DOOM players that would like a little extra from their game might be interested to know that awesome Doom modder Sergeant_Mark_IV will be launching his upgraded version of Doom 64, Brutal Doom 64, next week on 30th October.
This PC mod will outfit Doom 64 with new special effects including particles, lightning, gore, sounds, weapon animations, enemies and cut content from Midway’s 1997 spin-off. The mod aims to enhance the original experience by adding a layer of brutality and intensity that fans of the series have come to love.
Enhanced Gameplay and Features
Brutal Doom 64 is not just a simple graphical update; it brings a host of new features that significantly alter the gameplay experience. The mod includes powerfully reimagined weapons that feel more impactful and satisfying to use. The addition of new particle effects and dynamic lighting creates a more immersive atmosphere, making each level feel more alive and dangerous.
One of the standout features is the inclusion of enemies that were removed from the original game. Fans will be thrilled to encounter the Chaingunguy, Revenant, and Mastermind, with the Archvile and Hellhound still planned for future updates. These additions not only increase the challenge but also add variety to the enemy encounters, keeping players on their toes.

He has collaborated with the owner of the VGP servers cluster to host a survival co-operative multiplayer game upon the mod’s release. This feature allows players to team up and tackle the brutal challenges together, fostering a sense of community and shared excitement.
The multiplayer mode is expected to be a hit among fans, as it offers a new way to experience the game. Players can strategize and work together to overcome the hordes of enemies, making for a more dynamic and engaging experience.
