An ugly, challenging remix. 2/5 stars.

No Mercy: Apocalypse is the first entry in the "Apocalypse" series, which remixes official campaigns to be more difficult with modified level layouts and aesthetics. This 5-map campaign is not to be confused with a 6-map campaign of the same name, which is a remake of sorts with brand new maps.

This mod was originally a L4D1 exclusive created in 2013 or so, and you can tell because of how few spawns there are for weapons introduced in L4D2. In fairness, weapons of any kind are uncommon — extremely strained supplies, doubled Tank and Witch spawns, and crescendo events that can be triggered multiple times (even by Special Infected) are some of the many things that make this mod difficult.

I had a surprisingly good time because the difficulty is still mostly fair and everything else is competent, yet I can't deny that this mod is just an uglier, jankier version of No Mercy. Try it if you want an intense challenge, but that's all you're really getting.
