Episode 42: Brutal Doom
Press any Button: A Video Game Podcast
10/05/22 • 59 min
In this week's episode, Eric and Nicky go balls to the wall as they rampage their way through Brutal Doom. Brutal Doom is a game mod for the 1993 first-person shooter Doom created by the Brazilian developer Marcos Abenante also known as Sergeant Mark IV. The mod overhauls the gameplay making it much more violent and bloody, adding significant gameplay and graphics changes. Just for clarity, we only played the mod with the original three episodes of Doom and not all the other games the mod is compatible with for this episode.
