==>> What is Templar? <<==
Many of you might be asking this question, so I will include it here.
This a classic DOOM II mod that will run off two of Zdoom's OpenGL daugter ports (Gzdoom and Skulltag) so yes, basically it's an OGL mod only. (appologies to software users) Giving classic Doom a different appearence and different gameplay style using the power of all Zdoom/Gzdoom features.
What do I mean by "different gameplay style?" Well it's simple... This looks like Doom, it might feel like Doom to some but not by others, but It definatley does not play like Doom. Basically gameplay-wise, it's kind of like a mix between Classic Doom, Painkiller, Doom 3, and Half-Life 2. This will be enhanced for Coop/Survival Netplay as well.
The main gameplay features are:
=> A different weapons system that is similar to Classic Doom's but very tweaked and modified and don't behave quite the same. Some weapons have Alt-Fire and are all reloadable. Anlong with prettier animations and muzzle flashes.
=> A limited running system. Ya, shoot me... This is not gonna be so fast paced now. But not too slow paced either. Basically the player can do a dash when he/she really needs to by pressing a key and holding it allowing a "sprint" boosting the player's speed, only for a limited time (6 seconds max) then needs to recharge.
So yes it's not like Classic Doom at all. This type of gameplay requires Finesse, strategy, And thinking. If you aren't solving puzzles and trying to navigate trough the maps, you are suddenly blasting big swarms of hellspawn.
Are you bad enough to survive the land of the lost temples?
It was time to begin testing. After 2 different research teams went in to explore, they never came back and were never seen again. Finally, the military decided to push the panic button and send in a rescue team of 15 marines icluding you, Captian James Harvey to figure out what's going on in there...
You and your team enter the portal come out the other side to a place which appears to be earth. But the question isn't where, it's when.
You wake up several hours later all alone in the middle of nowhere from a head injury to hear the sound of combat, screaming, and terror on the radios...
You find yourself in front of what appears to be a late 12th century structure.
Looks like you have no choice but to go inside and help 'em out.
