Bloom (stylized as BlooM) is a modification for id Software's video game Doom II. It is designed to bring all of the enemies, weapons and environment elements from Monolith Productions' Blood to the Doom engine, creating a crossover of both game universes.[1][2] It was developed by Spanish indie studio Bloom Team and released via Mod DB on October 31, 2019.[3]

Gameplay

Bloom allows players to choose between Doomguy and Caleb (with their own distinct weapons and perks) and replaces the original enemies with new hybrid variants based on both games. New and updated weapons are included, such as a revolver, grenades or an upgraded chaingun.[4][5]

The mod features a new episode "The Way of Doomed Flesh" which includes a total of four levels, an original story, cutscenes and a new soundtrack composed by Buio Mondo.[6][7] Bloom is compatible with Doom, Doom II, Final Doom, Sigil and other custom WADs.[8][9]

Reception

Dominic Tarason of Rock, Paper, Shotgun named Bloom one of the best Doom mods of 2019 and called it "an extremely cool concept" and "a real treat, visually and aurally"[1] YouTube game reviewer GmanLives praised the mod level design, visuals and atmosphere and named it "one of the best Doom mods ever made".[10]

Bloom won the awards for "Best Crossover mod" and "Best upcoming mod" (2nd place) by Mod DB in 2019.[11][12]
