CountryCide

CountryCide is a first-person action-horror game that also serves as a prequel to Trench Foot, another game by the same developers. Your objective in this brief but intense horror adventure set in the outskirts of a city is to discover a group of cultists who, apparently, are worshipping and trying to summon an unholy creature, capable of bringing doom to Earth.

Easy to install and configure

CountryCide is a mod for Doom II and, as such, is very easy to run. All you have to do is unzip the compressed file, which is in .pk3 format, in any folder. After that, you just have to drag this file to the GZDoom executable (the Doom mod manager par excellence). And that's it. The only thing you should keep in mind is that, as always, you will need to have the original Doom II or Ultimate Doom files on your PC for the game to work correctly.

A terrifying setting

The story of CountryCide places you in the shoes of a Templar who goes to investigate a farm on the outskirts of a city. From the very beginning, you will notice that something is not right. However, instead of challenging you with monsters and enemies from the first minute, the game manages to slowly build an oppressive atmosphere that will slowly make your hair stand on end. You will have to go through gloomy forests, neglected mansions and infected sewers. And you will always, always need all five senses focused on the game.

Frenzied action

One of the strengths of CountryCide is how it manages to deftly switch between quiet moments of tension and outbursts of action filled with gunfire and screaming. When the action does come, it comes in full force. The enemies in CountryCide are relentless and, if you take your eye off the ball for even a second, they will grab you and finish you off before you can even pull the trigger. This level of difficulty helps considerably to raise the overall tension of a game that, in itself, manages to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Download CountryCide and enjoy an excellent first-person horror game that will take you approximately one hour. Best of all, while the game is good in itself, it's really just the prequel to a much bigger title: Trench Foot, in which you'll discover much more information about the whole background of this terrifying adventure.
