‘Doom’ Meets ‘Friday the 13th’ in the ‘Friday the 13th: Jason’s Doom’ Total Conversion [Video]

Doom has featured a lot of mods and total conversions from some very creative people over its 30 years, and they just keep on coming. Doom designer John Romero blessed fans with SIGIL II a few weeks back, and now modders Gokuma and Kontra Kommando have given Doom fans and fans of the LJN classic (or not, depending on your point of view) Friday The 13th for the NES a treat with which to head into 2024: Friday The 13th: Jason’s Doom, a total conversion of the NES sidescroller into Doom.

Currently still in beta over at ModDB, Friday The 13th: Jason’s Doom takes after the NES game, but this time, it’s Doomguy having to hunt down Jason and defeat him. Gokuma and Kontra have done an amazing job of taking the NES game’s graphics and sounds into Doom, recreating the map of Crystal Lake and the cabins. They’ve even made it so Jason is always going around the map after spawning at one of few random spots, with musical cues to let you know whether he’s in a cabin or attacking/killing someone.

The music from the NES game has been remade for the mod, which doesn’t quite sound like the NES chiptunes, but really, it’s darn close. If that’s not enough, you can configure it so that you and you friends can join a game and split up to take on Jason! Future updates look to tweak more of the weapons to be in line with the NES game, along with the usual bugfixes.

Thanks to reader ManiacalMike for the heads up (and Lee nocisum for the video)!

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
