BRUTAL DOOM V22 by SgtMarkIV is of course one of the most known DOOM mods, here with the Spectacle Creep Knee Deep In the Dead Remaster WAD played on the Ultra-Violence difficulty level with 100% Secrets explored. Spectacle Creep at the moment is a one episode long remaster of Ultimate Doom, that has a total remake of the first episode known as Knee Deep in the Dead, known as being the best one. The levels are expanded a lot, but if you know the structure of the levels in Ultimate Doom, here they won't be way too different from original, but the expansion is clearly visible. In most of the maps, the beginning of the levels are expanded and you start in the different areas than in the original, most of the times it is outside a complex building. A fantastic aspect of this remaster in my opinion is the music, it has one of the greatest OSTs used so far, plus the soundtrack fits the action on screen - for example when you cross a tagged area, the soundtrack changes. If you are familiar with Knee Deep in the Dead from the original, I think that first playthrough of full episode without secrets might take you over an hour. But first things first in terms of the mappack, the difficulty is not that high - like in the original, you also have the Ultimate Doom Shareware related monsters so only Zombies, Shotgunners, Imps and Pinkies. To play this WAD you also need to load this mandatory with the Ultimate Doom WAD - otherwise you will just load any different level, it must be E1M1 as a starting map. BUT there is a one change when compared to the Knee Deep in the Dead - here you actually can obtain a Plasma Rifle, at least few times, for the first time it's in the E1M9 Military Base in the room near exit. As maps here are a little bit different, plus the last two maps are slightly more difficult, the Plasma Rifle is really handy here, especially against the Bruiser Brothers who of course are final bosses. The remaster of Knee Deep in the Dead has also some narrative elements - for example you have some background information about the Phobos invasion from the local UAC facility guard and scientist.
