This modification, released in 2023 for PC, is built upon the foundation of the classic shooter Doom II: Hell on Earth. It presents players with a curated collection of 19 "speedmaps," designed to deliver focused combat experiences within the established gameplay framework of its parent title.

Core Gameplay Loop

The central experience revolves around navigating through 19 distinct maps, each engineered for rapid progression and intense firefights. While the fundamental gameplay mechanics remain consistent with the original Doom II, this mod introduces subtle yet significant adjustments to the weapon balance. Players will notice that the starting pistol is more effective, and the shotgun, chaingun, and plasma rifle have received enhancements, potentially influencing combat pacing and strategic choices.

Refined Combat Mechanics

A key feature of this modification is the rebalancing of specific weapons. These adjustments aim to increase the effectiveness of more weapons throughout gameplay, encouraging diverse approaches to combat scenarios across the 19 included maps. The focus is on augmenting the player's arsenal without fundamentally altering the genre's core tenets.
