UAC Ultra 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 UAC Ultra.

To install UAC Ultra, 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 setup of this megawad is that it takes place after Mars has been lost and demons have taken it over completely. The UAC research facilities remain, however, and there is sensitive information inside. This megawad retextures everything and really leans into the dingy, rusted metal UAC base look. The contrast between that and the blood red Martian landscape is a work of art.

This is a mostly run and gun set of maps. While the pace can feel a bit slow due to spending a ton of time with a single barrel shotgun, automatic weapons really speed the gameplay up. There are also two new monsters that will keep you on your toes, forcing you to strafe in different ways to stay alive.

Overall, this is a great new take on the DOOM map formula, with the textures really giving it a unique feel. If you're a fan of DOOM, you should definitely download UAC Ultra.
