History YMMV / RussianOverkill

* GoodBadBugs: Sometimes it's hard to tell whether or not it's a feature. However, there is one such technique who's intentionality is dubious at best: Dodging the Gopnik's nuke mode by jumping. Provided it detonates below your feet, and is at a minimum horizontal distance away from you, you'll take ZERO damage.

** That being said, the Yamato is one of the most popular weapons due to its ease of use, WaveMotionGun and [[spoiler:the ability to skip levels if needed]].

* 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:Yamato's "Quantum Jump" feature '''''skips the level outright'''''.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Punching an enemy with the Berserker Pack creates a mini-explosion that damages any enemy that happens to be near your target. The Blood Punch ability from ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'' works in a nearly identical manner.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The primary source of enjoyment from this mod is simply due to how boundary-breakingly ludicrous it can get.

* CrazyAwesome: The primary source of enjoyment from this mod is simply due to how ludicrous it can get.

* StealthPun: The Colonel Pillzkanone rapidly shoots bouncing, exploding pills. A [[OnlineAlias "Pill-o-Blaster"]], if you will.

* {{HSQ}}: Playing Russian Overkill for the first time WILL blow your mind to the edge of the solar system. Playing it more after that still provides glorious amounts of entertainment. The sheer amount of content present is mind-boggling. Highlights include:

** Firing a {{BFG}}'s alt fire mode with its respective AmplifierArtifact activated.
*** Actually, scratch that. ALL of the superweapons' alt fire modes are truly awe-inspiring.

* CatharsisFactor: This mod is for anyone who's had a really bad day and want to vent out their anger and frustration using the most over-the-top weaponry as possible.

** Deploying a shotgun-shell orchestra with the Pantokrator. Bonus points if you sync the orchestral hits with your primary fire, considering the weapon sounds like a damn howitzer.

* AwesomeMoments: Oh, there's a lot to go on here. What's really awesome is how each weapon fits such a specific niche. Once you're familiar with the entire loadout, you'll be able to switch out from gun to gun, utilizing each weapon's strengths and maximizing your carnage.
** An awesome moment for mod developer [=PillowBlaster=]: Coding a fully-fledged, 3D voxel TANK. IN THE DOOM ENGINE.

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: That being said, there's also nothing stopping you from sticking with your favorite weapon of the bunch and powering through a campaign using just that weapon.[[note]]Unless using said weapon is [[SplashDamage highly detrimental to your well-being]].[[/note]]

** Your first time killing yourself with the more powerful weapons. The quotient increases exponentially depending on what power of 10 your hit points are at.
