''Russian Overkill'' is an absurdly over-the-top gameplay mod for VideoGame/{{Doom}} created by [=ZDoom=] forum user [=PillowBlaster=], heading a modding team comprising several members ([=PillowBlaster=] included) would subsequently make the other equally over-the-top and highly acclaimed ''Doom'' gameplay mods ''VideoGame/{{Guncaster}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Trailblazer}}''. This mod replaces the standard weapon and item spawns with an impressive variety of extremely, purposely overpowered weapons and items that will tear through, or help you to tear through, any monsters you face like tissue paper, while at the same time supplementing ''Doom'''s UI text elements with a vodka-infused overdose of GloriousMotherRussia.

# '''Yuri Dubienko, the Cyborg''': A World War II veteran resurrected with cybernetic technology. Has a built-in RocketJump, powerful punch attacks and incredible {{Fartillery}}. His starting weapon is a flare gun fires burning sticky flares.

** This is the ideology behind [[MeaningfulName Matryoshka]], a chaingun which shoots...chainguns.

* VodkaDrunkenski: Drink the water of life to grant your character various buffs. Some weapons also were [[AllThereInTheManual apparently innovated under heavy influence]].

# '''Yuri Dubienko, the Cyborg''': A World War II veteran resurrected with cybernetic technology. Has a built-in RocketJump, powerful punch attacks and incredible {{Fartillery}}. His starting pistol fires burning sticky flares.
# '''Alosha Pavlovic, the Commando''': A former Spetsnaz member whose "melee" is SpontaneousWeaponCreation. He is also equipped with a regenerating ammo satchel and a pistol that he can [[ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy hurl]] like [[ImprobableUseOfAWeapon a grenade]].
# '''Marty, the Treesagent''': A BareFistedMonk who mows down the armies of Hell with his [[IKnowKungFaux special martial arts]], and uses a revolver that can fire heat-seeking missiles.

* HandBlast: Alosha's "melee" has him mime various gun-firing motions. [[ThisBananaIsArmed This kills people.]] It must be stressed that Alosha actually fires ''physical munitions'' when he does his handguns. They even eject casings!

** The Hindenburg Two beacon is used as a target for a cannon that launches a Zeppelin-sized bomb. 41,460mm caliber, to be specific. [[FridgeLogic Imagine how big a cannon has to be to launch that thing...]][[invoked]][[note]]The largest cannon ever fired, the Tsar Cannon, has a caliber of 890 mm, over ''46 times smaller'' than the Hindernburg Two's.[[/note]]

** The Portable Berserker Pack comes with its own theme music to accompany the sight of you punching demons into walls.
** One of the replacements for powerups is the Extremosphere. [[SuperMode Combining increased strength, speed, jump height, invulnerability, and weapon firing rate]], it's also accompanied by Music/ThreeInchesOfBlood overlaid with [[CarefulWithThatAxe incessant screaming]]. Welcome to Russian Overkill, folks!

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: We have the Deathhead, the Planet Cracker, the Master Obliterator, and the Insta-Funeral, among other equally ridiculous names. The player probably should follow that trope's advice: using these weapons can and '''will''' kill you as well as everything you're aiming at.

* SkullForAHead: The Matryoshka's secondary fire shoots missiles that have skulls on their front. Apparently, they are [[DemBones Revenant]] skulls, judging by the sound they make when launched, and due to the fact that they're called [[MemeticMutation agitating]][[invoked]] missiles.

* DeathFromAbove: The Obliterator's tertiary fire drops a beacon that summons three A-10 Thunderbolt IIs to carpet-bomb and pepper everything in the vicinity with their Avenger cannons for about 5 seconds.

# '''Alosha Pavlovic, the Commando''': A former Spetsnaz member whose "melee" is SpontaneousWeaponCreation. He is also equipped with a regenerating ammo satchel and a pistol that he can hurl like a grenade.

* ImprovisedWeapon: Alosha's Ammo Satchel can be thrown with enough force to ''kill'' enemies. It can also be remotely detonated. In addition, Alosha can throw his Bernie Screamer like a grenade, and it explodes just as spectacularly.

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Alosha carries a special prototype device that allows him to shoot various guns just by mimicking the gestures needed to fire them. He can also summon various oddities such as a CRT monitor, a homing chainsaw, and the concrete donkey from ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'' just by [[SomeDexterityRequired moving in a specific set of directions]] and GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger.

* SquareCubeLaw: The Ammo Pack runs on a downplayed version of this trope and a subversion of BottomlessMagazines when its corresponding "cheat" modifier is active--each Ammo Pack picked up will double the ''current'' maximum ammo the player can carry, so picking up just two Ammo Packs would ''quadruple'' the player's starting maximum ammo. This also means that, when playing ''Russian Overkill'' on top of ''Doom II'', the player is unlikely to ever run out of ammunition after Dead Simple unless they deliberately try.

* FreezeFrameBonus:
** Hidden in the last frames of Chton's impact smoke is an [[FlamingSkulls ominous skull coming out of the inferno.]]

* BatterUp: Just because baseball is the American pastime doesn't mean that Russians can't have a little fun with it. The Excalibat is an iron-studded, [[EvilWeapon cursed baseball bat]] with the ability to fire off ghastly baseball projectiles.

# '''Alosha Pavlovic, the Commando''': A former Spetsnaz member whose "melee" is a plethora of invisible guns, ranging from pistol to cannon, all with BottomlessMagazines. He is also equipped with a regenerating ammo satchel.

** The Hindenburg Two beacon is used as a target for a cannon that launches a zeppelin-sized bomb. 41460mm caliber, to be specific. [[FridgeLogic Imagine how big a cannon has to be to launch that thing...]][[invoked]][[note]]The largest cannon ever fired, the Tsar Cannon, has a caliber of 890 mm, over ''46 times smaller'' than the Hindernburg Two's.[[/note]]

* FreezeFrameBonus: Hidden in the last frames of Chton's impact smoke is an [[FlamingSkulls ominous skull coming out of the inferno.]]
** Speaking of hidden skulls, the Matryoshka's secondary fire shoots missiles that have skulls on their front (hidden due to the fact that this end is pointed ''away'' from you most of the time). Apparently they're [[DemBones Revenant]] skulls, judging by the sound they make when launched, and due to the fact that they're called [[MemeticMutation agitating]][[invoked]] missiles.

* GatlingGood: The slot 4 weapons are all different varieties of chaingun, the only exceptions being the Union and the Antonov.
* '''GloriousMotherRussia''': The single greatest example since [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2 Red Alert 2.]]

* HealingShiv: Following from above, the Union and Antonov can expend bullet casings to heal the player in various ways.

* HindenburgIncendiaryPrinciple: Weaponized with the appropriately-named Hindenburg Two beacon. Hands down ''the'' biggest and most powerful explosion Russian Overkill has to offer, and that's saying a lot.

* LargeHam: The ''arsenal'' itself. What sets Russian Overkill apart from other overpowered weapons mods is the response that shooting any of the weapons have. The sounds are extremely loud, punchy, and wonderfully satisfying.

** The Shitstorm device will spray a veritable torrent of rockets once activated. Shurricane's tertiary fire functions in a similar way.

* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: From the weapons and characters, to the menu labels and the intermission and story screens in map packs that use the default ''Doom'' screens, this trope is apparent in every second of gameplay.

--> '''Deathhead''': [[VideoGame/Starcraft2 "I could aim, but with this thing... I don't have to."]]

* PrecisionFStrike: The [[GatlingGood Gorynch]], essentially a 2400-RPM shotgun, is nicknamed "The Fucker", due to the fact that firing it will fuck up the skeleton of anybody who is not Russian... on both ends of the weapon.

** This is the ideology behind [[MeaningfulName Matryoshka]], a chaingun which shoots.... chainguns.

* ReferenceOverdosed: The game gleefully rips sounds and sprites from many different other games, and even channels inspiration from sources as obscure as ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato''.

* {{Roboteching}}: Power Overwhelming's quatenary fire toggles Homing Boolets mode, Matryoshka's secondary fire shoots seeking missiles, and the Shuricane's primary will home in on the closest enemy, tracking the player's crosshair if they cannot find one. [[spoiler:So does Yamato's primary fire!]]

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Alosha's "Screamin' Bernie" revolver can be tossed as a grenade a la [[VideoGame/Borderlands2 Tediore weaponry.]] This seems to be Alosha's signature ability, as elaborated in BottomlessMagazines and HandBlast above.

* StuffBlowingUp: Prepare to make everything explode. '''''EVERYTHING.'''''
* SuperMode: The Forksphere powerup allows your character to channel the power of the invincible god of pitchforks (probably Caleb from VideoGame/{{Blood}}) as you fly around the map and spear everything in sight.

* CatharsisFactor[[invoked]]: Russian Overkill is not a mod one plays for the challenge. It's a mod solely designed for the most over-the-top violence one can have. The "Drunk Simulator" difficulty even replaces ''all'' weapon drops with the game's six different {{BFG}}s, as well as upgrading most health kits to Supreme Healths.

* '''Reinforcements from Moldova''': Adds two extra weapons to ''each'' weapon slot (except slot 2), as well as the Hindenburg II hypernuke item. These are now part of the base mod.

* {{BFG}}: Can be said about ''every single gun'' that isn't a mere HandCannon.
** [[http://i.imgur.com/5civlA3.png Power Overwhelming]] is possibly the largest gun this mod has to offer. Just look at the size of that sprite!
** The Hindenburg Two beacon is used as a targeter for a cannon that launches a zeppelin-sized bomb. 41460mm caliber, to be specific. [[FridgeLogic Imagine how big a cannon has to be to launch that thing...]][[invoked]]
* BottomlessMagazines: Alosha's third starting weapon is a regenerating satchel that can be tossed to give him some quick ammo. Combine this with the fact that weapons like the Union can use casings to generate health, and Alosha is fully self-sufficient.
* CatharsisFactor[[invoked]]: Russian Overkill is ''not'' a mod one plays for the challenge. It's a mod solely designed for the most over-the-top violence one can have. There's even a special gameplay mode that replaces ''all'' weapon drops with the game's six different {{BFG}}s, as well as upgrading most health kits to Supreme Healths.
* ClusterBomb: Because nothing says overkill like exploding explosions that explode into explosions!
** Colonel Pillzkanone's secondary fire launches explosive medikits filled with explosive pills and, when reachesto its second charging stage, even more explosive medikits, in turn loaded with explosive pills.
** The three Weapon Amplifiers (Stalin, Trocky, and Lenin) transform their respective weapons' ([[YouNukeEm Deathhead]], [[KillSat Planet Cracker]], and [[UnrealisticBlackHole Borsch]]) alt-fires into a cluster variant. The individual components are reduced in no way compared to their normal counterparts; there's simply more of them.
** Beef Supreme fires rockets that explode into explosions. [[spoiler:Hindenburg Two functions mostly the same, only scaled up to nuclear levels.]]
* DiscOneNuke: Taken about as literally as possible with the Gopnik, which not only shoots disk-shaped mines and has a nuke mode, but is a ROCKET LAUNCHER REPLACEMENT. The very same rocket launcher that can be acquired in Doom 2's Entryway.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Shurricane's secondary launches a slow-moving probe that, when it hits something, displays a holographic imp stripper. Nearby demons will turn on each other when exposed to it, and if the infighting doesn't kill them off, then the flame sprinkler the probe emits will.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: '''[[GloriousMotherRussia Russian]]''' '''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Overkill]]'''.

** Speaking of hidden skulls, the Matryoshka's secondary fire shoots missiles that have skulls on their front (hidden due to the fact that this end is pointed ''away'' from you most of the time). Apparently they're [[DemBones Revenant]] skulls, judging by the sound they make when launched, and due to the fact that they're called [[MemeticMutation agitating]] missiles.

* HiddenInPlainSight: There is an additional difficulty level below "Drunk Simulator", mentioned internally as "License to Kill" but appears as a blank in-game due to it apparently being represented by a picture rather than normal text.
* HindenburgIncendiaryPrinciple: Weaponized with the appropriately-named Hindenburg Two beacon. Hands down ''THE'' biggest and most powerful explosion Russian Overkill has to offer, and that's saying a lot.
* HulkingOut: Rather than create a berserk powerup, Russian Overkill gives you a portable Berseker pack as a melee weapon. Selecting it will transform your character into a [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Tank]] with a MegatonPunch, an [[RoarBeforeBeating intimidating roar]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and an included music player button]].

* LargeHam: The ''arsenal itself''. What sets Russian Overkill apart from other overpowered weapons mods is the response that shooting ANY of the weapons have. The sounds are extremely loud, punchy, and ''wonderfully satisfying.''

* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Needs no explanation; this trope is apparent in every second of gameplay.

* OneHitPointWonder: The HiddenInPlainSight "License to Kill" difficulty, which sets all monster health to ''0.00001x'' their standard amounts and increases damage taken by ''90,000x'', functionally making you this.

* RocketJump: Explosions galore, capable of sending you into the sky as easily as they can pound you into the ground. [[spoiler:This is the mechanism that powers the level-skipping Quantum Jump.]]

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: What's better than just a regular-old shotgun? How about one that fires the contents of ten rounds of buckshot at once? What's better than that? A chain-fed double-barrelled auto-shotty. What's better than a double-barrelled shotgun? One with four barrels. And what's better than that? '''FOUR OF THEM.'''

# '''Marty, the Treesagent''': A BareFistedMonk whose RapidFireFisticuffs allows him to mow down the armies of Hell with his bare hands (and feet). Uses a revolver that can fire heat-seeking missiles.

''Russian Overkill'' is an absurdly over-the-top gameplay mod for VideoGame/{{Doom}} created by [=ZForum=] user [=PillowBlaster=]. It replaces the standard weapon spawns with an impressive variety of different, extremely powerful weapons which will tear through any monsters you face. In addition, you can also play as three different characters, each with their own nuances and unique mechanics. Needless to say, there is a ''lot'' of content in this mod.

Russian Overkill can be downloaded [[https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=29915 here.]]

* GameBreaker: The entire mod is one big "fuck-you" to the challenge of standard Doom gameplay. Aside from the rather intensive arsenal and the removal of the maximum health and armor limit, you also have a jetpack, and several methods of RecoilBoost which the game encourages you to use, to subvert the usual flow of maps. [[spoiler:Taken UpToEleven with the Yamato's "Quantum Jump" feature, which '''''skips the level outright'''''.]]

* ClusterBomb: Because nothing says overkill like exploding explosions that explode into explosions! (Yes this is an actual thing in the game. Just look at Colonel Pillzkanone)

* {{Fartillery}}: Yuri's melee alt-fire has him charge up a mechanically-boosted fart that will suffocate nearby demons, as well as propel him into the air.

** It must be stressed that Alosha actually fires ''physical munitions'' when he does his handguns. They even eject casings!

* MacrossMissileMassacre: Not surprisingly, some weapons have the capability to launch rapid-fire explosive death. Deathhead is a standout example, with its primary fire being a shotgun blast of mini-nukes.

* {{Roboteching}}: Power Overwhelming's quatenary fire toggles Homing Boolets mode, Matryoshka's secondary fire shoots seeking missiles, and the Shuricane's primary will home in on the closest enemy, tracking the player's crosshair if they cannot find one.
