Doom Oblige Mod Review : Oblige Realm667 mod

 Ok, this will be the last doom mod review you will see here. I am going throgh a phase where I have to do other things in my life and won't have time to blog. It's a long story. But anyway, during that phase I will be playing the shit out of this mod. Oblige realm667 mod is an oblige mod that modifies oblige 7.70 to put in realm667 enemies  and guns by default. It's a pretty cool mod with one major issue - difficulty. Besides that it's fine.

Oblige realm667 mod is a great mod to pair with obaddon. It comes with obaddon installed in it's subfolder and it's recommended to play with that enabled.  It also comes with the two mods needed to play with when launching doom, realm667.pk3 and realm667_weapons.pk3.  These two mods contain the new enemies and weapons found in the mod, and are a must to play doom with because without them it wouldn't work. So copy those two files to doom's folder from the subfolder the mod launches in and then run them by typing gzdoom -file realm667.pk3 realm667_weapons.pk3 random .wad where random.wad is your randomly generated wad.

I recommend playing with the newest beta version of obaddon instead of the one given out by this thing. For one it fixes TNT and Plutonia support, and that's important to me. I play with plutonia by default and now that makes doom a lot more fun to see plutonia textures in doom now. Just install it and zip up the src folder in the download zip from github found under clone or download and rename the zip to pk3 and install into your oblige_realm667 folder.

Anyway, the one issue I have with this thing is difficulty. It throws in some OBSCENELY hard enemies into the mix, and some can be a dealbreaker.  One in particular spawns tons of imps everywhere and is really annoying in slaughtermaps, another is a fucking pain in the ass archvile replacement that shoots homing insta-death ghosts ar you. Not exactly the most balanced mod out there.

Still fun  but needs to be improved. You can download the mod through the description of this youtube video.
