Anyone who plays doom Should Know about the Serious Sam games. Looking for a doom mod like serious sam made me only find the badly designed retro encounter and things like that. I made my own but it sucked so I needed something similar, and I came across This gem, serious doom : the simple encounter on moddb one day.
Serious Doom the simple encounter is a mod that has a lot of (badly designed) new levels. But besides that it looks promising, it has enemies and guns from serious sam ported to doom, and they are pretty nicely done. The enemies sprites are mostly taken from retro encounter as are the weapon sprites.
The levels, however, are not that good. Some are ok, but most are terrible. Very few are good. So I did something to improve the mod. I made my own submod for it that includes the following new features"
A) Support for randomly generated maps
B) Tech theme texture replacer for doom maps built in with egyptian textures mostly, and some ones from hexen II thrown in because it fits.
C) RPG Elements like the ability to buy ammo, stat upgrades, and credits given as you level up
(taken from my generic rpg mod)
D) Serious Sam : First Encounter Music imported in and Serious Sam One liners
(Make sure to turn the music volume to 0.15 to hear the one liners - they are kind of quiet)
Extract the file you can find here to your doom 2 folder and run loadss.bat (wad name) to play said randomly generated wad in serious Doom.
I like how it came out. The maps look great, the enemies look cool, I even added some new ones, the weapons work right, and with the cybernetic abilities you can do things like speed up weapon fire rate, heal yourself, regen health and more. It is fun, more fun then serious sam is! I like it more anyway. I ended up spamming the ability to buy ammo, and boosted my max health/damage resistance and movement speed a lot and then just used the tommygun and when I ran out I just bought more ammo. When using shotguns I used the ability to double the fire rate. It is a lot of fun with randomly generated doom maps with hell revealed 2 difficulty. Enjoy.
EDIT : I made a new version of the SD Mod I did based on serious Doom this time, not simple encounter, and you can download it here, it's much better than it was before because serious doom has everything serious sam had and more yet serious doom : the simple encounter did not so check it out
