History VideoGame / Guncaster

** One spell is called Rachmaninov's Punch after Sergei Rachmaninoff, a Russian pianist known for his large hands.

** And then the dial gets turned up to eleven ''and then rips the damn nob off'' with the Deadmaker's Mask in the official addon, an optional file made by Pillowblaster to house the things he played around with during making the mod that either didn't fit with the mod thematically or were so unbalanced even ''he'' couldn't excuse putting it in the main file proper. When picking it up, it merely says ''"A Curious Looking Mask...'' ''[[TemptingFate wonder what it does?"]]'' Putting it on results in...[[spoiler: Cygnis turning into a towering monstrosity of a dragon man, giving him a massive health boost, a massive melee damage boost, and what makes it truly even more ridiculous than the B.A.D.A.S.S. is it also boosts your magic; like turning your wimpy Flamebreath spell into a Film/{{Godzilla}}-esque torrent of fire that melts an entire room full of demons in seconds. Oh, and your flight is boosted and hazardous floors don't hurt you. And did we mention like the B.A.D.A.S.S. it's ''infinite until you turn it off too?'' Really the only weakness it has is that many Doom maps, obviously, aren't built with the player being a ''giant dragon'' in mind.]]

* KnuckleCraking: Pressing the reload button with Cygnis's fists equipped will prompt him to do this.

* HornyDevils: Sabbatha the succubus. Cygnis made the debatably poor decision to spare her life, and she's been hot for him ever since. [[AbhorrentAdmirer Cygnis doesn't care for her attention.]]

* MsFanservice: [[HornyDevil Sabbatha]], the alternate shopkeeper, befitting of a (dragonoid) succubus is this in ''spades.'' A sultry voice, curvaceous body, slinky dress, and dialogue riddled with innuendo and outright propositioning towards Cygnis. However, some of her dialogue suggests that Cygnis [[IgnoreTheFanservice isn't particularly interested in Sabbatha's advances.]] Not like this discourages her, in fact his lack of interest [[PlayingHardToGet excites her.]]

** The addon adds the Golden Emperor, a powerful rocket launcher whose explosions can ignore walls with the right item, and is apparently alive or at least somewhat self-aware as it will generate a rocket (up to full ammo capacity) whenever it is "pleased" by the player.

** The "Gumpop" spell achieves the same result.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The protagonist of ''Guncaster'' uses guns and casts magic.

** If the final blow against an enemy is done by a barrel explosion, you get to watch it slowly inflate like a balloon before it pops into LudicrousGibs.

* PurposelyOverpowered: Everything in the game is designed to dial every single aspect of the player's abilities UpToEleven a handful of times, and throw some extra things in as well.

** And then the dial gets turned UpToEleven ''and then rips the damn nob off'' with the Deadmaker's Mask in the official addon, an optional file made by Pillowblaster to house the things he played around with during making the mod that either didn't fit with the mod thematically or were so unbalanced even ''he'' couldn't excuse putting it in the main file proper. When picking it up, it merely says ''"A Curious Looking Mask...''

*** As of the 3.777 version, [[UpToEleven both power-ups can be used at once]], turning Cygnis into [[spoiler:a draconic [[VideoGame/DoomEternal Icon of Sin]], who can fire Old Dreadful bolts from his hands at incredible speeds. He also has two gigantic Revenant-like missile launchers, which are able to fire a demon army-destroying barrage of explosive projectiles. Certain spells are powered up ''even further''; that Flamebreath spell? Now it's a torrent of green-plasma flame that's somehow even more damaging than the previous. And this all stacks with his usual powerups by the way.]]

->''HERE BE DRAGONS''
-----------------

!! This mod provides examples of:

** One spell is called [[Music/SergeiRachmaninoff Rachmaninov's Punch]], referring to the musician's large hands.

* PinballProjectile: The aforementioned Frostbite spell, but also, the Longhorn gets an upgrade to shoot electrically charged bullets that bounce off surfaces.
** The stratocaster for the Pulverizer chaingun allows it to create large balls of lead out of the bullets it fires, which promptly go pinballing around the map once fired, flattening and splattering any unfortunate monsters they collide with.

** And then the dial gets turned UpToEleven ''and then rips the damn nob off'' with the Deadmaker's Mask in the official addon, an optional file made by Pillowblaster to house the things he played around with during making the mod that either didn't fit with the mod thematically or were so unbalanced even ''he'' couldn't excuse putting it in the main file proper.

''[[TemptingFate wonder what it does?"]]'' Putting it on results in...[[spoiler: Cygnis turning into a towering monstrosity of a dragon man, giving him a massive health boost, a massive melee damage boost, and what makes it truly even more ridiculous than the B.A.D.A.S.S. is ''it also boosts your magic;'' like turning your wimpy Flamebreath spell into a ''massive gout of fire worthy of a dragon that melts an entire room full of demons in seconds.'' Oh, and your flight is boosted and hazardous floors don't hurt you. And did we mention like the B.A.D.A.S.S. it's ''infinite until you turn it off too?''

As the dimensional mess caused by [[VideoGame/{{hexen}}the Serpent Riders]] started to take its toll, the universes began to crumble under the pressure of the Chaos Sphere. Anomalies were a common occurance, and things started to get really ugly. From one of the worlds which received such treatment comes the mod's protagonist - Cygnatius "Cygnis" Flaynithere. A bit crazed hero-wannabe, who's also far from being a human. A skillful gunslinger who actually hates magic, as it's the cause of all of the mess he was thrown into. Still, he doesn't mind using it to get the job done. What kind of job, you may ask? That'd be kicking D'Sparil's ass, of course!

* RevolversAreJustBetter: The Longhorn revolver has excellent stopping power and accuracy for a starting weapon.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: If the final blow against an enemy is done by a barrel explosion, you get to watch it slowly inflate like a balloon before it pops into LudicrousGibs.

* GradualGrinder: The Stratocaster for the Strucker loads it with slugs that fire slower than the primary mode, but cause any enemy they hit to slowly lose health.

* Teleportation: Outside of the teleportation native to the base games, the spell "Darkpath" allows you to teleport yourself "anywhere it strikes you fancy, as long as you can fit in the destination spot."
