The Union Aerospace Corporation's research facility on Mars runs red with the blood of employees who’ve learned a new meaning for the phrase 'wrongful termination,' but that barely matters to the inexplicably mute Doomguy, who shoots anything and everything which moves. At its worst, Doom is a repetitive series of enclosed rooms filled with demons, all of which you must kill to advance, complemented by a derivative and poorly thought-out multiplayer mode.įirst impressions wise, Doom strikes all the right notes. It's exhausting and exciting and a little bit dumb, and when you're into it you're all the way in. It feels like a Doom game as you desperately try to find health pickups to keep you going, an ever-growing menagerie of demons snapping at your heels. The original two games are also officially available on iOS as well, and will, amazingly, run at about a dozen times the resolution they originally did back in the ’90s.At its best, Doom is everything it should be: a single-player campaign that’s just you, your super shotgun, and barely the amount of ammunition required to kill every single demon on Mars. Is it still any good to play? Ten dollars lets you find out.
It was a huge graphical advance at the time, and due to its deliberate use of lighting still looks pretty cool, though of course highly primitive in other ways. Probably been a while since you played it that way, right?Īs for Doom 3 - well, my most salient memory of the game is playing the leaked Alpha version, which scared the pants off me and almost put me off the actual game. Importantly, these include 4-play split-screen deathmatch and co-op. But if your console of choice, with your surroundsound system and big screen, is how you tend to play games, then perhaps it’s worth a tenner to put these enduring classics on there. Not that you haven’t had ample opportunity to play them - and the thousands of free maps available for PC players - these last couple decades. DOOM, DOOM II, and DOOM 3 are all available now on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PS4.
