Created by modder PKmX, it&#8217;s designed to provide &#8220;tactical military simulation-based gameplay that focuses on slow methodical clearing&#8221;, according to a breakdown posted on the<a href=\"https:\/\/forum.zdoom.org\/viewtopic.php?t=81639\" target=\"_blank\"> ZDoom forums<\/a>, with players expected to &#8220;hide behind covers and execute proper breaching techniques to maximise chances of survival.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The mod makes several radical changes to Doom&#8217;s basic playstyle. Movement is much slower, while your character is significantly more fragile. Weapons are based on real-life firearms that feature ADS and reloading, with damage and recoil that reflects their calibre, fire-rate, and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>The enemies you face remain classic Doom monsters, but PKmX says their behaviours have been &#8220;tweaked to suit tactical gameplay&#8221;. Attacks are deadlier but take longer to charge, and they can both suppress you and be suppressed by you. There&#8217;s also a stealth and awareness system where gunfire draws monsters to your location, while remaining quiet may enable you to sneak past enemies unseen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/BZlBCpaBKys\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In motion, Blackout reminds me a lot of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/uk\/stalker-shadow-of-chornobyl\/\"> Stalker<\/a>, with relatively slow movement but highly reactive (and vicious) gunplay. Surprisingly though, this isn&#8217;t the inspiration that PKmX cites. Apparently, Blackout draws significantly from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/uk\/crysis\/\"> Crysis<\/a>, right down to featuring an energy suit inspired by Crytek&#8217;s nanosuit. Not only does this feature a damage-absorbing energy shield and an &#8220;adrenaline system&#8221; that provides a speed boost when near death, but it also includes a cloaking device which temporarily makes the player &#8220;almost undetectable&#8221; by enemies.<\/p>\n<p>I think this goes a long way to explain why Blackout looks as good as it does. While Blackout is clearly a more methodical shooter than Doom, the emphasis remains on action and combat rather than the strategy and resource management layer of other tactical shooters. Indeed, a commenter on PKmX&#8217;s video asks whether the game will feature magazine management, to which the modder responds &#8220;one of the goals of this mod is to avoid becoming an inventory simulator.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you fancy giving Blackout a go yourself, you can download it via the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doomworld.com\/forum\/topic\/159860-alpha-blackout-hardcore-tactical-mod-for-uzdoomzandronum\/?tab=comments#comment-3054651\" target=\"_blank\"> Doomworld forums<\/a>. PkmX also recommends several other mods to enhance the experience, including a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doomworld.com\/idgames\/graphics\/pal_plus\" target=\"_blank\"> palette mod<\/a> to make levels darker, which certainly seems to fit with Blackout&#8217;s tone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"87eea64a-9e25-11f1-99d3-c1b688fbde55\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/this-mod-transforms-doom-into-a-terrifying-tactical-shooter-and-its-partly-inspired-by-another-pc-gaming-classic.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"87eea64a-9e25-11f1-99d3-c1b688fbde55\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/this-mod-transforms-doom-into-a-terrifying-tactical-shooter-and-its-partly-inspired-by-another-pc-gaming-classic\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It takes a brave soul to ask the question &#8220;What if Doom was an incredibly slow-moving tactical shooter?&#8221; In fact, it&#8217;s not a question I ever thought I&#8217;d want an answer to\u2014we aren&#8217;t exactly short of grim-faced, hyper-lethal first-person shooters these days.
