History VideoGame / RussianOverkill

* AttackDrone: The Ramjet can shoot ''itself'', becoming a [[PlayerGuidedMissile player-guided]] sniper rifle that you can use to scout the level and shoot at enemies off-screen. It's quite possible to clear an entire level of enemies before even leaving the starting area.

* BatterUp: Just because baseball is the American pastime doesn't mean that Russians can't have a little fun with it. The Excalibat is a baseball bat with a FacelessEye that is forged from stone and empowered with magical dust that came from Excalibur, which has the ability to fire off ghastly baseball projectiles or slam corporeal, gigantic boulders into the faces of enemies.

* GunsAkimbo: The Leviathan shotgun can be dual-wielded, and the Yellow Junk pickup allows to dual-wield revolvers. The Quadvolgue's alt-fire takes this UpToEleven, summoning three extra shotguns and an extra pair of arms for the player to hold them.

* AttackDrone: The Ramjet can shoot ''itself'', becoming a [[PlayerGuidedMissile player-guided]] sniper rifle that you can use to scout the level and shoot at enemies off-screen.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Some of the weapons are portable nuke launchers, and black hole generators, that can just as easily kill you as they do the enemy.

* RandomDrop: The Commando's "Concrete Donkey" keypress sequence may sometimes drop a "Concrete Stalin" nuke instead of the donkey, complete with the State Anthem of the Soviet Union blaring for the duration of the explosion.

Although ''Russian Overkill'' was considered finished in 2013, the mod remains in semi-active development, with each new update bringing it up to date with the latest [=ZDoom=] release at the time, and generally making the mod as a whole feel ProgressivelyPrettier. As of version 3.0, ''Russian Overkill'' also includes the following two components that were initially released as separate add-ons for the mod:

* InkSuitActor: Carlos Sanchez, who acts as the Agent in ''TREES'', provided the voice samples and some of the weapon assets used for the Treesagent. The design of the Treesagent's sprite is also based heavily on the attire worn by the Agent in ''TREES II''.

* FingerGun: The Commando's "shooter fists" is this, except that it fires actual bullets.

** The Cyborg's Real Soviet Iron Fist does more single-hit damage than the Commando's Bernie Screamer or the Treesagent's Tree-Kwon-Do. He can also throw the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Falcon Punch]] as a keypress sequence.

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: The Commando 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, including {{Improbable Weapon}}s such as a CRT monitor, a telephone pole, and the concrete donkey from ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'', just by [[SomeDexterityRequired moving in a specific set of directions]] and GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger.

* GatlingGood: The slot 4 weapons are all different varieties of chaingun, the only exceptions being the Union (an assault rifle) and the Antonov (a miniature anti-aircraft autocannon).

* HiddenInPlainSight: There is an additional difficulty level below "Drunk Simulator", named "License to Kill", but appears as a blank in-game on older versions of [=GZDoom=] due to it apparently being represented by a picture rather than normal text.

''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) who 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, PurposelyOverpowered 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.

->''Ready, Tovarisch!''

* RareRandomDrop: Unlimited Satchel, which only triggers very occasionally when the Commando picks up a dropped Ammo Satchel. Unlimited Satchel empowers him with several temporary effects, such as invulnerability, while also replenishing his current ammo like a normal Ammo Satchel.

** 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 Hindenburg Two's.[[/note]]

* EpicFlail: One of the chainsaw replacements is the Porzygun. Aside from the standard fire, hitting a wall with it will spray off chunks of lethal concrete. The secondary fire allows you to telekinetically pull a far-away enemy to whack them in the face. And the third fire mode has you [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning spin round and round without a care in the world.]]

** The Treesagent's revolver, the Silver Hornet, fires explosive bullets. Alt-fire has you swinging out the cylinder and launching six shots at once.
* {{Roboteching}}: Power Overwhelming's quaternary fire toggles Homing Boolets mode, Matryoshka's secondary fire shoots seeking missiles, the Shurricane and Yamato's primary fire will home in on the closest enemy, with the former tracking the player's crosshair if they cannot find one, and the projectiles spewed by both the primary and secondary fire of the Vindicator will track any nearby enemy.

* SquareCubeLaw: The Ammo Pack runs on a {{downplayed|Trope}} 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.

Rather unusually for a ''Doom'' mod, ''Russian Overkill'' features three playable characters, each with their own unique characteristics, special skills, and starting weapon:
# '''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 that fires burning sticky flares.
# '''Alosha Pavlovic, the Commando''': A former Spetsnaz member whose "melee" is [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation an array of ''functional'' finger guns.]] He is also equipped with a regenerating ammo satchel and a pistol that he can [[ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy hurl]] like [[ImprobableUseOfAWeapon a grenade]].
# '''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 out of its cylinder.

* AerithAndBob: Prior to v3.0, the three player characters were known in-game as Yuri, Alosha, and Marty. {{Averted|Trope}} thereafter, with each character being named by class (Cyborg, Commando, and Treesagent).

* BottomlessMagazines: Alosha's third starting weapon is a regenerating satchel that can be dropped, then picked up, to replenish ammo. Combine this with the fact that weapons like the Union can use casings to generate health, and Alosha is fully self-sufficient.

** 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.

* FingerGun: Alosha's "shooter fists" is this, except that it fires actual bullets.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Yuri and the Agent's melee, with the Agent being more pronounced due to his melee being entirely focused on physically beating people with his body parts.

* HandBlast: Alosha's "melee" has him seemingly miming various gun-firing motions, which [[ThisBananaIsArmed kills monsters]]. However, he is actually firing ''invisible physical weapons''—they even eject casings!

* ImprovisedWeapon: Alosha's Ammo Satchel can be thrown with enough force to ''kill'' enemies. It can also be remotely detonated.

** The Agent gets his hands on this the earliest, as his Silver Hornet revolver's alternate fire unleashes the entire cylinder as tiny missiles.

** Yuri's Real Soviet Iron Fist does more single-hit damage than Alosha's Bernie Screamer or the Agent's Tree-Kwon-Do. He can also throw the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Falcon Punch]] as a keypress sequence.
** One of the Agent's melee attacks has him punch so hard, it creates a (fake) blue screen of death that momentarily [[GoryDiscretionShot fills the entire screen]] while most enemies in his field of view get splashed by the punch.

* OneHitPointWonder: "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.

* RapidFireFisticuffs: One of the Agent's melee combos unleashes the terrifying [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken]], rending his victims to mincemeat in a matter of seconds. He also has a less extreme (and easier to execute) bicycle kick combo where he repeatedly kicks everything in front of him with both feet.
* RareRandomDrop: Unlimited Satchel, which only triggers very occasionally when Alosha picks up a dropped Ammo Satchel. Unlimited Satchel empowers Alosha with several temporary effects, such as invulnerability, while also replenishing his current ammo like a normal Ammo Satchel.

** Alosha's revolver, the Screamin' Bernie, fires reasonably powerful bullets. Alt-fire consists of throwing the gun, which then explodes while a new gun materializes in your hand.
** Yuri's revolver, the Matchstick, fires flares. Alt-fire launches a sticky flare that continuously damages an enemy until they die.
** The Agent's revolver, the Silver Hornet, fires explosive bullets. Alt-fire has you swinging out the cylinder and launching six shots at once.

* 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, including {{Improbable Weapon}}s such as a CRT monitor, a telephone pole, and the concrete donkey from ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'', just by [[SomeDexterityRequired moving in a specific set of directions]] and GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger.

* ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy: {{Parodied|Trope}} with Alosha's Screaming Bernie, which can be thrown at enemies like a grenade and explodes just as spectacularly. This is actually the gun's ''secondary fire'' and not usually done out of desperation; in fact, the action itself costs ammunition, implying the thrown guns are fully loaded to begin with, and a new Screaming Bernie instantly materializes in your hand.

# '''Marty, The TREES Agent''': 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 out of its cylinder.

* AerithAndBob: The three player characters-Yuri, Alosha, and the TREES Agent(Before version 3.0c, he was called Marty).

* GuestFighter: The TREES Agent comes from an obscure ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6bHawbSsL0 YouTube]]'' web series and is voiced by his actor from that series.

* IKnowKungFaux: The Agent's melee attack, Tree-Kwon-Do, is RapidFireFisticuffs in essence, complete with its own set of {{Signature Move}}s revolving around punching and kicking the snot out of everything in front of him.

* InkSuitActor: The TREES Agent is played by and modeled off of the character from the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6bHawbSsL0 YouTube]]'' web series TREES. The Agent's weaponry of choice and martial arts "prowess" also originate from that series.

# '''The TREES Agent''': 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 out of its cylinder.

** The Berserker Pack comes with its own theme music to accompany the sight of you punching demons into walls.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Shurricane's secondary launches a slow-moving probe that, when it hits something or is remotely triggered, 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.

* FingerGun: Alosha's "shooter fists" is this-except that it fires actual bullets.

* FriendlyFireproof: Certain weapons that utilize explosive munitions curiously won't damage you if fired too close. A prime example would be the [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Ullapool Caber]], which Russian engineering has improved to the point of negating literally every one of its downsides.

** In versions of ''Russian Overkill'' prior to 3.0, the Pantokrator's secondary fire would occasionally crash the game.

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

* HealingShiv: The Union and Antonov can expend bullet casings to heal the player in various ways.

* ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy: {{Parodied|Trope}} with Alosha's Bernie Screamer, which can be thrown at enemies like a grenade and explodes just as spectacularly. This is actually the gun's ''secondary fire'' and not usually done out of desperation; in fact, the action itself costs ammunition, implying the thrown guns are fully loaded to begin with.
