What is DOOM?

A fast-paced first-person shooter set in a demon-overrun research facility on Mars and in Hell. As the lone Doom Marine, you move through a single-player campaign, using guns, upgrades, and melee attacks to kill demons; multiplayer arena modes and the SnapMap level editor provide other ways to play.

For you if...

  • +you prefer aggressive combat without cover or reloading
  • +you enjoy metal soundtracks and hunting for hidden secrets
  • +you want a campaign, arena multiplayer, and level creation

Not for you if...

  • you dislike graphic gore and violent melee finishers
  • you tire quickly of repeated arena-style combat
  • you want extensive storytelling between firefights
