However, the remake of “Duke Caribbean” doesn’t include the custom weapon/enemy sprites from the original.Īlthough these seem to be reasonably close in design to the originals, they include lots of new “humourous” background details ( which are a bit “hit and miss”), a few epic battles ( with friendly NPCs offering support), new bosses, new ending sequences and even new music too. In addition to a new five-level campaign ( featuring large, challenging and non-linear urban, sci-fi and underwater levels) one really cool feature is that this mod also includes fan remakes of the “Duke It Out In D.C.” and “Duke Caribbean” expansion packs too. So, I should probably start by talking about the levels. Yes, some elements of the mod have a very clearly-defined target audience ( and whether you enjoy them or not will depend on whether you are part of it) and some of the humour is a bit random, but – on the whole – it is one of the best “Duke 3D” mods that I’ve ever seen. On a technical level, this mod is extremely impressive. “Alien Armageddon” is a very extensive mod for “Duke Nukem 3D” which adds new weapons, monsters, NPCs, dialogue, costumes, menus, music, graphics, levels, gameplay mechanics, playable characters and pretty much everything.
So, let’s take a look at “Alien Armageddon”: Plus, I should probably also include some kind of content warning for the mod itself – since it makes the original “Duke 3D” look fairly “PG-rated” by comparison.
I either played version 2.0, 2.10 or 2.15 for this review – probably 2.15.ĮDIT : Yes, the version of the mod I reviewed is now an out-of-date one – with the current version now apparently including extra levels etc… that weren’t in the older version I reviewed here. It is also likely that a later version of this mod will have been released by the time this review (from August 2019) goes out. I used an older version of the Atomic Edition of “Duke Nukem 3D” with this mod and I don’t know whether or not it works with more modern re-issues of the game. Since I write these reviews quite far in advance and was still waiting for the full version of “Ion Fury” to release at the time of writing, I was in the mood for a Build Engine game. Well, although I’d originally planned to review a “Doom II” WAD today, I got distracted by a mod for “Duke Nukem 3D” called “ Alien Armageddon” which I discovered after seeing reviews of it on Youtube.
