This isn’t classic Doom, nor is it Doom 2016, but rather a hybrid of both with a dash of Duke Nukem 3D for flavour. The Extermination Day levels really have a feel all of their own. It’s full of clever little details, too, like the Mars levels having slightly lower gravity, making for both easier jumps and more spectacular gib-fountains once you break out the explosive weaponry.
A full game-length set of levels that take you all the way from the initial invasion of Mars, back to Earth, and then to Hell in semi-cinematic style, featuring some massive setpiece battles where you work alongside swarms of friendly marines, and even drive tanks to cover their advance against the armies of hell at one point. More importantly, this month saw a beta (many maps are still in need of polishing) release of Exterminaton Day, Brutal Doom’s own dedicated campaign. This is an entirely optional feature, but an interesting one. Firstly, if you play the original Doom 2 campaign, you’ll find many of the levels remixed and enhanced so as to better match the style of the mod. The (beta) v21 release aims to address that twice over. One of the most common complaints leveled at Brutal Doom is that by changing the core game’s balance so much, it doesn’t pair up well with most commonly played level packs, vanilla Doom 2 & expansions included.
