Trailblazer

Trailblazer is a mod for Doom developed by PillowBlaster and DoomNukem that brings a politically incorrect lone mercenary named Malcolm Striker, who can use an interesting and powerful arsenal of upgradable weapons.
This PWAD also brings substantial differences in the game's mechanics, like weapons upgrades, sound changing options, inventory to stack items such a HP recovering cheap whisky, and an interesting system that makes the protagonist gets faster as he takes damage. Also, some weapons got altfire and it can be easily combined with monster packs.

I really enjoyed to try and present Trailblazer. The weapons can be a bit overpowered, however they not only look cool, but can be balanced with WADs that brings tougher monsters.

This other video was recorded with Trailblazer 1.4b combined with Colourful Hell. These work very good together, btw.

Compatibility

Trailblazer ran here on GZDoom (2.3 and 3.3.1) with the IWADs from Doom II: Hell on Earth, The Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, Heretic and from both Freedoom's phases. It seems to work fine with all that. It should run fine on Hexen as well, but I still didn't test it.
