This mod transforms Doom into a terrifying tactical shooter, and it's partly inspired by another PC gaming classic
Blackout makes Doom slower, deadlier, and throws in a Crysis-style energy suit for good measure.
A mod called Blackout transforms the classic game Doom into a tactical shooter, inspired partly by the PC game Crysis. The mod, created by PKmX, makes several changes to Doom's gameplay. Players move slowly and have decreased fragility, using real-life firearms with accurate damage and recoil. Enemies retain their classic Doom appearances but have been modified to suit tactical gameplay.
A stealth and awareness system is introduced, where gunfire alerts monsters, while remaining quiet allows players to sneak past unseen. Blackout also features an energy suit with an energy shield and an adrenaline system for a speed boost when near death, as well as a cloaking device that makes the player nearly undetectable by enemies.
The mod emphasizes action and combat over strategy and resource management, aiming to avoid becoming an inventory simulator. A palette mod is recommended to make the levels darker, fitting Blackout's ominous tone. Blackout is currently available in playable alpha on Zandronum and UZDoom.
