“Devil Daggers” Reinvisioned With Mod For “Doom” Called “DaggerHell”
Once again, the Doom modding community comes through.
You may or may not remember 2016’s throwback to Doom in Sorath’s Devil Daggers, which was meant to be a homage to the classic FPS games of the 90s (namely id’s Doom). The game put you through hell in its arena-based combat, facing waves of demons, with magic daggers as your only means of defense.
Well, leave it to Doom II modder mindlord_17 to take that game and mash it up with Doom in DaggerHell! Like Devil Daggers, you’re put in an arena, facing hordes of imps, Pain Elementals, Arachnotrons and more. The player shoots flames from their fingertips in either a shotgun or machine gun-style fire mode.
The mod increases the player’s speed to match the frenetic pace of Devil Daggers, as well as having enemies drop energy crystals to be used as ammunition. You can see from the trailer below just how crazy it gets.
Keep in mind that there are two versions: The first, DaggerHell, was released in early September, but the author wasn’t satisfied with the results. The latest version, DaggerHell: Overkill (which you can grab here), is described as a “more faithful incarnation of DaggerHell“. Regardless, you can try out either version and see which one suits your fancy.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
