Have you ever played Doom but thought "why isn't this game turn based?". I mean being able to play a historic adrenaline pumping first person shooter is nice, but what if it was 3rd person, top down and with inferior technology? I had the same thought and luckily for all of us Doom RL is here to answer our demands. Doom RL is a roguelike that manages to stay very close to the original Doom while incorporating all the roguelikes features we know and love (even if you're never played a roguelike you'll love it). Its genius is the fusion between the Doom and the RL. It even got a graphical update recently for the casuals out there like me. And there's no need for a kickstarter here, because the game is free.
(why don't you grab the game here and we can play together)
The title screen. A good bro suggested I start this LP after he was incapable of finishing the game. Don't worry, I've got you.
Here is my player card. Pro. I'm kind of good at this game.
I've never cheated or anything. I've never checked the wiki except once or twice to better understand how some stats work. Some things I may not know, others I do. The fun with every roguelike is figuring everything out. Doom RL has 5 levels of badges, endless challenges and serious difficulty levels. This is a game that keeps on giving.
I'll start a new game. Every update with be for 1 level. Since there are around 30 levels, there will be 30 updates. That is unless I die.
When I die, the LP is over. Only 1 chance, whatever the RNG throws at me. The game will be on the 2nd difficulty level. It opens up a lot of things that are barred in the first difficulty and it's reasonably challenging. I am so confident that I will succeed that I want to use the LP to showcase some type of safe build that everyone can try. This build will reduce the RNG you have to deal with hopefully, so follow along and maybe you'll learn a thing or two.
But you have an opportunity to screw me, as always is the case on the Codex. YOU get to choose my class. There are three classes to choose from. Classes mostly differ in what advanced traits they get to have. So a different class means a completely different build.
The BRO, I mean the Marine. Marines have 60 HP instead of 50 and they receive 50% duration bonus from power ups.
The Scout. The scout does everything 10% faster and can see all stair tiles right away. I recommend you vote for this one.
The Technician. He can use items without a time delay, gets more map information from computers, can modify unique weapons and starts with a weapon mod in his inventory.
Vote away! Sometimes next week the poll will be closed and Phobos will await...
