Brief Backstory:

---

In the dark corners of hell, objects of immense power are held to never be wielded by mortals again.
In the haste of exploring Hell, mortals had discovered once again discovered these tomes of might, unknowing to their effects.
Following the Invasion, Man had discovered the true might of hell and it's denizens. Your understanding of this situation is clear.
Now is time to strike. The beasts have claimed stake across the surface of Deimos, Phobos, and even The Earth itself.
You understand your role, my servant. Now, Take upon yourself these tomes of power and be given the gift of eternity.

Become, the Naku-Naru. He who is without.

Weapons:

---

1- Crescent Staff.

From the darkest, deepest depths of the underworld, this blade of woe will make
even the cruelest of monsters quiver in terror from its great power.
It's small enough to have another weapon in hand and still use, but with such a punch most enemies
will falter quickly to its might. Keep it close in hand.

2- Miroku Police .38 Special.
Formerly a popular police revolver, The Miroku is a Solid, Accurate .38 Special Revolver similar
to iconic Colt .38 Revolvers like the Model 10. Not a particularly legendary weapon,
but one which will serve its duty nonetheless.

3- Model 1887.

5 rounds, 5 chances to hit something. The Model 1887 is legendary for its
size and power and makes a great onscreen profile. Incredibly powerful up close,
but ineffective at larger ranges, this powerhouse will generally make quick work
of most enemies you come across. Unfortunately, not magazine-fed, it requires
that you reload each round individually. Not much of an issue with you,
however.

4- Minebea PM-9.

Popular with both the Japanese Armed Forces and the Yakuza, the Minebea
PM-9 is a highly effective and fast-firing SMG. A variant of the legendary
Uzi, it's fire rate is somewhere between the mini and micro.
1100 RPM is little to snuff, especially in such a compact size. Small
enough to use in one hand, it's highly effective for crowd control, and allows
you to slice up any nearby enemies if they get too close.

5- Carl Gustav M2.

Made initially for an anti-tank purpose, the Carl-Gustav is now yours
to wield, if for shock value over anything. Of course, due to its sheer
size, you're not able to melee while using it, but it's little issue. Great for
crowd control. Don't know whether or not you're gonna be able to shoot any
actual tanks with it, however.

6- Arisaka Type 99.

Powerful, if a little slow to fire and load, the Type 99 is
iconic for its use in the Pacific theatre. As with most examples, this variant
comes with a bayonet. Since it's so large, you can't really use your blade one-handed,
so having its bayonet is incredibly helpful in regards to close enemies.
Banzai charging included!

6 - Nambu Type 99 LMG.

A Japanese Copy of the formidable Bren LMG, The Nambu Type-99 LMG, now
yours to wield. Slow to fire, with heavy recoil, the Type-99 LMG punches hard
and takes no prisoners. 7.7x58mm served in full-auto fire is nothing to snuff,
especially at around 600 RPM. It's too large to allow use with a melee weapon, so
it's best to be careful when enemies are up close.

(Optional)6 - Howa Type 89 Assault Rifle.

Based on the AR-18 design, The Howa Type 89 is Japan's current main service rifle. Firing at about
750 RPM, it's faster than the Type 99 Howa, and even has it's own ammo type distinct from it when selected.
However, it does less damage has a lower capacity, making it a different sort of weapon to use compared to the Type 99 Howa.
Still too large to use with a melee weapon, but comes with a stylish reload.

7. Yorick.
Let me see. (takes the skull) Alas, poor Yorick!
I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.
He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my
imagination it is!


Very Limited Inventory Space due to sheer power, Use very carefully.
Does an Immense amount of Damage in a Single attack.

So this is a weapon mod? A little more info in the description would be nice. That test map looks really cool do you plan on making some cool maps like that to use this mod with?

yeah sorry about that, updated everything to clarify what this whole mod is about.

THIS IS SOME SERIOUSLY GOOD SHIT

Pretty outstanding, really! The gunplay feels AWESOME, the weapon selection is good (along with the StG44, the Type99 is one of my favorite weapons and i never seen it properly used in any mod until now), and i know that you'll fix the things that gotta be fixed, so i won't leave any nitpicks for now.

So i might as well give a contribution, hope you like it:

thanks a ton! i'll make sure to include this sprite in the next patch, it looks great!

[thewolfman00001]

This mod is pretty awesome, but the shotgun is quite underpowered especially when compared to all the other weapons you get during playtime. Is there any chance for the shotgun to be buffed in a future update?

definitely, i've had my own grips with the shotgun, and i'm most certainly gonna make changes to the shotgun in the next patch.

[Valherran]

Just did a quick romp through Doom 2, and this MOD is pretty decent. Weapons are alright for the most part, though I feel the mag size on the automatics could be larger as it is problematic to use in some instances. The shotgun and the revolver kinda swapped rolls with the way they handle, mostly due to the revolver putting out roughly double the damage than the shotgun. If you are open to some suggestions, a Weapon Upgrade Pickup system would work well with this and could solve the problem with the low mag sizes on some weapons. There would be a chance that a weapon upgrade would spawn somewhere in the map in place of the weapon pickup in question. The PM-9 could get extended mags up to 50 rounds, and the Nambu could get a 100 round pan mag. For 1887 and revolver you could dual wield these as an upgrade, and maybe give the Arisaka a scope. Crescent Blade could get a list of new attacks as well as some range. The M2 also has a lot of possibilities to explore since that weapon can fire lots of different ammunition like flares and gas bombs, I'll leave that one to you, along with the Yorick.

Very impressive and neat Gameplay Mod. The Weapon Handling, Animation, Sound Effects are decent yet powerful! it's amazing to see that there are more Samurai Doom mods coming! And it has some Japanese Weaponry going on and i found it interesting as well. However, lack of Extra Movement Benefits/Actions and Traditional Ninja Weaponry are gets me. But looks great nonetheless!

---

- The Sickle Weapon is not Widescreen-Friendly. And is there any difference between the Blade Attack and the Rear one? I don't think so. Especially on Damage input nor Knock-back.

- Sickle and Arisaka's Bayonet doesn't get affected by the Berserk.

- I do hope the player would get more randomized voice clips during the beginning. I found him very Honorable with the voice!

- Every Weapons except the Sickle, Carl Gustav M2, Minebea PM-9, Arisaka Rifle and Yorick are wrongfully adjusted - They do not follow the Crosshair straightforward.

- Revolver, Rifle and Shotgun Casings tends to play their bouncing sound effect too early. Once it's spawned, they plays it anyways.

- Speaking of Casing and the bouncing sound effect, Revolver one is WAY TOO LOUD!

- Wall Touching Sound is loud, too. And that Tic part at the end is... Pretty unpleasant to hear.

- Carl Gustav M2's Caliber is 84mm. Right? Then i wonder why it uses 40mm Grenades? Which is smaller to fit in and it sounds pretty comical.

- Some Weapons acts pretty weird once i hold down the Reload Key. Minebea PM-9 shakes constantly, Nambu LMG, Arisaka Rifle and 1887 Shotgun repeats its Reloading Animation.

- Yorick's Projectile spawns BFG blast effect when enemies get radiated by it.

- Shotgun Shells and Boxes are not randomized. Perhaps creating their own Spawners to spawn Shells AND 7.7mm ammo might be very useful.

That's about it. And call me crazy, but i'd like to see more WW2 Japanese Weapons in this mod. I'm not a big fan of their Weaponry, to be honest. But this might be very educating!

[MFG38]

I'm a simple man. I see a thread about something Japan-inspired, I click on it.

The general aesthetic in the screenshots looks roughly like my vision for a Shadow Warrior-esque TC I had once. Anyway, downloading as I write this - I'll give it a spin shortly. c:

[Jeimuzu73]

This heavily reminds me of DuduKrazy's Guns III, and to a lesser extent DGradys (but much more polished, heh.)

an incredibly useful list of things to improve, thank you. a lot of these are easy to patch, and are a result of some minor errors i overlooked. already fixed the line with the box of 84mm slugs, that was just a mistake i made since the decorate used to program that had been taken from a mod i never finished. expect a lot of these being fixed next update.

[Toberone]

Wow really cool weapon mod out of the blue, this looks and feels great, weapons feel like they have a lot of impact and its just fun in general.

Something weird about the shotgun tho, sometimes when you fire it it seems like frames of it are veering off to the left of the screen for no reason and im not sure why that is. I'm not sure what causes it either, seems like its fine then all of a sudden it spazzes out. Not sure if Im really describing it well either but its a somewhat common occurrence on my end.

yeah, it's an issue with the way i did animations at the time. all the weapons use offsets instead of just going frame to frame, and with the ability to altfire and melee, the shotgun can get confused as to where it's located on the screen. it's an issue i fully intend to patch, the shotgun is going to get a major upgrade and overhaul in the next patch.

[EddieMann]

A most gorgeous weapon mod, by far one of the best i've ever played! Guns feel absolutely natural to use with little a round wasted, sounds are amazing, and just plays amazingly overall.

Only issues so far is the shotgun being slightly too high up perspective-wise and not being too effective at longer ranges similar to other shotguns, arisaka bayonet thrust could use a little more "punch", odd "zoom" glitch with the Karl Gustav after deselecting and reselecting it, being able to reload even when you're out of ammo, as with this "doomslayer" error I got from loading a save after I died.


Also, maybe a different font as well? Sorry if it's too much or already been said.
