Many times I found myself running on empty with my favorite boom-sticks having to either use my pea shooting pistol or hunt for ammo.Īmmo conservation comes in the form of brutal gory kills. For such a fast and frantic shooter which encourages you to go wild, there is a scarce amount of ammunition. It’s extremely fun as the nice variety of demons keeps you on your toes, and they’ll swarm if you’re not quick enough. The combat is fast and fluid with no noticeable slowdown, even during hectic periods. It’s an impressive amount of depth to a seemingly simple shooter.

These mods can again be upgraded to add perks that make them easier to use.
This is perfect for adding charged shots to your pistol, a rocket launcher to your assault rifle, and even a grenade launcher to your shotgun. If that’s not enough, each gun can have up to two mods attached by finding a little robot during your adventure. Guns such as the pistol, shotgun, the returning super shotgun, plasma rifle, and of course, the BFG are all here, and every one of them feels brutal and powerful. This time, it takes us back to old fashioned first-person combat as you’re encouraged to stay on the move whilst dispatching demons with the kick ass arsenal that you find fairly quickly into the campaign. Doom isn’t about stealth or cover hunting. Then it became clear to me why I was moving so fast: the combat.
At first it was a distraction as I found it hard to stop to admire my surroundings. It’s like you’re constantly super sprinting and there is no option to slow down. What’s instantly noticeable once you get up off of that chained bed to be displayed is the speed. Gaps and backstory can be found via the collectable memos scattered around each level if you really want to dig deep, but it doesn’t really feel that important as Doom is all about the gameplay.ĭoom plays like the original, stripping away any form of modernisation. It’s a far-fetched plot, but that’s why we loved it so many years ago. Voice acting and narration is actually really good thanks to the constant communication from facility director Samuel Hayden. There’s not much here in terms of story telling but it’s enough to give you reason to progress. It’s down to you to stop her and rid the red planet of the hellish threat. It takes no effort to break free, find some armor and bad-ass weaponry before finding out some crazy doctor has activated a portal to hell unleashing demonic hordes upon a research lab facility on the planet Mars. A similar story, locations, gameplay reminiscent of the original whilst at the same time, feeling new and refreshing.ĭoom’s premise sees the player as an unnamed soldier who awakens to find himself imprisoned by demons. We wanted it to give us the very same feeling we got when we first played the original. Doom fans, like me, had high hopes for this new game.

Well, after Doom 3 brought the famed series up into the modern era, developers id Software have brought it into the new generation with a straight up remake simply titled Doom. Doom was unforgettable thanks to its relatively normal seeming arsenal of weapons evolved into a super shotgun, plasma rifle, and of course, the BFG, all of which helped blast the demonic hordes with my character’s face reacting to every shot on the bottom of the screen.
I don’t know whether it was the cracking metal inspired soundtrack, the intimidating demons, or the dark and dingy levels, but I had the time of my life. The moment I slipped it in my Sega Megadrive (or Genesis in the US) I knew I was in for a gory, brutal, yet challenging adventure. Doom was my very first experience shooting in first-person.
