This mod received one of the 2012 Cacowards on Doomworld in the Gameplay Mod category! |
Russian Overkill is a gameplay mod for GZDoom, created by Maciej Banowski (PillowBlaster). As of June 21, 2023, the current version is 3.0e. The mod replaces the player's arsenal with a wide variety of ludicrously powerful weapons, ranging from automatic shotguns with ten barrels to dark matter cannons. In order to rectify the sheer imbalance of gameplay brought about by the weapons, the mod also defines a new set of skill levels, that primarily affect monster health. Players can also choose to play as one of three characters, who differ in their appearance, starting weapons, and special combo attacks.
The first version of the mod was released on June 2, 2012, alonside an expansion pack entitled Reinforcements from Moldova, which featured fourteen additional weapons and a new item, all of which were later integrated into the main mod. Together, Russian Overkill and its expansion were named Best Gameplay Mod at the 19th Annual Cacowards.
