#Expertise the gory aspect of Star Wars with this ‘brutal’ Doom/Darkish Forces mashup

Your entire Star Wars oeuvre is replete with lore and characters, such that the movies alone can not discover all of it. As such, we have now loads of spin-offs, novelizations, and video video games to fill within the gaps, or no less than create new tales from the identical universe.

Regardless of the swashbuckling and lightsaber glory of Star Wars as a profitable franchise, one factor it’s probably not identified for is its depiction of blood and guts. Even Luke Skywalker’s well-known hand-removal scene is fairly tame. Nonetheless, somebody has determined to rectify this lack of viscera.

Over on ModDBm, person Cody Cruikshank has introduced us one thing that primarily recreates Darkish Forces throughout the Doom 2 engine. One factor they’ve added for sure is a wholesome dose of gore. The mod itself – at present obtainable in early entry – is even referred to as “Brutal Darkish Forces,” which, judging by the pictures alone, guarantees a bloodier and extra violent tackle the LucasArts title.

No signal of Doom‘s chainsaw, nonetheless

Cruikshank seemingly invitations us to “be one with the drive and save the galaxy with blood,” saying that their mod boasts the aforementioned gore, in addition to “remixed weapons, brutal enemies, bosses, weapons,” and different issues.

To that finish, it does seem they’ve primarily created a Doom-esque model of Star Wars: Darkish Forces, however with some much-needed bloodshed that’s evidently lacking from the unique 1995 recreation. In fact, we already did get a remaster of Darkish Forces not way back, however I’m guessing that one downplays a lot of the extreme violence this mod is aiming for.

One factor that’s not clear, nonetheless, is which port of Doom 2 the mod helps. Provided that it has the phrase “brutal” within the title – to not point out the aquifer of ichor seen within the screenshots – it stands to motive that it might require Brutal Doom so as to run. Both that or GZDoom.

Possibly Darkish Forces didn’t go down as the most effective Star Wars recreation of all time, however I nonetheless have fairly fond reminiscences of enjoying it many moons in the past. I’m undecided how I really feel about an excessively bloody tackle it, but when it retains me putting in and enjoying basic Doom, I’m all for it.
