A free gameplay overhaul mod for Doom

Brutal Doom Platinum Mod is a free mod for Doom, a popular first-person shooter game. This mod is a fork of the popular Brutal Doom mod, and the aim of both is to make Doom a more difficult experience for the player.

The goal of Brutal Doom itself is to make the game more difficult, and Brutal Doom Platinum claims to keep the original mod’s “vision” while adding features, variety, and polish to the base game. The mod is also actively under development, and players can expect more features in the future.

Revamping Doom for a more challenging game

Doom is an incredibly popular first-person shooter game that is largely credited as being one of the founding games of its genre. Brutal Doom Platinum is one of many mods that aims at giving the game more replayability by introducing new content, more variation, additional modes, and greater difficulty. It is built for the ZDoom version of the game.

Added polish and new features

The mod covers many aspects of the game, making relatively small changes across the board instead of any single huge change. These include things like visual effects—such as blood stains and sprinting animations (also the addition of sprinting)—revamped weapon animations, new secrets, remade demon runes, and, of course, a general increase in difficulty.

A good mod for the seasoned Doom player

While the mod brings with it plenty of new features to revitalize the game, more casual gamers or players who are new to Doom should take note that the increase in difficulty may be off-putting. However, for experienced players, this mod is likely to be a compelling reason to return to the game once again.
