The candles in Castlevania are actually representations of the souls of Dracula's victims, and they drop items as blessings to assist the hero in avenging their murder.
there's probably infinite ways to headcanon this but let's stick with what we know. To wit: Dracula's Castle is alive, a semisentient creature of chaos. Fueled by eldritch energy and probably also sacrificial blood. Easy to postulate that candle flames are actually burning souls. Why would you buy candles for your hostile, monster-swarming fortress if you don't have to? Even if they're just...mundane magical flames... I'm sure there's plenty of benign ghosts trapped in those halls with nothing better to do than work candle magic for Steve Belmont.
My mind still can't process the fact that Total Chaos is a Doom mod. I remember discovering it years ago. It was THAT mod that made me realize how insane this modding community was.
Total Chaos pulled a Chasim making the doom engine to make it look like it is 3D even more and you can see that Total Chaos is still 2.5D from how the hallway and the walls look.
blade of agony inquisitor trilogy and ascension. Those are pretty hard. Solace dreams silent mount, unvloved, those are horror. doom zombies ate my neighbors, re blood, golden souls and golden souls 2, pro doomer, stronghold edge of chaos.
@4:39 I just finished playing Ashes: Hard Rest. The Ashes series has been, by faaar, the best TCM I have played to date. The sound track is just kick ass, it ties perfectly with the atmosphere in every stage. The weapons are pretty sweet and their upgrades just make it even more satisfying. Great Great Great mods, highly recommend. Thanks for introducing us Icarus!
My jaw hit the floor looking at that Sonic mod. It's amazing! Looks amazing and the fact that it's "just" a doom mod makes it extra special. I just can't believe my eyes, it's so good!
I remember trying out Aliens TC when I was a kid. I knew someone had to rip Alien Trilogy sprites eventually. As for the others, they look fun. The video was cool. I'd like another!
Same here. I remember working diligently on an Aliens mod for Doom only for the Aliens TC to pop up on AOL one day. We played it for like five minutes, threw our hands up and, totally gave up on our mod. But that's ok! Because Aliens TC was amazing and now there's tons of xenomorphic games to play. ^_^
Ashes 2063 is my favorite shooter of all time! Transcendent immersion, a god-tier soundtrack that somehow always matches the tone of each level, which are meticulously designed and a joy to explore. Tight gunplay as well!
"FINALLY... Icarus has gotten around to compiling some of his favorite DOOM total conversion mods so people can stop bugging him about what his favorite DOOM total conversion mods are." ...So what are your favorite map packs?
Glad SRB2 was given a shout out. I play that recently and it was one of the best Sonic games I played. Hope Adventures of Square makes it on the list. That game was awesome.
so, fun fact. I made a character mod for Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart before I actually played SRB2Kart because I wanted to play through the time trials as my own OC. I someday want to do the same with Sonic Robo Blast 2; make my own character mod, and play through the game as that.
I was completely convinced until just now that Ashes was a Build Engine mod, having only seen footage of it and not played it. Even when you started talking about it I went to look it up because I was still 75% sure you had accidentally included a Build Engine mod. It just has so much of that vibe
Golden Souls II is, in my opinion, one of the most impressive TC's I've ever seen/played. It makes platforming genuinely fun, has an awesome overworld, loads of custom work and feels like a lot of love went into it. You can even use certain movement techniques to do skips, which feels extremely appropriate for a Mario-inspired game!
This video made me dig thru some of my old CD's, and I found one called Doom Developers Kit Vol1. I'm pretty sure I got it for free sometime back in the 90's. It comes with a map editor, 650 levels for Doom, and 200 levels for Doom 2, and best of all it has the old Aliens total conversion you mention in the video. I'm pretty sure I remember there being a Star Wars total conversion on the CD as well.
Great video, thank you. I already played Ashes 2063, which reminds me more of something that was made with the Build engine than with the Doom engine. I will definitely check out Aliens Eradication after what you showed of that game. It looks awesome. Btw, the Selaco demo on Steam blew me away, which is also seems to be based on Doom even though this is hard to believe. Can't wait for that game to release.
So you play the game? This is gonna sound a bit out there but, can you tell me what I'm supposed to download to play the game? Is it the stand alone? There's a huge list of things and none of them especially sound like they are JUST the game. I hate when mod authors do that with their moddb pages. x_x
That's because FOX cracked down on TCs back in the day. There was a CNet central clip back in the day talking about Simpsons Quake and Escape from New York Quake (my TC projects) and how Matt Groenig probably wouldn't like it.
Been playing the Aliens arcade game recently and I can say with certainty that quite a few sound effects and even some gameplay elements have been used/incorporated into this total conversion, very nice.
Little clarification about castlevania: The usage of Items does not consume health points; like in the original, it consumes a mana resource thats just inexplicably represented by hearts, while your HP are a red bar.
Segway from "I've seen things you wouldn't believe" to a TC that has a shared universe with Blade runner. You can't hide your references from me Icarus!
6 years of awesome so far eh? Armed with the knowledge from your channel and $5.99 of official Doom WADs I've had countless hours of entertainment. Thanks Mr. Icarus.
Ashes 2036 & Dead Man Walking are absolute no brainners as far as best Wads/TC wads out there. It's got everything from a decent arsenal, a simplistic story to exploration paying off & mountains of Easter eggs & laughs scattered throughout. So pumped that a follow up to Chapter one is on the way. Left a lot of TC mods alone simply because I had a really poor PC to run them on, even my own Doom projects & editors were struggling lol. But recently upgraded to a bigger, better monster & had my eyes on a few of those mentioned for a very long time. Newest version of project Brutality or this crossover between PB & Complex Doom is now in sights too 😈
I'm still on the lookout for a Doom total conversion of Ghost In The Shell SAC and playing as The Major, Batou & Togusa the lead characters of the mini-series in their own stand alone episodes that makes up large cyber terrorist conspiracy plot that calls for Section 9.
I'll definitely have to try some of these, once I'm done playing around with Quake Anniversary Edition. Also, the music at the end of your videos gets stuck in my head a lot. Reminds me of a lot of my favorite tracker music, and makes me want to start writing music again 👍 maybe get a new track up on my SoundCloud again Edit: listening to your SoundCloud now 👍
I downloaded the first story campaign and played it through (Difficulty level: Apocalypse) and I have to say, it's a great game! So much details, twists and turns, after Brutal Doom I didn't expect that but this game really got me, it has story, it's challenging and it offers here and there something new!!!
Don't know if that is only me or a one time only thing, but it look like one of the switches in the final level of ashes 2063 cannot be activated which softlock the game since you can't get the blue pass to open the medical wing, I managed to finish it by noclipping across one of the vault door. Like I combed all I could explore and all I found was a switch for a door that I couldn't activate for some reason, with reloading doing little.
You don't need the blue pass to complete the map. The intended process is to get into the security room through the vents and unlock the fire doors. The blue pass is optional, and is only received by "requesting" one from the security terminal. Everything from there should be pretty simple in comparison.
Watched this expecting a lot of "Yeah I know of that one." Total Chaos and Ashes 2063 though I haven't heard of and probably wouldn't if it weren't for this review. Thanks for this, Mr. Icarus. *Adjusts tie*
*Aliens mod* reminds me a lot of the PS1 Alien game *Ashes 2063* would buy that game too. If this guy doesn't have a Patreon he should open one *Sonic mod* Mod looks pretty neat.I think Sega should hire this guy because he has talent *Castlevania mod* Lets hope Konami will not go full Konami and shut this down *Total Chaos* graphics look pretty god and its impressed how complex the game is
Whoever made the Sonic Robo Blast 2 Doom mod deserves John Romero levels of fame and notoriety. It is literally insane in its detail and gameplay. They manage to absolutely nail the sonic movement.
I'm glad Icarus is committed to keeping his videos at a reasonable length, what with TH-cam recommending me things like 4-hour videos about why Pokemon Sword & Shield is bad or 6-hour reviews of Tokemeki Memorial. 😝
I remember being off work ill last Halloween watching you stream the entirety of Total Chaos over a few days. It probably wasn't the best idea considering the fever dreams, but I was highly impressed. Its a better Silent Hill than the recent entries in the actual series.
All look absolutely amazing and fun to play through. I'll say that Golden Souls 1&2 and Shrine 1&2 are great, but I mean Golden Souls is only mostly environmental conversion so fair enough
that dracula voice sounds suspisciously like dio. does anyone else hear that?? i can totally imagine dio saying "so ends the great battle" exactly the way dracula did
The atmosphere of Total Chaos was quite something but... It outright crashed on me because of lack of memory and there isn't anything I can do about it. (also I died too many times from being stuck between enemies and a wall) Ashes however was the most satisfying experience from TC mod I've ever had. I can't wait for Ep.3. (You can get Smiles in the end IF you find the secret sub level)
This is an amazing list. Sonic was the only one i already heard of. The rest were new and they all look really good. Even in 2021 imho. Can't wait to try them.
Man I wanna play Total Chaos but for some reason the textures are flickering like crazy for me, maybe it's something to do with my AMD gpu who knows, I played it a long time ago with Nvidia and didn't have any issue with it. Great video, like, some of these mods, Ashes and Total Chaos are mods that I would def buy if they sold it, sorta like Hedon.
When I stare into the abyss of doom mods, my eyes glaze over and I nearly die. I rely on people like you to tell me what, out of the massive ocean of available mods, is actually worth trying. And I thank you for your efforts.
Well you should 100% give Ashes a spin. First 2063 (preferably the Enriched version, it's more modern and has more features), then Afterglow, and finally the weapons pack just to goof about. Pro tip: use a mod launcher. ZDL and Doom Launcher are excellent.
Appreciate the kind words regarding the ASHES 2063 soundtrack!

Yep, that checks out.
11:33 Honestly, seeing that Castlevania makes one think this could work pretty good with Ghosts 'n Goblins/Ghouls 'n Ghosts.
I recommemd to have a shot of whiskey everytime Icarus says "particular"
Or "comprehensively"
Or ever so slightly.
I don't think my liver will like that very much
What about every time he pronounces letter "e" in any word? You'll be so dead by the end of the video

I definitely agree with mania being good, though
I just realized, i have been watching this fella for 7 years. Sweet sweet Doom mods
Ashes has been hands down my favourite TC to date, and if it wasn't for you covering it however many years ago I never would have known about it.
Have you played Afterglow?
so, fun fact.
I made a character mod for Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart before I actually played SRB2Kart because I wanted to play through the time trials as my own OC.
I someday want to do the same with Sonic Robo Blast 2; make my own character mod, and play through the game as that.
Ashes and all it's randitions are easily my fav total conversion mods of probably any game

I absolutely adore Ashes 2063. I didn't have so much fun with an FPS game since... the good old days of Quake 2 and Unreal.

You can even use certain movement techniques to do skips, which feels extremely appropriate for a Mario-inspired game!
I agree, and I'm glad to know a Golden Souls III is on the works. Probably the best Doom modification I've played, and I'm not even a Mario fan!
I can say with certainty that in this case, it's equal to Ashes Afterglow, the sequel to 2063. Because Afterglow is _soooo goooood!_ 😍
the cool Treasure Tech is also great, as soon as the levels are made that one may even be superior to golden souls 2
Total conversions have come a long way since the days of what I'm used to!

The usage of Items does not consume health points; like in the original, it consumes a mana resource thats just inexplicably represented by hearts, while your HP are a red bar.

you must not have played alot of horror games then
@@hazzmati I'm sure I played more horror games than some other peoples game overall :D
@@John_Souls well apparantly not
I would play Ashes 2063, even if it's a payed game on Steam published by Devolver Digital.
When I stare into the abyss of doom mods, my eyes glaze over and I nearly die. I rely on people like you to tell me what, out of the massive ocean of available mods, is actually worth trying. And I thank you for your efforts.
Well you should 100% give Ashes a spin. First 2063 (preferably the Enriched version, it's more modern and has more features), then Afterglow, and finally the weapons pack just to goof about.
Pro tip: use a mod launcher. ZDL and Doom Launcher are excellent.
Every year there is an event called the Cacowards that helps narrow things down as well. It can be daunting at first, buy it sure is rewarding :)
Ashes really is impressive
