Scuba Steve's: Action DooM

About This File

Action Doom is meant to try and bring back the run and gun feeling from the old 2D shooters like Contra and Metal Slug. In the tradition of such games there are no bullet weapons, only projectiles. And just like Contra every enemy and subsequently you, all have but one hit point, aside from bosses and mini bosses.

To make the game feel more 2D and less frustrating, you will never be attacked from behind, and the level is entirely linnear.

There are better wads which have nowhere near as much hype as this, but it is still a nice levelset.

An incredibly difficult selection of maps. But I managed to beat this mutherfucker without cheating. The WAD is also chock full of detail, and easter eggs for you to enjoy. Give it a try. ~Hank

the hype fits in with the tongue-in-cheek style of this wad, imo. i would assume that was intended. anyway, i love this wad. it has some excellent areas and is a very creative work. plus, the gameplay definately makes me reminisce about the old days of gaming.

Running through the huge imp-tube room was the first time i've ever felt the adrenaline rush since when i first played doom! And the alien ship part was a feat of architecture, not a whole lot of people (really only you and BPRD) have really got the alien ship style right!

The funnest and most original wad I have ever played. I still don't understand why you didn't use my MSPAINT graphics, though. ~TomD666

To point out flaws, jumping puzzles (some of the precision requires on the car chase sequence) and fights with tanks and turrets really irked me. However, everything else about it by far outweighs those flaws. Some parts of it just had me staring with my mouth agape. Well, that's more of a figure of speech since my mouth never actually does that, but you get the point. This is absolutely wicked. [●●χ 9;●●.5] ~DuctTapeMummy

Oh. From the description I was expecting an actual 2D metal slug-type conversion (which would have been very clever). As it is, pah.

This is one of those rare gems that comes along once or twice in a lifetime. I never did like non-linear levels and Scuba Steve proves that multiple exits can still be linear. I absolutely love this, I just wish it could be updated with DECORATE so I can use any weapons mod with it, I can't right now because of the amount of dehacked used. So yeah, there's no reason this shouldn't be at least 4.5 stars. A lot better than some other zdoom wads out there.

      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.
