History VideoGame / ActionDoom2UrbanBrawl

* CelShading: Simulated in the ''Doom'' engine via use of black-outlined sprites, and cleverly created black outlines around level geometry- this is handled by creating a one-sided texture box around objects that show black when seem from one side(the back), but invisible from the other)the front view)

* DoesNotLikeGuns: Averted; guns are the most efficient way to dispose of enemies. However, ammo is scarce.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Zig-zagged. While the easiest ending to get is a bad one ([[spoiler:you run out of leads and die in the subway]]), the good ones are only mildly harder. The by far hardest ending to get, which involves both going to the cabin in the forest ''and'' attacking the Phylex tower, [[EarnYourBadEnding is also a bad one]] ([[spoiler:your daughter shoots you, after which you end up overdosing on painkillers in the hospital]]).

* HeroicMime: Either played straight toward EVERYONE or inverted: Nobody speaks in the game except for the protagonist's Max Payne esque narration.

* MultipleEndings: One good (Obviously, you save your daughter), and three bad ones. ([[spoiler:You run out of leads and are murdered by a random mook; the BigBad arranges your arrest before you can fight him; the Big Bad tricks your daughter into shooting you, leading to you committing suicide in the hospital]]). There's also a NonStandardGameOver [[spoiler:if you attack the BigBad ''before'' your daughter has fled the scene]], as well as an alternate good one where [[spoiler:you get sidetracked taking on Hugo, are unable to find your daughter, but end up starting a new family with the woman who rescued you from the subway station.]]

While the original ''Action Doom'' was an attempt to bring ''{{Contra}}''-like mechanics to first person perspective, ''Urban Brawl'' is a nod to beat 'em ups like ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon''. You have a pistol, but most of the time, you'll end up fighting with melee weapons like two-by-fours, bottles or pool cues.

A sequel to a ''{{Doom}} 2'' GameMod, made by Stephen "Scuba Steve" Browning, but this time released as a standalone game. It's available as a freeware download, but it can be also bought in a boxed version, which includes some extra goodies. As of now, the bonus levels included in the boxed version are now free to download off of the main site.

While the original ''ActionDoom'' was an attempt to bring ''{{Contra}}''-like mechanics to first person perspective, ''Urban Brawl'' is a nod to beat 'em ups like ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon''. You have a pistol, but most of the time, you'll end up fighting with melee weapons like two-by-fours, bottles or pool cues.

The game puts you as a grizzled veteran, living in a desolate, crime-filled quarter of the city, with only your daughter to keep you company and bring a point to your life. When she gets taken away by henchmen working for an unknown boss, you set on a quest to find her and take revenge on those responsible, while beating up tons of criminals along the way. The game is rather short, but there are multiple paths you can take, and quite a lot of interesting secrets.
