"The dragon homeworld, your homeworld, has been destroyed by a greedy and powerful wizard named D'Sparil, and now this pocket of the multiverse is crawling with his looting and pillaging goons. His dark mentor Korax has enslaved neighboring magic-laden dimensions and flooded them with his monstrous minions and devoted bishops. The unstable influence of the Chaos Sphere has awakened ancient evils even in the most distant corners of the multiverse, prompting the actions of demonic cults to seek dominion over their own sections of the cosmos. It's up to you, brave fire-breather, to put these goons in their place, and return the balance of power of magic in multiverse. You're going to need your wits about you, lots of heavy firepower and the force of arcane might to achieve your goals. Will you succeed in your quest, or will you wind up as just another lost name in the wind? Good luck scaled hero, you're going to need it!"

Welcome back to the Second Installment of Guncaster Vindicated! I'm very excited to see what you guys will do with the new amazing content produced by pillowblaster with the Vindicated challenge.
An Introduction for Guncaster fans and newcomers:
What's new?!?!
-Monsters are faster, smarter, and more deadly than ever before! If you thought this was going to be a casual slaughterfest, be on your guard or you'll be the one getting slaughtered!
-Mini-bosses for DOOM! : These new enemies will show up randomly in the later levels and sport some tremendous firepower and special abilities. They'll show no mercy so be on your game.
-Full new monster pack for heretic and Hexen! : Ready to get Medieval? New monsters for heretic/hexen to include dynamic progression in the same style that is applied to doom. Monsters are quicker, smarter, and more powerful than the old school monsters. New bosses are included for the original heretic/hexen missions.
-Choose your path! DraughSuit and Powersuit are now exclusive powerups that give their own unique feel to the game, with powersuit being more about brute force and playing like a walking tank, Draughsuit is more about quick reflexes and mana/cooldown management to completely avoid damage and slowly scale in power to become a true riftwalking void monster.
-New Abilities : Execute mechanic! When fighting in melee, dropping tougher enemies (more than 200HP) below a certain threshold will trigger a true executing uppercut that will deal tremendously more damage than your basic attacks or non-executing uppercuts. Shockwave: Your stomp with the heavy duty Stompers will now send a bone shattering wall of concussive force at your enemies, the more stompers you have collected, the farther the shockwave will travel! (performing a stomp attack from the air will still trigger the impalers)
-Fight Dirty! : Knock your weaker foes to the ground and give them a beatdown! Uppercuts and kicks will send most human-sized enemies onto their butts. When fighting burlier enemies, launch a well placed kick into their nether regions to leave them writhing in pain while you pound them to mush!
-Dynamic Progession superweapons: Your superweapons (powersuits and BFGs) are contained in a large black weapons case that selects your weapon based on what you already have. No more hoping for a powersuit when you've already collected old dreadful for the 4th time! This new chest will make sure you are granted something that will help you toward your goal of ultimate power every time.
-New special Item effects: Some items have been changed to perform new functions. Try everything out, and check the shop descriptions if you are confused.
-Punching speed re-tuned: base melee seemed too fast and silly to me, so I slowed it down, powersuit melee felt slow and clunky, so I sped it up. Powersuit also features a new style of charged punch that fires an air ripping blast that will tear through enemies.
-Bosses that are vulnerable to certain damage types: Use heavy duty weapons to take down big enemies. When fighting the biggest ugliest smelliest nasties, bring out your Matriarch, Ironblast, and Augur to give them some munitions fit for their size.
-ALL teh immersions!!! : New barrel wielding animations for when you feel the need to fling acid at your foes. Unleash your inner Edgy Boi and taunt your enemies (This has the bonus effect of drawing attention away from vulnerable allies)! Climb into crouchable spaces (cmon... how could I make this compatible with Mark's maps and not let you climb into ventillation ducts ;p). New Dynamically animated player sprites that include sprites for Crouching, Jumping, and even walking while firing your weapon! (holy shit I spent wayyy too much time on these... )
P.S. Whatever you do, don't look down.
-Random Damage be damned : All randomized damage has been removed to allow maximum control of difficulty. Now getting hit still feels like a punishment for screwing up, but doesn't feel like you're being cheated. Now you'll be able to accurately calculate how much damage you can or cannot take.
-Spells Balanced around low mana recovery : New spells will cause HUGE damage, but your mana recovery is slow, so use them wisely.
-Full Dynamic Progression : You will face stronger and naster enemies the further you progress through your favorite map packs! Recurring Nightmare is now fully supported with dynamic progression!
-Monster Customization : New switch in gameplay options to allow you to choose which monsters you'll face if you don't like dynamic progresssion. You can pick all weak monsters if you'd like to just smash everything once you get a powersuit, or all high level monsters if you really really just "Wanna be the Guy". I've even included a setting to play against the OldSchool monsters if you're really into that sort of thing, I took the liberty of re-balancing their attacks as well, so you can get a proper Vindicated experience even from them.
-Fully faithful to Strife : You can still play these other games freely with Guncaster Vindicated, Your weapons and spells should still be able to handle these monsters and their damage shouldn't be too unbearable to play.
-Quick Use Items : Toggleable Riftwalking, quick activation Berserk/Gunzerk/IronlizardPot and much more! just check the Mod controls section!
-Unique Endings for Official Games, Extermination Day, and Pirate Doom!!! Make sure to defeat the final bosses to see them!
