Persephone Volumes 1 to 3 is a substantial modification (Mod) released in 2019 for Doom II: Hell on Earth on PC. This package compiles three distinct fan-made episodes, offering over 30 new maps for the classic first-person shooter experience. The core gameplay involves fast-paced combat across fresh, custom-designed arenas, with Volume 3 featuring an overhaul to integrate co-op elements into the single-player mode. It provides extensive new content built upon the original game's framework.
The compilation provides a large volume of new maps for players to experience. Volume 1 features 8 primary maps, supplemented by a secret level and a unique, scripted "Cast and Crew" map. Volume 2 expands this with 10 playable maps, and Volume 3 contributes an additional 14 playable maps, resulting in a substantial collection of custom-designed combat arenas.
To create this unified experience, the developers made necessary adjustments to the original maps and resources across the individual volumes. A notable alteration involves MAP14 from Volume 3, which received a gameplay overhaul during the compilation process to ensure its cooperative-focused elements were integrated into the single-player experience.
As a modification built for a seminal first-person shooter, the core gameplay remains rooted in fast-paced, arena-style combat, requiring precise movement and resource management against hordes of enemies. The appeal lies in the fresh level design and the sheer quantity of new environments provided by the three bundled episodes.
The primary value proposition is the consolidation of three separate, large-scale custom content releases into one package. Players gain access to a total of over 30 new maps built specifically for the Doom II engine, offering extended playtime within a familiar but newly mapped environment.
This content is available exclusively on PC (Microsoft Windows) and was made public on July 24, 2019.
This specific release, Persephone Volumes 1 to 3, is presented as a complete package. There are currently no officially listed DLCs or separate expansions associated with this compilation, meaning the content released in 2019 represents the final state of this specific bundle.
