Are there any mods that make Chex Quest 3 more difficult by changing the monsters?

Post by rightj223 »

The problem with Chex Quest 3 is that it's too easy. Weaker monsters only have melee attacks, and monsters with projectile attacks don't have melee attacks. And why? All to fit the game's target demographic. It's a shame, because Chex Quest has great level design. I'm looking for a mod that makes the flemoids (monsters) more dangerous by giving them new attacks, which could be accomplished through one of these two things: a mod that replaces the flemoids' actors with ones that have more dangerous attacks, or a universal mod that can give custom monsters new attacks. The only standalone mod I found that replaces the actors directly is this, which doesn't give the monsters any new attacks. As for universal mods, there are some that can change the behavior of custom monsters, but they're not really what I'm looking for regarding this subject specifically.

Corruption Cards: Can give monsters new abilities, but I don't know if any cards can give projectile attacks to the weaker enemies. Besides, any monster modifications you get from this mod all come down to luck.
LegenDoom Lite: As the page says, "Legendary" monsters are utterly random.
Champions: This mod does have a lot of interesting monster modifications, but IIRC it doesn't give CQ3's lower melee-only monsters any new attacks.
Universal Entropy: Randomizes monsters' health, damage, size, color and voice pitches, but doesn't seem to give them any new attacks.

Am I out of luck if I want a mod for CQ3 that makes the monsters more dangerous?

Some other things to note:

The version of CQ3 I have is 1.4. This is not the version hosted on Chucktropolis. Version 1.4 of CQ3 is here.
This mod combo contains a modified version of Samsara that replaces the Flemoids with ones that have more dangerous projectile attacks, but from what I remember, it's ridiculously unbalanced.
