Chiptune Doom

   (13 reviews)

Guest

About This File

All the original Doom tunes remixed into chiptunes via Impulse Tracker (IT) format. If you don't know what a chiptune is, basically it emulates the sound of the NES, Commodore64, etc. music engines in the form of tracker-based music (MOD, XM, S3M, IT, etc). It should be noted that these songs were converted BY HAND, without the aid of a MID->IT converter of any sort. In general, the drums are not the same quality as in most chiptunes, but better.

This is a bit disappointing. It's reminiscent of 8BITSND but not as good. It's basically the old Doom MIDI files with a different set of samples; unfortunately the samples don't sound cheesy or thin enough to be convincingly retro, and some of the noises have little pops. The drums are basically boring old GM drums. For a good example of how to do this really well, check out 8bitctf (id=13553), 8bitdm (id=12451), and 8bitsnd (id=11686).

As much as I like chipmusic, this one is quite mediocre uneven in quality. Some stuff sounds really "chiptune" with arpeggio effects, deep squarewave bass etc., while others sound as mere sample switches or flat sinewave synthesis. The "realistic" drums also spoil the whole "chiptune" experience in all but a handful of cases. It doesn't have to be of Dubmood quality, but in comparison, even Bloodshedder's NES remixes are much closer to "true" chiptune. 3/5 -Maes

The main reason I hate tracker modules is because each and every instrument I hear have pops at the end of each note. This is especially worse for more "pure" sounds (ones closer to square and saw waves), and boy is this full of it. It hurts my head.

First reviewer is talking out his ass, 8bitsnd is sfx not music and ctf/dm are new songs not remixes. This a bunch of cool remakes of the original songs, with some familiar tracker-style effects added in. Sometimes they are quite true to the originals, sometimes they take on a groovy retro personality of their own. E2M2 and E3M1 are great examples. 5/5

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
