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.
