Much like the Doomstick, some weapons include alternative attacks to make them more useful, so you won’t restrict your options based on the level-design it will come down to your own preferences and skill. These explosive-based weapons include more traditional choices like a bazooka and a heat-seeking missile launcher, but you also have more exotic options such as a missile launcher that splits apart two missiles at once, a mini-gun rocket launcher that fires in a drunken manner, a grenade launcher that creates a wall of flames, a rocket launcher that fires an X-shape firebomb, and a new weapon dubbed the 'Doomstick,' which is a shotgun crossed with a grenade-launcher. (See? There is some method to my madness.) With the exceptions of the Shadow Warrior remakes as well as Bethesda’s Wolfenstein and DOOM reboots, almost every popular throwback FPS to date has had someone involved with the Rise of the Triad remake-and I’m sure the internet will find more connections to add to our collective hive-mind.

These games include DUSK, Amid Evil, Bombshell, Quake Champions, Ion Fury, and Wrath: Aeon of Ruin-so pretty much every game I will cover in this series besides Project Warlock. If you look at the game’s credits, you will find Daniel Hedjazi, Frederik Schreiber, Dave Oshry, Andrew Hulshult, Leon Zawada, and many more familiar names if you have played any recent 3DRealms or New Blood Interactive games. In fact, this idea almost feels like I have stumbled into some grand conspiracy given how far-reaching this rabbit hole can go-or, you know, the likelihood that all these people involved made their connections here for future projects. Now, we could end our history lesson here however, I want to further point out how my statement is based on more than your typical YouTuber hyperbole.
