Wrath of Cronos RPG
Greetings for everybody!
I want to apologize for bad english - it's not native language for me.
Short introduction
Well, if someone is still remember the old-school FPS by Id and Raven Software such as Doom1\2, Hexen, Heretic or Strife and also did nostalgic for these, so you probably already knows about the some programms famed as "ports" - for example "GZDoom", "Zandronum" or "Doomsday". They are small indie freeware which allows to launch and play to old games with improved graphics, sounds, custom maps or mods and so on, at the modern hardware under modern OSes.
Wrath of Cronos RPG mod by Thetis is cross-game mod which adds a lots new features that's wasn't in the original games, and actually transform them into the new action-RPG games.

* - v2.3-v3.0 only with patch by vidumec, look "*" in INSTALLATION section of Guide
NOTE: I strongly recomended to use GZDoom 2.2 for installation and launch, so I made unpack-and-play WoC.zip based on GZDoom 2.2 x86. GZDoom 2.2 x64 and GZDoom 2.2 for Mac is also included, just open README.txt.

7. 13 rare and unique equipable accessories
8. Alchemy craft system, which allows to create potions with a different effects
9. Very expanded bestiary which includes graded mobs and class-bosses.
Also I decide to share another interesting Wrath of Cronos-based mod which is an attemption to convert Hexen game into Diablo 2 FPS\RPG! Unfortunatelly it ins't finished and polished but quite playable. NOTE: DON'T unite both mods folders (WoC 2.0 and WoC 1.6a+Hexen_Diablo2) into one, because this mod probably works only in current pack!
