This is my first post. Before proceeding, I would like to congratulate the developer for this wonderful roguelike. It has great atmosphere, even for someone like myself who didn't play the original Doom games, and it is appropriately challenging until the very end.
That being said, I managed to beat the Cyberdemon by suicide. The easiest victory, no doubt; but with only one med-pack and a couple of rockets, I didn't think I could defeat him otherwise. Not only is this my first Doom RL victory, but my first finished roguelike! I didn't think that day would come...
