https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/blood-extra-crispy-mod-released-packing-more-weapons-gore-gameplay-enhancements/
VGames has released a new graphics overhaul mod for Nightdive Studio’s latest KEX engine remaster of Blood, called Blood – Extra Crispy. Blood – Extra Crispy adds more weapons, more fire modes, more gore, as well as gameplay enhancements.
Inspired by Brutal Doom, Blood – Extra Crispy also adds some execution/finishing moves. Additionally, it adds some new kill animations for almost all enemies.
Version 1.0 also optimizes the blood splatter from explosives, reducing the lag when blowing up lots of enemies at once. Moreover, it adds new blood spurt impact effects for HITSCAN damage on flesh material types. Furthermore, it adds a new debris system that will create material-specific debris when explosions impact surfaces that last for a maximum of 1 minute before being removed. Not only that, but it adds new sprites for various particle effects for blood, explosions, fire, souls, and adds lots of new map object voxels.
>> You'll find it at ModDB.
