Bloody Doom modification Brutal Doom v20 was released on Friday, and is quite simply a must download for all Doom fans.

For those new to Brutal Doom, let the developer fill you in on what you’re getting.

“There’s much more blood, plus it adds unique gibs, death animations, dismemberments, headshots, executions, fire and explosion particles, flares, shadows over all objects, and much more.

“The whole world becomes more real and interactive. You can kick severed limbs and heads (and sometimes, use it to activate some traps in the map earlier, or even kick them against enemies to do some damage), you can shoot enemies’ heads to deal more damage (and cause more gruesome deaths) you can destroy most things in the the scenario (trees, lamps, hanging bodies, etc), you can paint the floor, the walls, and even the ceiling with blood, you can push the explosive barrels to make traps, or grab them and use like an explosive weapon, you can silently take down enemies from behind and perform stealth kills, the chainsaw actually cuts the enemies in two.

“When you find the berserk pack and get super strength, you can perform cinematic executions and RIP AND TEAR your foes with your bare hands. Some enemies will scream in anguish and try to crawl away when near death, and they can be used as human shields, and much, much more.”

Sadly the planned Starter Pack hasn’t quite been completed, so this will launch soon alongside a host of new maps.

“I was not able to finish all the promised maps for the starter pack, so I decided to postpone the release of the Starter Pack, and not delay the release of Brutal Doom v20,” explained Sergeant_Mark_IV. “I will release the Starter Pack on the following weeks. I will also upload a Game Manual on the following days.”

The Starter Pack was to include an “unzip and play” installation kit,” making the process of getting started a lot easier. For those struggling with Brutal Doom, check out our easy to follow guide on how to install and play Brutal Doom.
