This mod is based on the Nintendo DS game named Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and its recent remake on the 3DS, as well as other MegaTen games. This mod was basically memed into existence. I originally posted version 1.0 and version 2.0 of the mod on /smtg/ (4chan), but I figured it was time to make a thread about it.
Here are the most important features:
- Doom II monster sprites have been replaced with Shin Megami Tensei demon sprites. For example, Imp has been replaced by Hua Po. Their movement and behavior remain largely the same, but there are some differences.
- Many additional demons, with custom-implemented behavior and attacks.
- The demons have weaknesses and resistances to certain elements, and can even null and repel certain attack types. The weaknesses/resistances are determined by their counterparts in the original DS game.
- Some of the main character's weapons have been replaced with "elemental" counterparts: the shotgun shoots fire, the SSG shoots ice, the pistol can shoot both electricity and poison.
- The main character can pick up demon-summoning programs which are accessed using the 8, 9 and 0 keys. This allows for summoning a maximum of 38 different demons to aid you.
- Map 01 has been replaced with the first floor of Sector Antlia from Strange Journey.
- Map 02 has been replaced with the third basement floor of the Basilica from Shin Megami Tensei 1.
- Map 03 has been replaced with the first floor of Sector Eridanus.
- Map 32 contains a superboss and is accessible from secret exits present in all maps above.
