Inanely easy gameplay with terrible level design; it is so incredibly easy to soft-lock yourself throughout the levels, especially the fourth episode. Ironically, this is also my favorite episode due to the variety of enemies and *some* large fights. It also includes a quake E1M1 remake - but in the fashion of the rest of the game, it lacks about half of the geometric complexity that QE1M1 has and is about 3/4ths the length too. Even levels which *should* be long, like "The Gauntlet" are incredibly short for their nature. Where the designers intended for non-linear design, the game feels linear. Where the designers intended for linear design, the game feels obtusely difficult to navigate. The magic system can basically be ignored - even the guns can, to an extent. You start off with 3 melee weapons, only two of which are actually worth talking about. The axe is about as strong damage-wise as the sword, but after a few missions can be upgraded to return health on hit. Otherwise, the axe is pointless - it swings about half as quick as the sword, making it painfully slow in combat. Being able to upgrade your 'strength' stat and get a flat buff to weapon damage sounds minimal when some enemies can take 50+ rounds of ammo to kill, but since melee weapons multi-hit with around a dozen rays, putting even 5 or 6 points into strength can make you one-shot any enemy you face. The guns are fun, but the double barreled shotgun, especially with the fire upgrade, is really the only weapon you need to beat the game. I didn't even use half of the weapons for almost the entire campaign because they just had to use when compared to the dbs, and sometimes the minigun if you're feeling like it. The magic system is pointless - I cast spells maybe 20 times throughout the game. The game never tells you how to switch spells (spacebar + scroll-wheel), so it's not very useful to unlock magic using the joint unlock point system that magic and guns share. Of the spells that you do get, only 2 of them are notably useful - the shield spell and the ammo spell. The shield spell absorbs a huge chunk of incoming damage, making combat forgettable. The ammo spell replenishes ammo for your equipped gun. Otherwise, the spells are lackluster and pointless. It was worth the $2.00. It is not worth the normal price.

Got this game for $1 thanks to the summer sale, and its been absolutely amazing so far! I love the spritework and the combat is great! The upgrades and spells are pretty cool too. Definitely will check out the sequel when I get the chance!

Fun Game

Sadly, I couldn't finish the game even though I was about to get to the final boss, due to a PC crash leading to Steam wiping my save file. :( That said, still highly recommend if you like DOOM. It's not perfect. but a lot of fun once you get past the first hour, which can be pretty difficult. Game's so much fun even after losing 10 hours of progress, I can basically guarantee I'll pick it up again to finish it someday.

Неплохой такой бумер-шутер. Первая половина игры на высокой сложности проходится стартовым мечом, а вот дальше уже приходится напрягаться и жонглировать разными пушками.

Добротный "бумер" шутер старой школы на несколько вечеров. Не оч сложный и не оч долгий. Вариативность билдов для прохождения. Куча пушек и их вариации + магия, перки и прокачка. Неплохой импакт от стрельбы. Несколько режимов игры. Карты не слишком запутанные, ключи найти легко, секреты чуть посложнее. Ачивки не сложные и не требуют находить каждый секрет. По музыке - основная мейн тема огонь(основная причина покупки игры) + несколько треков хороши, остальные - как будто бы недоработали. Из минусов - нет легальной возможности сброса прокачки, выбранных перков и улучшения пушек. P.S. Багов на текущий версии почти нет (15ч): 1 раз под текстуры провалился, бесконечный рычаг +1 секретам на уровне и странное временное начисление доп жизней в режиме одной жизни.
