== Brutal Doom: Black Edition v3.

1e ==

This mod brings lots of improvements on gameplay, visual and sound design, visual
effects, and massive changes of all game aspects in general over the original
Brutal Doom. It also adds new unique stuffs and shows the vision of the game by
team Blackmore1014, Iddqd_Idkfa_Idclip, Doomsmile, Bifurcator, Vsonnier.

"Brutal Doom: Black Edition" is a dark, serious, realistic and meaningful vision of
the original Brutal Doom.

The mod follows the serious, evil and creepy atmosphere of original Doom franchise:
"Black Edition" combines large battles and speed of classic Doom with a meaningful
realism, the dark and atmospheric aesthetic of Doom 3 and the dynamics of modern
stuffs found in Doom 2016.

The mod also focuses on diversity of game, but take care of preserving the original
style and atmosphere of the original Doom I/II.

"Black Edition" offers plenty of skill levels and gameplay modifications (see FATUM
menu below skill levels) that would fit cowards and heroes alike. On higher
difficulties though, it turns to a not forgiving hardcore mod where the Doom Slayer
is always on the verge of succumbing which should be a challenge for the most
skilled players.

If you are either bothered by regular Brutal Doom, or want both modern and
conservative vision of the game with new unique stuffs, experience it with "Brutal
Doom: Black Edition".
