it wasn't so much the theme as it was, and is, the graphics. I can play horror-style games, but with a game like Doom the horror-style + gameplay is just too intense. I'd love a similar game with a less intense theme.
For example, I can handle Nintendo-style cutesy graphics even if the gameplay is really difficult (Celeste, for one).
- grawprog 7y agoHmmm how about: https://store.steampowered.com/app/371180/Super_3D_Noahs_Ark/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/371180/Super_3D_Noahs_Ark... It's actually made with the original doom engine.
- mercer 7y agohaha, that's hilarious. Positive reviews too?!
- grawprog 7y agoI've heard it's pretty bad, or at least the snes version is, but it's one of those games with kind of a cult following. I have no idea about the steam version, though it says it has some improvements. As far as I know this is one of the only non-horrific/grotesque games made on the doom engine.
- mercer 7y agoThat's a shame. I mean, it's not so much that I'm all hung up on avoiding 'non-christian' themes. It's more that I don't react well to horror stuff and a lot of the best games have a lot of that (Dark Souls, The Last of Us, Doom). I wish I could just not care about the surface-level skinning, but it affects me nonetheless. At least with horror movies I can cover my eyes or part of the screen!
