Doom 2 mod Trench Foot releases Butcher's Summit prequel

Trench Foot, an ambitious Doom 2 mod, pairs World War One aesthetics with medieval religious zealotry and a gothic style. Players take on the role of a master Templar of the Canonicate, tasked with waging an “apocalyptic holy war” against heretics hiding in the trenchworks of Cretu.

The mod features 14 unique weapons and 15 enemy types. The team behind Trench Foot has released a smaller prequel episode called Butcher's Summit. Lead developer L0kken said Chapter 1’s development had its ups and downs, and that the mini-episode began during a slower phase as a deliberately limited project that would not require the whole team.

He added that Butcher's Summit “does not represent” how Chapter 1 will play, noting the choice to include a single difficulty option, keep cinematic moments to a minimum, and prioritise gameplay and exploration.
