DOOM + DOOM II

Too many demons, not enough Jesus. Okely-dokely, but no thanks!

DOOM rocks so frickin’ much dude. Probably one of the most important and influential shooters of all time and despite its age it’s still such a blast to play today. The movement is simple but so fast and fluid, and just plain fun to control. The weapon variety is so well balanced with them all having their own different strengths and use case scenarios and they all just feel so GOOD to use! - Berserk Punch, turns the level into a game of Punch Out, great for conserving ammo. - Chainsaw, stunlocks lower tier demons and is good at saving ammo. - The pistol… okay, sucks but it takes at most 10 seconds to get something better. - Shotgun: Classic Workhorse, great at taking out low tier demons, even semi-decent for sniping. - Super Shotgun: Outright one of the best weapons ever coded into a video game. One blast, 20 pellets, perfect for close range drive-bys paired with your mobility. A clean shot does about the same damage as a rocket. Most satisfying weapon to use in a game full of incredible weapons. - Chaingun: Good single target damage and mows down a group of low tiers. Great at stun locking in a pinch and your best hits can weapon for sniping. - Rocket Launcher: High Risk, High reward. Fires fast and the AoE makes it incredible at dealing with crowds. Just try not to face-rocket yourself. - Plasma Gun: High damage, fast firing rate, best used in a pinch, and reliable in any situation if you have the ammo. Shame it shares it with… The BFG-9000: Rare, but oh so powerful. Nukes everything in front of you. It even eviscerates boss monsters if you know how to use it right. Topped all of with the monster variety, which is near PERFECT (Doom 2 specifically). So many different monster combinations for unique and varied encounters. Dangerous enough to not be complete push overs so your approach to combat isn’t mindless, and JUST enough health to keep them as threats but never being too spongey to make them tedious. Doom’s gameplay loop has such an immaculate flow, than just makes it so good to play. I really do think that the only thing that may be a little outdated is some of its level design and even then a lot of base game’s ones are still good and memorable. The modding scene is so huge, Honestly I could reccomend Doom 10 times over based on that alone. Even after all this time, there’s something about Doom’s sprite based art style that’s still so timeless. I will admit many of the base game levels aren’t exactly lookers, but given that you’re playing a custom mapset, Doom has so much potential to actually look so visually stunning and distinct from anything else. Side note: Doom already has a pretty good soundtrack already, but the Doom community is home to some of the most talented MIDI musicians you’ll ever find. I’d reccomend you play through The Plutonia Experiment, the Master Levels and No Rest for the Living using the community midi packs if you can figure out how to setup those up. My biggest recommendation is if you come out of the main games enjoying the basic combat and gameplay loop, please do check out the modding scene on Doomworld. It’s legitimately so worth the trouble figuring out to configure a custom source port to play so many unforgettable mapsets and experiences. (Personal recommendations are: Valiant, Speed of Doom, Back to Saturn X Episode 1, Scythe II, Ancient Aliens, Grove and MyHouse.wad just to name a few) It feels really corny to say, but Classic Doom really is Eternal. There’s a reason there’s still an extremely dedicated and active community for it. It’s already so worth playing it just for its historical value alone, but it also just happens to be just an incredible FPS game today. I couldn’t reccomend it enough. So what are you waiting for?! Buy this game, grab that shotgun and blast those demons back to h*ck! As a bonus: So I didn’t even exist when Doom first came out, I only got into it somewhere around 2018-2019, but my dad was there from the beginning. Recently he’s gotten back into Doom with the switch port of this game and he’s been playing through it on his own time, sometimes with me watching him. And with me being the classic doom nerd that I am, I’ve been teaching him and guiding him through the levels and showing him all the secrets I remember. He’s slowly been making progress on his own on Ultra Violence, and occasionally he does ask for my help, but he has been doing really well for himself. He doesn’t generally play many games that often, so just personally for me, I gotta thank DOOM for giving me some more quality father-son bonding time as cheesy as that is. ^-^

DOOM foi uma grata surpresa, definitivamente um jogo atemporal, clássico e muito divertido. Existe um grande incentivo em você realmente explorar o mapa, pois é bastante recompensador com os secretos, e é gratificante encontrar um por contra própria. Mesmo que os inimigos se repitam, possui bastante variedade, e os bosses são maneiros demais, todo o design é excelente e muito bem feito. Adendo pra algumas fases extremamente confusas e punitivas, o que pode frustrar bastante sem um save state.

The game in windows is a lot faster then the dos version with improved sound and music. Keeps you on your toes. cheers

Recién 2026 y me pongo a pasarme DOOM 1 y 2.. supongo que nunca es tarde. La recopilación es perfecta, no solo tiene ambos juegos clásicos, sino que además tiene todos los DLC incluidos de la época sumados a nuevos DLC creados para esta entrega que suman horas y horas de juego. Además, agregaron niveles de la comunidad reconociendo el trabajo de los map makers y ampliando el contenido el juego, un lujo. Además, a tener en cuenta: es completamente configurable para el gusto de quien lo consume. Podes hacer que se vea como en los 90' (en mi caso, ese fue mi objetivo ya que usé un monitor CRT de la época) o hacer que se vea HD en pantalla panorámica haciendo que se vea de 10 sin perder la esencia, podes elegir la banda sonora antigua o remasterizada (MUY buen trabajo en el remake de la música), y muchas otras modificaciones fáciles, ordenadas y satisfactorias para personalizar la experiencia como quieras. SI bien aún no jugué los dlcs y focuseé pasarme los juegos clásicos, no cabe duda que tarde o temprano voy a intentar hacer el 100% de este juego, es extremadamente divertido y envejeció muy bien, sin dudas se merece ser reconocido por marcar un antes y un después en el género. Para mi gusto personal, aunque DOOM 1 tenga menos contenido que su secuela, sigue siendo superior en diseño de niveles y dificultad nivelada (es difícil pero no injusto en dificultades altas, sigue siendo satisfactorio de jugar).

DOOM 1 y 2 me dieron testosterona pura.

Essa versão é maravilhosa, definitiva
