The Frigging Awesome Game today is called Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl. Urban Brawl is a Doom 2 mod that is totally different than it’s base-game. Urban Brawl uses a unique comicy, colorful art style ingame, switching over to film noir cutscenes to tell it’s stories. There is a wide variety of weapons, and some very, uh, unique characters.
The game starts the player off in the puke covered shoes of a badass retired police officer as he returns home to find that his daughter has been kidnapped. So like any good film noir detective, he goes through the city on a killing spree fueled by booze and rage through the city to rescue his daughter to prove he’s a good father. The narration is very gritty, and very Sin City’esque.
The player must go through the city, with levels including the streets, a gay bar, an office building, and some other areas I won’t spoil. One mechanic in the game is the lack of ammo. It has a Condemned styled combat system, encouraging the player to use melee weapons like switchblades..tazers..and even fire extinguishers, though a gun is available in small amounts.
The most impressive aspect of this game was that it was created by just a few dudes, and they managed to change not only the look of Doom, but also the feel of it. The gameplay, storytelling, and feel to the game is a ton different, and in many ways, awesomer than the original game. So yeah, good job if you’re reading this developers of Urban Brawl!
