{{stub}}'''Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl''' is a 2008 computer game which runs on the [[ZDoom]] engine. It was mainly developed by [[Stephen Browning (Scuba Steve)|Stephen Browning]], with [[ACS]] scripting by [[Mike Watson (Cyb)|Mike Watson]] and [[James Bauer (Isle)|James Bauer]]. It is the prequel to the [[total conversion]] [[Action Doom]], but has a different style of gameplay. Whereas the first Action Doom was a sidescrolling [[Wikipedia:Shoot 'em up|shoot 'em up]] using [[Doom]]'s first-person perspective, Action Doom 2 instead simulates a [[Wikipedia:Beat 'em up|beat 'em up]]. It  == The Project ==[[image:action_doom_2.png|300px|thumb|Urban Brawl's cel-shaded graphics]]Development on Urban Brawl began in 2004 just months after release of the original Action Doom. Instead of egregious advertising, like the original, the project remained entirely unknown to the community until the day of release. Urban Brawl features a distinct comic book art style, with colorful scenery and characters rendered entirely in [[Wikipedia:cel-shaded animation|cel-shading]]. The game's enemy roster was drawn on paper, scanned and coloured. Similar to Beat 'em ups, many characters are a mere palette swap of previous enemies. Instead of using Doom's engine to calculate light, the lighting is texture based. Objects and walls cast black shadows when seen in sunlight and blue textures were used to simulate a moonlight appearance. The game can run either with any version 2.2.0+ of ZDoom using the [[Doom II]] [[IWAD]], or with its own included executable, requiring no IWAD to run.
Outside of gameplay, the story is told mainly through black and white, [[Wikipedia:film noir|film noir]]-style cutscenes inspired by ''[[Wikipedia:Sin City|Sin City]]''. [[Darknation]] wrote most of the dialogue and cutscenes, while [[Mike Lightner (Mancubus II)|Mike Lightner]] contributed the voiceovers. The story can branch off in different paths depending on the player's actions, and features multiple possible endings.
