@Carra

There’s a reason it reminds you of 28 Days Later. The Track is East Hastings by Godspeed You! Black Emperor and this segment of it was also in the film.

Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Health packs too scarce? Uh. No offense, but you sorta .. uh, suck. I dunno, maybe I just played cautious, but with an end game VIT of like 15, I ended up having to heal all of twice in the entire game. The first boss, I used a healing item, the final boss, I used 2.
I find the game incredibly easy the entire way.

I enjoyed DoomRL very much as well. This game is actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Not even 6mb too. Nice work.

I hope more retrhomages like this make it to the light of day. A nice little waste of time. Personally, I might have gone with retrhomerges, but that’s mixing up 3 words and may be a little too much to get the finer points done right.

Nice game, shame that Godspeed were only ever capable of playing their instruments at one speed. Very, veeery, sloooooooowwwwwlyyy.

Moya is pretty good though.

I found this a pretty enjoyable distraction, though it does get a bit dreary after awhile. Could just be because my head was congested and pounding from a nasty cold while I was playing.

I managed to accumulate a massive amount of health packs by capitalizing on weapons or upgrades that gave health-leeching. Blasting a few zombies or lost souls inbetween engagements with the nastier, projectile-spewing enemies kept me at maximum health, especially once I got that lovely Nailgun with its insane rate of fire.

I’m not sure if there’s an ending so to speak. I got to a level where all the walls are flames, and can’t find any stairs down. Took out a big nasty cyber-demon though, that could well have been the ‘end boss’.

@malkav11: Yup, DoomRL is a much more enjoyable experience. It makes a perfect break from Sporkhack and Dwarf Fortress.

@yns88: Mostly I meant the turn-based combat.

Honestly I think I’ll still stick to DoomRL. There’s something even more agreeably goofy about turning Doom into a turn-based text RPG.
