Award Winning Doom WADs & Mods of 2021

[@Mutant_Mods]

Thank you for 94K subs. Here's to more good times with mods! About the video, all criticism is welcome, tell me what coulda been done better. Almost forgot, thanks so much to @EduardoAndFriends for helping by creating the “coming up” segments and tutorials! Video wouldn’t be the same without him.

[@DeAtHPoInT9]

Congratulations on reaching 94k subscribers brother, you deserve it and more

[@heisenbergyyyt]

bro icant find the link of psychic i want the mod pls give me the link

[@TheRealBass72]

Congrats man, keep making your content!

[@VtheVictorious]

since this comment you've actually made it past 100k! HUGE congrats!

[@derpMCgee-xd7ez]

I like how you add a bit of charm to the videos instead of some people who do bare minimum and lousy reviews

[@moonshoesthecat7277]

dude literally skipped mods he was covering because they weren't his style and didn't say much about them.

[@Mutant_Mods]

@@moonshoesthecat7277 well I’m not insane bro, I won’t play 22 WADs just so that I could review them. Imagine how much of my life I would’ve wasted, & how long it woulda taken me to make this video.

[@ThommyofThenn]

​@@Mutant_Modsthere are so many good ones that maybe playing a few levels or some other standardized length would be ok I would assume. More balanced and healthy for the player in terms of time being used.

[@zildjian2381]

@@Mutant_Mods Yooo you're not a pushover. Keep making incredible mod showcases dude!

[@laughingbob5786]

its why i stayed and subbed honestly

[@saschaberger3212]

The modder from the first "cards" mod should unironically create a game based on this idea. I would buy this

[@adirblazkowics7717]

Corruption Cards is awesome, you should ABSOLUTELY try it yourself

[@mark-tt3xp]

try nuclear throne

[@DatGuy12345]

A roguelike!

[@retrokid104]

He also created Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch, one of the best Zandronum iwads I’ve ever played

[@phaolo6]

However, I wish the mod also had a few bonus cards, instead of just all negative ones

[@billyboleson2830]

Before mods like Guncaster, Trailblazer, the Brutals, axle roid booster, meta doom etc… there was Psychic which honestly still holds up amazingly

[@freshglizzy3763]

Played Ashes 2063 twice over. It upsets me it isn't its own game because I want to give the developer all my money

[@pendantblade6361]

Ashes is so fucking good, like holy shit, I wish the modders would make their own standalone game.

[@Ahov]

There's a prequel episode, Hard Reset, on its way in the next week or two!

[@daxx-8014]

Yeah words alone cannot describe how good that total conversion is, it made me take my sweet sweet time to explore every nook and cranny and go back through multiple saves to see every ending

[@phaedruslive]

It's a literal masterpiece.

[@EduardoAndFriends]

Duuuuude that was epic! Such an awesome listing and dissection of Doom content. Thanks for the opportunity to add some stuff to the vid! :)

[@IrradiatedShotgun]

Mutant, these videos you put out are consistently the most entertaining and high quality doom videos i see here on youtube, you definitely put a lot into this video and it shows. (that ending speech was very well put). You're one of my go to youtubers when it comes to doom and fallout mods and i am glad to have stumbled across your channel. keep ripping and tearing.

[@Mutant_Mods]

Thanks bro. It means a lot.

[@IrradiatedShotgun]

@@Mutant_Mods of course dude, stay awesome.

[@42ccb]

With this ammount of mods why you even need another games.

[@SpecShadow]

Not that much into the Doom, but some mods catched my attention. Hedon, Ashes 2063+DMW+Afterglow, Inquisitor trilogy+Ascension...

[@9000Dogs]

Love the editing and presentation in this, felt like I wasnt just watching a recommendation list, but something with flair put into it. Thabks for the WAD suggestions!

[@SkyrimBeast]

I remember Eternal Doom from Team TNT. That was quite the ballbuster of a mod. It was sooooo easy to get lost in any of the levels. But at the same time, the anticipation and stress inducing feeling of "what's waiting around each corner" made it worth it. Thanks for the video Mutant Mods 🙂

[@Nekolaws]

This video has no right to be so good, so well produced and with such a closed script just to show Doom mods. The effort that was put into this video is phenomenal and very welcome for today's times. In fact, I started playing Ashes 2063 and I'm completely amazed by its gameplay. Doom possibly has the best community of modders ever seen.

[@atomicpunch1990]

Saving this video! Amazing editing, mods and the ZDL bit is just what I needed! So glad that I subscribed!

[@BunnyBun11]

My download folder is now very full. Thank you for this!

[@dard2240]

While it's hard to get the scope of the best mods for Doom, there are some that deserve more attention: 1)Hideous Destructor. If you look at top mod on "ZDoom Community Top Works of All Time" then you will see this mod taking the cake. While some users would distant themselves from slow paced mod in Doom it still an incredible mod that transforms it into coop tactical shooter with plenty of freedom to go about the way to complete maps. If it's too much to handl then there is also lighter version of this mod called Deathstrider. 2)Russian Overkill. The essence of "if more and bigger then better". I don't need to introduce the amount of fun this mod provides with the most powerfull arsenal that ever existed. It's perfect for people craving for that "power fantasy" feeling. 3)Brutal Doom and Project Brutality. Yeah, yeah, i know. We all know about thoes two mods, i think there is no one left who didn't hear about it so let's just move on. It still deserved to be at least being mentiond. 4)Blade of Agony. It's basically just a fan game on doom engine. All usuall Wolfenstein stuff with a touch of modern design. 5)Urban Brawl: Action Doom 2. One of the best TC that ever existed in my opinion. Beatem-up style gameplay with cool comic art style and plenty of secrets to discover. Also on of the best OST. List can go on like this forever, but you get my point.

[@Paisly_]

Why do you make a list of mods that „deserve more attention“ and then only list well-known and extremly popular mods😂 You are right you probably dont have to mention brutal doom as not only is it the most popular doom mod but one of the best known mods in general.

[@dard2240]

@@Paisly_ They are quite popular inside Doom community, but not outside of it(only brutal doom have that popularity). I mentioned them because they wasn't being mentioned in the video since if we talk about greatest mods of all time then at least some of thoes mods should be mentioned.

[@roetemeteor]

HD has two major issues. The first is, although it's meant to be a tacticool shooter, they insist on having mimics that look like barrels and then fire at you. Why? No clue, screw you, die. Two, the head bob is immensely, IMMENSELY jarring. It completely screws up the flow. If these things weren't in it, it'd be very damn cool. To add to this list, Lost In Darkness is EXTREMELY good. It's basically S.T.A.L.K.E.R in doom.

[@bunbungaming8446]

Fantastic work as usual. I absolutely love Xaser's stuff, especially Psychic, so it was awesome seeing it in action again.

[@YourDayHasEnded]

Just wanted to say I really look forward to your videos. Doom or New Vegas, the mods you show are always always worth an install. Really enjoyed modders got talent as well! You rock Mutant Mods! Keep up the content homie!

[@mangaas]

Oh man, had to wait for the premier to end, 360p is like having my glasses off. This is much better!

[@jish4062]

daggerfall werewolves in my doom mod? sounds wonderful

[@Annihilator2011]

Some absolutely amazing mods/maps. Far exceeding the original game and even more amazing it continues two and a half decades after the game launched. Good vid.

[@redlister2934]

Always happy to see the cacowards still going. Shows how dedicated, passionate and creative the Doom community are.

[@splurgy.]

your videos got me into classic doom and it's modding scene, thanks for the sick content man

First of all, good morning my dear brother, finally a new video of DOOM mods, you don't know how long I was waiting for it and as always you maintain a glorious quality, thank you for the video and finally, the fall of the discord server is sad, but well, I think that I sent you a friend request in case I make any progress with my project for New Vegas to keep you informed

[@milk_yt]

I never get tired of DOOM, but the Cyberdemon with a "jetpack" at the start convinced me to test these mods.

[@janoycresva919]

Blade of Agony is the best doom mod ive ever played Everyone should check it out

[@CyPhaSaRin]

great video bud, hope you see more subs.

[@anotherthing]

"The seed changes and somehow everyone gets the same challenge on the same day." This is simple. Just use the date as the seed, or use the date as the seed for the RNG.

Painkiller is awesome, i'm so happy such mod exists. I'm a big fan of the game so will try it out today

[@zioniczenko]

Alright, you've convinced me. Next chance I have some free time, I'll put aside the live service impatience of Hitman and Deep Rock and play a real shooter. Thanks for the suggestions!

Corruption Cards is one of the most genius mods in gaming. It honestly even puts most rogue-lites to shame for how it combines absurd randomization.

[@shlokshah5379]

Instead of zdl i would recomend doom runner. It has pre configs for setting games which you can go back to with saves.

Hey MutantModder, you might've already heard about this, but the Doom mod community lost one of their own recently. TiberiumSoul, the developer of a doom mod called Insanity's Requiem, passed away on May 29th 2024 in his sleep. The work he was doing on this mod looked incredible, you should check it out if you aren't already familiar. May he rest in peace.

[@talljesuschrist]

I hate that i have to ask, but what song is that at 19:22. I know it's a midi of a regular song. I've listened to the clip for probably 10 minutes now and still can't figure it out. I know i know it. Part of me thinks it's livin on a prayer by Bon Jovi but I'm not entirely sure that's right.

[@Mutant_Mods]

Close

[@lucasfkam]

A suggestion for improvement for the next listings is to put the name of the mods somewhere in the corner of the screen, as English is not my native language and I don't understand it 100%, some names I end up not understanding much when the name of the mod is said. .

[@Brunt97]

13:25 fun fact you can do it without using zdl only in cmd but it its pain in ass to do

[@bil4630]

Hey man, I know this isnt the right video, but Its ur most recent so I will comment. I installed both ur graphics and Gunplay mod lists for FNV a couple days ago. The performance was bad and I couldn't really tell if the graphics mods were working. There was a crosshair in the screen always even when adsing, and I don't know if the ads crosshair was lined up. Also in Mo2 there were tons of different mods overwriting each other or being over written. What should I do? Also some mods you recommend when you go to the nexus page it says other mods are required for that one to work. If you could just explain how you configure both modlists, and also mby what I could do abt the fps issue, or like just recomending a video to explain it even. Sorry for the essay, thanks again.
