Scuba Steve's: Action DooM

   (633 reviews)

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.

Absolutely horrible, consists of a boring slog through about three badly-designed and ugly levels. The "plot" is also incredibly asinine and makes absolutely no sense. Avoid like the plague. -5/5 stars

You know you can expect 100% pure action when the author is even named after a gun.

The fact that you die after one hit makes the game suffer a lot! I know it’s supposed to be like the 2D action games, but at least when you die in the 2D games, you pick up right were you left off. He should have kept the original DooM shooting style. The fact that you can catch up to a bullet and die is pretty lame. The bullets look more like marshmallows.

I dont'like this one much because I am used to the original doom/2, but for sure, this one IS legendary, so I have to give 5 stars for this (with no regrets)

Certainly dserves a place in any TOp 5 Wads of All Time list, or for that matter TOp 5 Game Mods of All Time list! While very hard, it is extremely fun, and some levels are beyond innovative. The scripting is amazing as well.

Well everything about this wad is pretty good. Graphics, secrets, weapons, levels, etc. is all good. One more thing I hate is the ugly 2d character graphics. I mean if you can't make good 2D characters just use the default please. The graphics for them are a joke, enemies are great though. Love the minigames but not the extreme situations with 1 HP! I am not racist to this with 1 hp I knew it would still be fun but DAMN! is it hard! Anyways 5/5.

I'm sorry, but this sucks shit. I wish Scuba Steve never entered Doomworld, let alone stuck around nominating crappy zdoom wads every year including his own. I'm happy this stupid overrated wanker doesn't make wads for DooM anymore. Now he just has to stop writing the Cacowards.

That's my kind of stuff, action, movement and visualy intensive. There's several way to go to one places and some effects realized with the zdoom engine shows a very creative mind. Steeve, good job. I'm totaly impressed, and it gave me some ideas... -_^ -GodCells

I have to agree with the guy above the guy above me's cacoward argument. Ever since this wad Scuba Steve has taken a downward spiral to being a cheap hack that has everyone else do everything for him like with AD2.

      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.
