Description |
Merciless Edition II is a modification of the reverse engineered Doom 64 source code, with the goal of adding new features and accessibility options. The primary focus on compatibility is Nintendo 64 hardware, but it works on emulators too. Some of the features include texture filtering modes, extended brightness, dithering, colored HUD, automap stats, optimizations, bug fixes, and more! On top of that it has a "Be Merciless" difficulty mode which makes the monsters more aggressive and unpredictable, but gives the players a boost in terms of ammo and weapon switching. Intended for an overall more violent experience for those who dare.
List of Features:
- New "Be Merciless!" difficulty makes the enemies more relentless, unpredictable, and agile. The player gets some boosts too!
- Menus have been reorganized for easier access, new defaults, and to accommodate the new extra features.
- New autorun and motion bob options. Motion bob can be disabled to reduce motion sickness and autorun helps with movement speed.
