This mode makes Doom in RTS using Age of Empires 2

[ad_1]

Age of Empires 2 is a top-tier game and an enduring gaming success. Doom is also the highest level and hit of all time. Modder HELLKNIGHT61 was aware of these two things, and they used the Age of Empires 2 engine to make Doom a third person, isometric RTS…shooter…thing.

“I wanted to bring to life the original DOOM for Age of Empires 2 game engine,” HELLKNIGHT61 says in his description of the model. “That was my dream.”

The Age of Doom mod for Age of Empires 2 is a campaign that conveys the ideas, themes, and story parts from both Doom and Doom 3, while sampling the sound and enemies from both. Notably, it implements sprites, projectiles, and effects from the original Doom into the Age of Empires 2 engine. So, Doomguy rambles around and uses a super hunting rifle, sure, but there’s also electronic demons, pinky, and everything else you’d expect to see. Its tutorial and campaign have four chapters, with a fifth chapter yet to be released.

Everything reminds me of the days of custom Warcraft games, to be honest. Is this something you should try to do with an RTS engine? I don’t know, but HELLKNIGHT61 made the dream come true – who am I to deny it? You can find Age of Doom on ModDB.
