Strange Aeons

Strange Aeons is a partial-conversion mod for The Ultimate Doom that allows you to play five completely new episodes where you will not only be able to go through new settings, but you can also mow down new enemies using all kinds of weapons. In total, you will find more than forty levels set in a range of locations as diverse as war zones and snowy mountains.

Drag and play

To play Strange Aeons, you will only need two things: the original files of The Ultimate Doom (although Doom II files are also valid) and to have GZDoom installed. If you meet these two requirements, the only thing left to do is to drag the strangeaeonsexp.pk3 file to the GZDoom executable. As soon as you do so, the game will run and you will be able to start a new game.

Five action-packed episodes

The story of Strange Aeons takes you through five different episodes with a total of 45 levels. Both the general atmosphere and many of the game's settings are inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft, something that the very name of the mod suggests. Many of the locations where you will have to face the enemy hordes have a somewhat generic look, but others will allow you to explore places as memorable as the Plateau of Leng and R'lyeh itself, the city where Cthulhu rests.

New enemies and many surprises

Although you will encounter some familiar faces when you start playing Strange Aeons, it won't be long before you start seeing new monsters. Throughout the different episodes of the game, you will have to confront the fearsome Deep Ones, as well as dimensional wanderers and stellar vampires. All these monsters are directly inspired by the Cthulhu Myths. In total, you will be able to shoot more than twenty different enemies, each with their own unique characteristics.

New weapons and powers too

Luckily, to face the new enemies in Strange Aeons, you will have a few equally new weapons. Whenever you start an episode from scratch, you will have in your possession the Scepter of Souls, a short-range weapon capable of devouring the spirit of any enemy. And if the Scepter fails, you can always resort to the machine gun or the crossbow, both excellent options to destroy multiple enemies in a very short time.
