This is a modification for the classic PC shooter, Doom II: Hell on Earth, released on October 29, 2020. It presents a curated experience designed for players seeking a challenging and focused combat encounter within the familiar framework of the original game.

Core Experience and Design

The modification centers around a set of 14 custom-designed maps, specifically engineered for a "pistolstart" gameplay style. This means players begin each map with only a pistol, requiring them to scavenge for weapons and ammunition as they progress. The design emphasizes strategic resource management and skillful combat engagement from the outset.

Gameplay Progression and Difficulty

The difficulty curve is a notable aspect of this modification. It begins with an accessibility comparable to the first episode of the original Doom, gradually escalating to a level of challenge that rivals the later stages of demanding custom maps like those found in Plutonia or TNT. This progression offers a steady ramp-up in intensity, rewarding players who adapt and master the game's mechanics.

What Makes This Modification Unique?

As a modification, it expands upon the established gameplay of its parent title by introducing new level designs and a specific gameplay constraint. The focus on pistolstart and the carefully crafted difficulty progression are key features that differentiate it from the base game and other modifications, offering a distinct challenge for experienced players.

Platform Availability

This modification is available for PC, specifically for Microsoft Windows operating systems.
