Interception 1.0

DOOM is one of the oldest FPSes in existence, and its engine is famously so robust that it can run on pretty much anything and also create pretty much anything.  From FPSes to RPGs to companions to a city living game, it has a ton of different mods and maps that can all do different things. There are even full campaigns created called megawads. One of many is Interception.

To install Interception, you need to have ZDoom and move the WAD file into the GZDoom folder, which is pretty par for the course for DOOM maps.

The story of this megawad is bare bones. You're part of a military team sent to investigate a distress signal at a dig site. Once you arrive, demons kill everyone but you and then you kill all the demons. While it's a simple story, the setting gives it a ton of potential for interesting locales. There are ancient bases, a demonic metropolis, and of course, Hell. Despite all this, however, the textures are all vanilla.

Due to a ton of different authors, the maps all have their own unique flavor. There are short, action packed outings and large, action packed maps. You'll feel it towards the end as the maps get more and more intense towards the end. There are a ton of standout moments.

Overall, Interception is an incredibly solid megawad where you can see a ton of different design philosophies at play. If that's something that sounds interesting to you, you should give it a download.
