About This File

Urban Brawl is the prequel to Scuba Steve's: Action Doom, telling your character's history before those events. Urban Brawl embodies a comic book look and feel with cell shaded graphics and story sequences. All of this is fused with a gameplay that is reminicent of an old beat-em up game.

I really enjoyed the first Action Doom, but I didn't care for Action Doom 2 very much at all. Credit where credit is due, I love the cell shaded visuals and attention to detail. It's clear that a lot of hard work was put into this WAD, and I hope to see more Doom WADs that look like this. But unfortunately, the combat just isn't very enjoyable. Melee combat can be tremendously fun when it's properly implemented in Doom, but here it just feels monotonous and unengaging. The game also suffers from a great deal of tonal inconsistency. Action Doom 2 tries telling a dark and gritty story about a depressed ex-cop trying to rescue his daughter from an evil corporation, and it's reminiscent of Max Payne and Sim City. The game world itself is in absolute contrast to the tone of the story and makes the experience, on the whole, feel very jarring. This isn't helped by the fact that the writing is very cliched and lackluster. Action Doom 2 is an excellent idea with poor execution.

I would pay th3ese guys money for the joy they brought in my real life, then more itf they put out a 3rd installment. The use of Sin City and Doom is exactly the afterlife I want to imagine being in. Scuba Steve Browning, as a consult please consider another game. Got stories in my head that the doom engine can bring to life

the dude going on about AD2's resources not being ripped from anywhere is pretty much the anthropomorphic personification of zdoom.org. apparently you need to rip resources to make a project now. oh, yeah, and this is one of the very few things on /idgames truly deserving of the 5/5. so with that in mind...

I really don't like the gameplay style in this. However, the cartoon-style graphics are excellent, the cutscenes are cool and the scripting is clever. I'll give it 4/5 because it's well-made and I'm sure anybody who likes the 3D beat-em-up style will love it.

Admittedly Urban Brawl is far superior to Action Doom 1, but nonetheless this wad is unfun in it's concentrated form.

I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to Doom, but I would still suggest checking this out at least for the novelty. 4/5

I'm all for new types of gameplay, but this melee crap is so stanked up that nobody in their right minds should tolerate it. Mostly, it just consists of running forward, hitting the fire button, running backward, and hoping that you don't get buttraped by the dude in front of you while you run forward and any dudes behind you when you run back.

The gameplay is amazing, and the graphics are beautiful. One thing, though...I can't open the cabinet with the gun. >:(

The storytelling was certainly very good, and the new resources are interesting as well (they made the spriters resource!). Unfortunately, it seems that most of the work was spent on the story and creating new resources so everything else has to suffer. Next time, I hope Scuba Steve pays more attention to what he left out in this; it seems that when he cut corners by putting in graphics from other games in AD1, he had more time to get the gameplay down really well. 3/5

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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

      The Revenant Problem

      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.
