REKKR: Sunken Land

This standalone game/mod running on the GZDoom engine is a hidden gem. The custom sprites, weapons and environments are excellently crafted and the midi music fits the game well. This is one of the few games that doesn't have annoying enemies, while except the flying eyes which resurrect enemies, but they easy to deal with. The only "negative" I have is that the story isn't in depth but that is to be expected from games during the 90s which this game takes inspiration from but it has a satisfying conclusion so I'd give them that. Overall if you like Doom or any first person shooters I'd highly recommend you give this game a try.

Unimpressive level design, and wea weapons mixed with incoherent asset design. I've tried playing this a few times, but before soon I get bored by those initial aspects and just uninstall it. There are much better doom/heretic clones out there, not even worth the low price when you can get better experiences right here on Steam on the same vein for free.

An award-winning Doom total conversion that got a release as a standalone game. At core it's still good old Doom - not the 2016/Eternal garbage, but the original 1993 thing in its whole pixelated glory with some slight graphic updates like dynamic lighting. The gameplay feels closer to Heretic: it's slower, more tactical and less chaotic, with huge maps full of puzzles. There are no long range hitscan weapons: both you and the enemy are mostly confined to slow projectiles, so combat mostly happens in close quarters and involves a lot of dodging. The maps are fantastic, sending you on a journey through various time periods, from fantasy castles and magic underworld realms to post-apocalyptic ruins and futuristic bases. I with the enemies were as diverse as the locations: their variety is even smaller than in the original Doom, and encounters soon become repetitive. I doubt I'll go back to replay it, but it was fun to play once.

OK, scrap my previous review and recommendation. This game blows, even if it is old school gaming it adds nothing to even entice you to play on. The map design is AWFUL, it looks like levels put together on a fast pace with no intresting things to do or find. DO NOT BUY(especially not at full price).

If Heimdall was a FPS

buy it

This Ultimate DOOM TC, now commercially released as an IWAD! If you love Norse Mythology, go play it!

The build of GZdoom that this game is bundled with crashes in full-screen because it tries to open on my second monitor and ends up freezing. It open's fine on my personal copy of GZdoom though.
