Very cool, brutal, meaty plugin. But ... what is there to do the same. Designed for co-op ... and only.

This is about marines killing demons with a full arsenal of explosions and bullets.. What more do you need to know?

Well it certainly tough enough so I recommend playing with a few more marines (players).

Very nice visuals (the mesh itself, monsters, etc). Appreciate all the effort that went into that!

Gameplay is good, but the weapons lack a bit of diversity. Why are there two types of shot guns, for example? Why not have a flamethrower or something that propels enemies or...?

(Maybe they're trying to be true to the Doom game weapons, I don't know...)

The help text about opening chests is wrong - you just approach them. That's fine, but they should be made non-clickable so you don't accidentally shoot them instead.

Is there a point to the dual pistols item - I haven't seen any ammo for it?

I've only gotten to the first boss, which seems very hard to kill without abusing bad pathfinding and getting him stuck behind a wall and taking friendly fire...

It would be nice if it didn't use some of the obvious Myth sounds (e.g. wight death, or "everyone into the knot"). They kind of break the immersion.

Overall, very promising plugin - with lots of room for improvement.

Edit: Managed to complete it solo on normal. Film: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iosPgraNjJyrqAnG9JnnX0Sw1f0ytEyt/view?usp=sharing

Definitely required a lot of reloading from saved games and abusing some of the bad AI (e.g. damaging a skeleton and letting him kill his buddies while I stood far away).

If there's plans for an improved version, it may be interesting to watch the above film for ideas of what can be done better. Cheers!
