Spike's Revenge & Lyra's Rampage by RoTexun - More Pony DOOM-likes

Play Spike's Revenge
Play Lyra's Rampage

For some reason, we just can't get a break from pony games with guns, particularly DOOM-likes. We have here two very short but sweet games about a dragon going on a slaughter for his waifu and a schizo going on a slaughter for her husbando, respectively.

The former game features our favorite purple reptilian going on a vengeful genocide — no, we're not talking about Barney — against the diamond dogs and a mysterious other antagonist group to rescue his kidnapped waifu, Rarity. The story is basically non-existent, besides the beginning cutscene displaying Spike's grief, which in combination with the extremely muscular depiction of him on the title screen, leads me to the conclude that he binge-ate gems all day to become like that.

The latter is the real highlight, telling Lyra's heart-wrenching "rescue" mission of the newly-discovered human in Equestria. Bon Bon kindly gives her the location to the S.M.I.L.E. headquarters, to which Lyra gratefully responds by stealing and crashing her car on the way to the destination.

Lyra's Rampage is an incredible adventure, with masterfully rendered and voice-acted cutscenes, spanning several unexpected encounters with foes and allies alike, and journeys through worlds which will challenge your capability to withstand the vast absurdity of the game more than your gaming skills.

You can also watch them on our YouTube channel, though they are so short there's little reason not to play them yourself.

The ORIGINAL Scoot Hard by Waffle Iron Studios

Download The Game

Yeah, so, funny story: while replaying Scoot Hard DX, I randomly stumbled upon the ORIGINAL Wolfenstein mod, Scoot Hard. I myself thought it was lost to time, but it's here, rough edges and all.

There is very little information about the game out there, without even a trailer to speak off. The only real source for this game is a short (and innacurate) page on the Wolfenstein Fandom Wiki about it, which is how I stumbled onto it.

Originally released in 2012 as a beta. (hoo boy!) It received a handful of revisions until late 2017, accumulating to a 3 episode experience which is even more brutal than its successor. (Do NOT play this game on the hardest difficulty. It is NOT fun.)

Wolfenstein enjoyers will surely get a knack out of it, but casual players who have little to no experience with the classic Wolfenstein games should:

Move their ego aside and play on one of the easier difficulties.
Watch a playthrough of it
Just play the successor...

The game is a product of its time, and while a lot of the charm is still there — high-resolution cartoony graphics, silly enemy one-liners and high quality music and sound design — the game is limited by being a Wolfenstein mod, requiring you to learn keyboard-only controls for a first-person shooter, which will throw you off for a good bit. For historical reasons it should be known and documented, because the pristine gem that is Scoot Hard DX might not have been born without it, but if you want to experience the definite interactive story of Scootaloo running and gunning her way through the Rainbow Factory, just play Scoot Hard DX.

RariDoom by Bahatumay – Doom With Changeling Genocide To Rescue Your Friends and Little Sister!

Download the Packaged Version (Recommended)
Download the standalone Custom Edition WAD
Download the original Raridoom for ZDOOM

Raridoom, also known as Rarity vs. The Changelings, is a DOOM mod by bahatumay about Rarity rescuing her friends and her little sister from the changelings. The game originally began development back in... shuffles imaginary papers... 2012!.

Blud is COOKED 💀

Queen Chrysalis may have had evil plans in the past and gotten away with them, but none of those compared to kidnapping Rarity's friends and her little sister, Sweetie Belle! Slaughter the hive with an unexpectedly wide range of unique unicorn spells and...

Remember when this scepter was a meme? This game didn't forget!

...other interesting weapons.

Don't be fooled by the age and obscurity. The game's slow and steady development cycle may have caused it to go under the radar, but the quality and quantity of content it boasts speaks for itself! The game boasts 36 levels (including secret levels)! For reference, that is over twice as many as Scoot Hard DX, an equally awesome DOOM mod which we've featured before.

For technical reasons, we recommend playing Raridoom Custom Edition — yes, a mod of a mod — by Niko the Grunt. The mod (of the mod) adds more sound effects, fancier visual effects, and makes the game compatible with the newer DOOM engine. If you have no experience with DOOM mods and just want to just download and play, we packaged up the whole game for you here. Extract the archive, run gzdoom.exe, hit Play and get blasting! If the game does not boot, change the Options to use OpenGL.

Scoot Hard DX: Daytime Drama Zero by Waffle Iron Studios. DOOM with Scootaloo in the Rainbow Factory!

Download on the official site!

Waffle Iron Studios have nuked Scoot Hard DX and stuff for various reasons. No matter, check the bottom of the article for downloads!

Yippie-ka-yay MotherB**cker

-Chicken, aka Scootaloo.

Scoot Hard DX: Daytime Drama Zero is a WIGZDOOM mod which released 3 years ago and which I am simply flabbergasted to see has not received any attention at all from any part of the fandom.

Loosely based on Rainbow Factory by AuroraDawn, you play as Scootaloo, who must escape the Cloudsdale Weather Corporation and get her friends back – by kicking flank! With tons of humor, an array of equine enemies, huge levels, powerful weapons, a look and feel like something off mid-2000s Newgrounds, and full voice acting.

This game is simply chock-full of love and passion. The game knows what it is and doesn't take itself too seriously. The voice acting complements it perfectly, being as cheesy as possible and reminding you that, yes, you are indeed playing a silly (but absolutely AWESOME) pony game.

The next part of the article will be me showing some of the awesome easter eggs and details I have found in the game. I highly recommend you check it yourself, as to not ruin the surprise. Mild spoilers ahead!

Compilation Post #1

Hello! Sorry for letting the site go quiet for a while. Between other projects of mine and personal life things, there hasn't been much time to devote to playing through fangames to write individual posts. In an effort to bring some activity to this place regardless, I'm going to start writing little compilation posts of the smaller projects we receive in our submissions inbox. Expect a variety of content in these, from completed games to pitches for larger projects that just don't have enough information available yet to fill an entire article.

If any of the content here looks like it should have its own separate article, feel free to leave a comment saying so!

Castle Pinkiestein

If you've been following the Spike's Quest blog, you may have heard that its creator was alternating between working on it and a side-project titled Castle Pinkiestein, a first-person shooter/puzzle game starring Twilight Sparkle as the protagonist, trapped inside some sort of cruel nightmare in which she is forced to kill mutated Pinkie Pie clones. Aside from this there really isn't much else for info on the game (aside from what we've heard of it formerly being a minigame in Spike's Quest), so I guess we'll just have to wait for now and see how the project turns out.

My apologies for the overall lack of content lately as well, I'm just waiting for the My Little Game Dev Marathon to finish so I can post about the results (it officially ends at some point tomorrow, which will be followed by a one or two day delay until I get the go-ahead to write the compilation post).

No Guns in Canterlot

There's a distinct lack of first person shooters in the pony fandom, and for good reason: colourful horses just aren't as fun when you can't see the ones you're playing as. However, that hasn't stopped Jach (you might be familiar with some of his previous works, such as A World You Should Not Know), who decided to switch from the Blender Game Engine to Unity3D and make a game about shooting changelings with guns, because apparently magic missiles aren't good enough for some reason. Players also have the choice of playing as Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Shining Armor, each with their own weapons and magical abilities, which offers some more variety I guess.

No word on when the project will eventually be released, although Jach claims he'll set up a blog for it in the near future with development updates.

Friendship is Fragging Video Update

Since apparently some of you have been constantly bugging Negation Squared about another video update for Friendship is Fragging, they gave in to your whining and were forced to release one for you. So go on, watch it! And don't blame me if it's really boring, because you were the ones who clamoured for it!

Just kidding, it's not that bad of an update, although it's pretty evident that the team has been focusing most of it's attention on MLP: Rise of Vicis and not so much on Friendship is Fragging. I'm fine with the FiF being delayed as long as they're still working on RoV, which in my eyes is a far more interesting project.

...And now for a piece of somewhat related news. Negation Squared has announced that they plan on releasing a demo for MLP:RoV in June, which I am really looking forward to. Let's just hope it doesn't fall into development hell, eh?

Rather Large Immolation Update

Immolation

The developers of the MLP: FiM-related first person shooter Immolation just released a massive blog post, and even though it's far too big to repost the entirety of it's content, I can still give a condensed summary of the original, massive wall of text (which you can read at their original post), along with some concept art and work in progress screenshots of the game.

Friendship is Fragging

The team behind MLP:Rise of Vicis (now calling themselves Negation Squared and with a Facebook page) are working on YET ANOTHER My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic fangame, and it seems to be a FPS. Now it's technically a mod since it's a Doom 2 WAD, but it will be able to be played without Doom 2, and as you can see it's still in a rather early state. They are planning on having deathmatch maps designed to look like areas in the show, new weapons and characters and a rather short single-player campaign with around 8-10 levels.

There is also no set release date (as usual), in case any of you were curious.

Immolation

At Equestria Gaming we get to see many different types of pony-related indie games that are under development. Massively multiplayer online games, platformers, adventure games, and a complete overload of RPGS. Ironically, up to this point in an industry saturated in first person shooters we have not seen a single first person shooter under development, and no, I don't count mods. However, today that all has changed.

A My Little Pony FPS (while still in early development) has arose. Find out more information after the break.
