Æons of Death

Æons of Death is a massive compilation WAD that brings together monsters, weapons, and items from numerous games, such as Heretic, Hexen, Quake,, , Half-Life, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, and others. ZDoom is required to play it.

The mod uses a randomization code which causes any monster or weapon in a certain class to spawn a random monster or weapon respectively. For example, in place of an imp, a snake imp, or a kilmaat, or a catharsi, or one of several others might appear. Also, in place of a shotgun, a shotgun from Doom 3 or the Arc of Death from Hexen might appear. This guarantees that it will never be the same game twice.

Monsters might also drop weapons, ammo, health, or items such as bottles of medicine, artifacts, or runes which can also be stored in the inventory for later use.

The latest version, 5.0, includes many new weapons and monsters, as well as the implementation of classes. There are six class groups (Arcanum, Crawl, Cult, EDF, The Cabal, and UAC), with three characters in each group. Each group has a unique set of starting weapons as well as a unique HUD. The members of each class group vary in starting max HP, default movement speed, jump height, voice samples, and SFX.
