First, I'm going to play Brutal Doom Monsters Only without anything but the Vanilla's weapons.
This ain't no Mister Roger's Neighborhood. I knew that it wouldn't be that easy...
Getting serious now. It is time to promote a carnage here in this map.
We can say that Brutal Doom Lite is like Brutal Doom Monsters Only, but
it's kinda weird. Brutal Doom Monsters Only is more realistic, besides promoting
a good deal of extra difficulty to at least 90% of the mods that it can be used with.
In fact, the difficulty depends of the mods you intend to combine with Brutal Doom Monsters Only.
Next to Insanity's Requiem or Insanity's Brutality, for instance, this PWAD is still very relaxed.
Unlike the Ketchup Gore Mod, this Brutal Doom's version maintains all the enemies
behaviors, including improvements in artificial intelligence and gore. The death animations
were also preserved, including by plasma burns, fire, freezing etc. Due to that, the
rockets and plasma shots have been also kept to match these animations,
although their damage values are similar to Vanilla Doom (without any mods).
In addition of making the mod you wanna play harder, Brutal Doom Monsters Only is often used
in the development of other Doom PWADs, such as VictorCajal's Lazarus Mod
In this part, I made a mishmash between Brutal Doom, Chex Quest and Trailblazer,
a cool PillowBlaster's mod which features, as a protagonist, a loner politically
incorrect mercenary, and a diverse and powerful weapons arsenal.
Since Brutal Doom Monsters Only also preserves some elements of Brutal Doom's scenery,
some sprites may look weird on maps that already modify them, like in this case here.
But this is nothing that affects the gameplay. Only those with hungry bums would worry about this.
I love the Chex Quest BGM, honestly. The game is fucking good as well.
The Trailblazer version 1.4b seems much lighter to me than the one I already knew, by the way.
Anyway, this is a mod that has many uses. I'm adding here to make easier the life of
those who keep asking if some mod is compatible with Brutal Doom and also as an option for those who want
enhance their own PWAD with more challenging monsters and a comic amount of gore and blood.
By the way, will this mod be updated after Brutal Doom v21 is released? Time will tell...
Used mods: Brutal Doom v20b Monsters Only, Trailblazer 1.4b and Vanilla Chex Quest 1 & 2 in ZDoom.
