom maps redone in a detailed, creepy way (think Doom 3-ish), combined with a creepy enemy replacement mod, foreboding music set and a weapons mod which gives you firepower but restrictions along with said firepower. Works very well. 4. 2002 A Doom Odyssey - 10th Anniversary Edition wad + DoomRL Arsenal mod (enable weapons, monsters, plus all extras such as sounds, etc..). The 2002 A Doom Odyssey wad is a classic map set which is a sort of re imagining of the original Doom maps in a similar style. But can feel a little too vanilla. Adding the DoomRL Arsenal mod basically transforms it into this randomized, roguelike experience. Try it to see what I mean. 5. Lost Civilization wad + Brutal Doom mod. This is a set of mostly very open maps with amazing detailing and tons of enemies, and this gives you all the room you need to take on the Brutal Doom monsters with the Brutal Doom arsenal. Nice dichotomy between the picaresque landscapes and insane amounts of gore too. I put some detailed settings for these combos over in this thread: www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/127059-fav-gameplay-modwad-combo/?tab=comments#comment-2510402

[@Nolasco.]

Man, people do great work with mods. Thanks my dude 👍

[@MulekeTrairao]

If you enjoyed The Inquisitor III, then I highly recommend its spin-off Ascension. Even though it's a spin-off, it is actually longer to beat than The Inquisitor III. It features a ton of content, and the Russian into English translation quality received a huge improvement (the translation for the first two mods in the series is kinda average). Ascension is just as addictive, if not more, than The Inquisitor III.

[@yoshuayetz2424]

dude this list is awesome, thank you!

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@atdynax]

I was hoping to see the Dome from Ashes Afterglow as it is an impressive sight.

[@SerathDarklands]

If you ever do a third video, you have to cover La Tailor Girl. It really flips the Doom experience on its head.

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

I havent heard of this one. I have had so many suggestions that there’ll definitely be a part 3 coming up 😊

[@SerathDarklands]

@@thereviewsbrothers3854 Awesome, looking forward to it. Colorful Hell is worth taking a look at as well. The channel IcarusLIVES has a video on both mods, if you want an idea of what you're getting into with them.

[@henryfleischer404]

Got any recommendations for wads to play it with?

[@SerathDarklands]

@@henryfleischer404 Colorful Hell is a solid option. If you're looking for maps, anything, really. I've done it with Doom 1, Doom 2, TNT, Plutonia, Ancient Aliens, Scyther 2... Anything that doesn't affect weapons, really.

[@henryfleischer404]

@@SerathDarklandsThanks for the recommendations, I haven't played Scythe 2 yet.

[@AmyraCarter]

Unloved has also been released as a standalone game, I believe on GoG, Steam, and Itch; it recently was 100% off on Steam. ... I definitely recognized TES I/II assets in Inquisitor III. Not disappointed; those games deserve more love (and less hate/destructive criticism).

[@thosemerc3113]

Steam version of Unloved is NOTHING like the original wad.

[@elrondmcbong6392]

Another mod you should def check out, that i havent seen mentioned in the comments yet, is Blade of Agony. Its a TC that brings wolfenstein to doom, 3 episodes of scripted missions, tons of new, cool weapons, lots of interactivity, a hub map between missions with NPC to talk and trade with and lots more!

[@chris040hh]

Fav mod ive ever played it was truly amazing

[@RetroGamesCouple]

Quite a nice list! We might also try some of them! Thanks!

[@necrosteel5013]

19:32 little point, apparently a fire extinguisher can put out lost souls in the OG RPG game. Maybe it can be done in the mod too. I recommend metadoom and reelism.

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

Oh that’s cool! I plan to carry on with the demo so will hopefully get to try that out. And thanks for those ones. I will download them and I’m sure do a part 3 soon! Getting so many cool recommendations.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

If you code the extinguisher as a type of damage and code the modded Lost Soul to respond to being hit by that kind of damage by transforming into a doused Lost Soul, yeah, you can definitely do it.

[@KylarTyphlosion]

Doom rpg and doom rpg 2 are available. Fans have remade them for pc

[@DanaOtken]

My own personal favorites right now for playing are Angelic Aviary (enemy replacement; gives you angels instead of demons who trade some health for wings and generally more dangerous attacks) combined with La Tailor Girl (several characters to play, all of whom focus heavily on getting and preserving armor in the form of various sets of clothing with a wide variety of special powers).

[@childofthe80s1981]

Unloved has awesome music from Silent Hill 2 which fits because Unloved is definitely inspired by the Silent Hill series

[@mediabass]

A lot of textures in Siren are from a texturepack converted from Doom 3. I love it and I am using it in one of my projects. Should continue to work on it 👍 currently I'm looking a bit more at whats out there. This video is very helpful.

[@YoshiTheMage]

Alright I'll throw my two cents into this pot. My favourite gameplay mod is Final Doomer, a mod by Sgt. Shivers and Yholl that adds weapon sets tailor-made for specific map sets including the IWADs, BTSX, Ancient Aliens, JPCP and more. The animations are smooth, many weapons have depth to their usage and the sound design is excellent across the board. My favourite set of maps is an impossible question but I'm going to give a shout to Sunlust by Ribbiks and Dannebubinga. Sunlust has a reputation for being extremely difficult that largely precedes it but that only really applies to Ultra-Violence. The lower skills are much more manageable. Take away the challenge of UV and you're still left with some of the finest levels ever put out. My favourite conversion sort of mod is Touhou Doom ~ Unusual Invasion of Fire and Brimstone, created by Untitled. Doomguy gets dropped into the magical land of Gensokyo and has to shoot his way through the youkai inhabitants and their beautiful bullet hell patterns in search of answers. The whole thing has this very amateurish charm to it, most noticeable in the mapping I think but its core is damn solid. I first played it knowing very little about Touhou but now I can say it was my gateway into that wild rabbit hole. I've played it all the way through five separate times and revisit small chunks of it constantly. Be sure to tweak GZDoom's automap settings so that it shows sprites though, the automap is a vital tool in Doomguy's kit for evading bullet patterns.

[@mancman-bu4kz]

Love doom it was 1st fps ever played on mates dads pc when he was at work lol ever since got doom on everything lol only just got into the mods got tonnes them on my pc now lol

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

[@Sinn0100]

I imagine you likely know about the new Doom+Doom 2 Definitive Edition that was just released on all platforms. What is so incredible is that finally, consoles now have full mod support. Just last night, I played Nuts Doom, a Brutal Doom mod, and Sunlust on my Series X. I believe all of these are available for download and play on console. Addendem- I am currently reviewing Doom+Doom 2 Definitive Edition across all platforms (Xbox Series X, PS5, Steam Deck, and Switch). The title includes Doom, Thy Flesh Consumed, Doom 2, Master Levels, Evilution, Plutonia, No Rest For The Living, Sigil, and Legacy of Rust. So far, all platforms have run well across the board. The only one that has had any trouble with the game is the Switch. Nuts Doom turned into a complete slide show on the Switch.

[@Slogstin]

Personally, to me one of the most important mods is Hideous Destructor. The vanilla mod is great, but the number of addons and the ability to roleplay when playing with friends just makes this mod one of the best i've ever touched. It's not for everyone, but everyone should at least try it. If it turns out being something for you, you'll have a blast.

[@HeyItsJonny]

High noon drifter pairs well with western doom, and is fantastic. Rekkr and double impact are available on doom and doom 2 for android as well as console, and there are a handful of other popular map sets available on the android/Google Play version. If you are a mega doom fan, and you have anything more powerful than a Samsung j3 emerge, it's a decent version to play with a set of Bluetooth accessories. Be aware you need to create a bethesda account to access the map sets and conversions. Another nice combination would be Weapons of Saturn, weapons of saturn hud, and brutal doom monsters v19. That's makes for a decent vanilla+ experience on any doom 2 (jump enabled) map set.

[@IndustrialFan666]

I really love these mods, I used to make doom shit all the time, I have hundreds upon hundreds of levels I made, and schematics for levels I never got to properly create… But I don’t have the discipline to make a proper campaign. I don’t have the vision. Sometimes I wish I could go back but I’d need a team

I only found about Doom RPG rebalance in your video, but the mod is mostly from two old doom mods DoomRPG and DoomRLA, which a few years back only works on old gzdoom versions, which forced to dowload an old gzdoom version just to try it, but this new mod finally makes they playable in newer versions. And those old doom rpg mobile games are completely different, but like the other said it was ported to pc sometime ago.

[@SinaelDOverom]

Different mods. Since the author of the vid did not provide any links to the mods, finding the "Doom RPG Rebalance" he's talking about (that is based on moblile game) is next to impossible, because all google shows are Doom RPG + DRLA Rebalance (not related to mobile game) What he actually shows is Doom RPG Remake Project (DRRP).

[@railgunmisaka296]

@@SinaelDOverom Well damn I googled both and I think you're right lol. I think I was baffled, when I googled the Doom RPG rebalance mod out of curiosity while watching since he said it was based on the mobile game, and I tried DOOMRPG and DOOMRLA a few years back and was pretty sure it's not based on the mobile game. But I did not see much gameplay of Doom RPG mobile game, so I did not have much info I guess.

[@RevaeRavus]

Haven't played the Army of Darkness mod (for some reason), but being way-too-familiar with the movie: the pillow launcher is probably a reference to the packs of gunpowder that are launched at the end of the movie. The main baddie, skeletal bad-Ash, is launch via catapult into the air alongside one and blows up.

[@nightbirdds]

I'd recommend checking out our map pack. Dragon Sector (The Remake) We currently have six maps completed. We're building upon Project Brutality, and include it with our Full Pack. It is a bit heavy on resources, but that's because both PB and our maps are pushing GZDoom just about as far as we can.

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

Amazing. I’ll definitely do that. Any particular weapon/enemy packs to go with it or just the brutality ones?

[@nightbirdds]

@@thereviewsbrothers3854 The ones included in Project Brutality are what we designed the maps around. Though I have seen folks playing them with other weapon/monster packs. PB's weapons are awesome, though. The Railgun, and their BFG/Black Hole Generator implementation are awesome. :) As far as monsters go, PB has a bunch, and we've got some unique variants as well.

[@johnedelmann6711]

The "pillow launcher" might be a bag of gunpowder.

[@1mariomaniac]

In Inquisitor 3, those NPCs are taken straight from The Elder Scrolls 2 lol. Also I think the "flesh imps" might be gargoyles from Heretic.

As a matter of fact, you can actually play Doom RPG and Doom RPG II on PC nowadays, as a group of dedicated modders have crafted a fanmade PC port for both of those games. They require the original files to run, but those aren't hard to find with some proper digging.

[@FRANART1892]

just to point out, if you don't load strange aeons with the patch for HND, the weapons from the mod will be replaced with the aeons one there's no laser gun or ak47 in HND, that's because you loaded the mods wrong haha you missing out the real weapons from the mod
