Divine Frequency (Mod)

Divine Frequency (Mod) is a stand-alone mod for Doom that will let you completely transform ID Software's legendary game to the point that you'll find it hard to believe it uses an engine developed in 1993. What's more, unlike many other mods, which require the original Doom II files or having GZDoom already installed on your PC, you won't need anything else to start playing.

Unzip and play

As mentioned above, you don't need any additional files or other programs installed to start Divine Frequency (Mod). To start a new game, you only need to unzip the compressed file, which you can download from here, into a new folder. Then, you must run the file "Start Divine Frequency.bat". Doing so will open two windows— ReShade Setup and the GZDoom manager. With ReShade Setup, you don't have to do anything, as the window will just stay open in the background. In the GZDoom manager, all you need to do is double-click on the game's name. And that's it. You will be able to start playing.

You're no longer in Kansas...

As soon as you open Divine Frequency (Mod) for the first time, you'll notice that any similarities with Doom are practically non-existent. When you start a new game, you'll find a completely different interface with a different character. In the upper left corner of the screen, you can find your mysterious avatar's icon and their health points, energy bar, and armor level. In the upper right corner are your kill points, which you can get by destroying enemies and will allow you to level up the three main skills in the game. Then, you can see your inventory shortcuts in the lower left and lower right corners, with the grenades and ammunition you have equipped.

Inventory, Codex, Bestiary, and more

It's tempting to start shooting as soon as you can control your character, but Divine Frequency (Mod) isn't just any regular mod, and ideally, you should start by opening your inventory. From this window, not only can you take a look at all the items you start with, but you'll also see how much weight you're carrying (there is a limit), and, most importantly, you'll be able to consult the Codex. You can inspect all your weapons from the Codex, which is very important given that each one has special attacks and is particularly effective against a specific type of enemy. You'll also find the Bestiary, which, again, will inform you of the monsters' strengths and weaknesses. And finally, you'll be able to read any messages your character has received. Only by reading these messages can you understand the game's story well.

Fast-paced, deadly action

Although Divine Frequency (Mod) is a first-person shooter to all intents and purposes, the influences of the Dark Souls saga and, more specifically, Bloodborne are undeniable. And this translates perfectly to combat. The enemies you encounter throughout the game are highly dangerous, and if you don't know how to fight them correctly, your game will most likely end prematurely. That's why you have over half a dozen weapons and grenades right from the start— you will need them. Learning to use all your tools of destruction is key to survival in a world where the slightest mistake can end you up in pieces. This is especially true with the bosses, who will test your skills and, probably, your ammunition reserves, too.

Download Divine Frequency (Mod) and enjoy a brutal gaming experience halfway between the classic Doom, which gave us so many good moments in the 90s, and the impressive Bloodborne, which did the same in the 2010s. This is an outstanding game that will delight not only fans of Doom mods but also anyone who enjoys a good video game, whatever the genre.
