When the game came out, as you could see on the channel , the response side of it was severely lacking. And when Cazanu started posting previews of his mod on the channel's Discord (which also became a collaboration with Shay for a full overhaul of the response side) I got really excited. The improvements were massive, and having it released now - it does indeed deliver. Before we begin, here are the links to the mods: BloodFX Overhaul by Cazanu and Shay Shay's Visual Combat

Body damage Beginning with dismemberment - you have 3 points of amputation per limb, the head can be destroyed and the torso has 4 sections that get destroyed, revealing a sort of a bone and organ layer below. The one thing here that hasn't aged all too well is that bone and organ layer, which looks very low res c

When I first came across Ferocious the focus on response immediately caught my interest. Seemed like the combat took place in nicely responsive environments and the response on the enemies for the hits looked quite interesting as well.
