Information

Doom: Dawn of Souls is a modification which adds more weapons to the game, with a twist. The mod is based on Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Or Aria of Sorrow), which had a unique system which allowed the character to occasionaly gain souls from killing enemies and bosses, which gave him powers and abilities to make him stronger. The ablilities and powers are based on the monster that the soul belonged to.

Doom: Dawn of Souls adds a similar concept to the Doom world. Now, upon killing monsters, you get a chance of them dropping a soul. The soul will automaticly be absorbed by the player and he will be given a new weapon. The weapons are based on the monsters "soul", so for example, gaining an imp soul will give you the power to throw imp fireballs.

Soul weapons use Mana, which is also gained from souls. Every soul you collect regains all your mana (200), even if you already have that soul. Depending on what soul weapon you're using depends on how much mana it will take.

The DECORATE mod is being created by Cutmanmike. However, it uses a certain feature which WILL REQUIRE GZDoom due to certain feature required for this mod to work.
