This modification for Doom II: Hell on Earth, released in 2018, offers an experimental approach to the shooter genre. It focuses on dynamically adjusting the player's experience without explicit difficulty settings.

Adaptive Difficulty System

The core gameplay mechanic of this modification is its adaptive difficulty system. Instead of players selecting a difficulty level, the game monitors performance and adjusts the challenge in real-time. If a player is performing well, the game may increase in difficulty. Conversely, if a player is struggling and dying frequently, the system will automatically reduce the difficulty.

This system is designed to operate without relying on traditional methods such as altering monster or item spawn rates based on preset difficulty tiers. The aim is to create a more fluid and responsive challenge that adapts to the player's current skill.

What is the core gameplay loop?

Players engage in the familiar shooter gameplay established by Doom II: Hell on Earth. The unique aspect is how the game's challenges are presented and scaled. The experience is centered around navigating levels, confronting enemies, and surviving, with the underlying difficulty dynamically managed by the modification's engine.

What makes this modification unique?

The primary distinguishing feature is its self-adjusting level design. This experimental feature seeks to provide a tailored experience by modifying the challenge based on player performance, aiming for a consistent level of engagement.
