Description             : Struggle is a single-player mod for Doom 2 with
                          limit removing compatibility. It features new
                          weapons and monsters replacement with DeHacked
                          patch. Some of original monsters are also slightly
                          changed, so it's recommended to check out the info
                          below before you play this one. Thanks, and have
                          fun. :)
                          P.S.: This wad uses heavily modified DeHacked 
                          patch. So it is recommended not to use other 
                          custom gameplay patches.
                          P.S.2: Par time is based on UV-MAX, not UV-Speed

You wake up in the morning and watch the news.
The newsflash reports that the demonic invasion is suddenly begun.
Millions of people were killed within less than an hour, and it's getting worse.
You pick up your pistol & hammer, and see what's actually going on out there.
You better struggle yourself to live than just stay at home during the invasion... I guess?
