Doom (PC) is a legend of 1993, a time when sprites ruled the gaming world. Hardcore, demanding, fast, and relentlessly brutal. Now you can relive the same emotions with DOOM, a game so old-school and adrenaline-pumped that the title can only be written in capital letters. id Software's DOOM is a 2016 first-person shooter bringing back the speed, the violence, and the demons of the original game, but in glorious HD. Grab a Super Shotgun, smash some heads, and force hellspawn back where it came from.

Minimalistic storytelling

DOOM doesn't waste time telling you backstories, complex plots or elaborate cutscenes. A corporation opened up a portal to Hell to harvest its energy. Things happened. You wake up having to clean all of this up with lead, plasma, and seething rage. DOOM never drags your attention away from the carnage and the deadly dance on the screen, but the story is there, waiting. Inquisitive player can find it in logs and PA system messages, and other places.

Fast-paced DOOM gameplay

When you put on the Praetor armor you throw caution out of the window. Not because it makes you invincible. It's because it makes you fast, strong, and awesome. When your basic speed allows you to run circles around any other first-person shooter protagonist in recent memory you know that cover is for the weak. Engage in a violent dance of murder, strafing, circling, and descending on your enemies like a wrecking ball. You call the shots here.

Powerful arsenal

You start out with a pistol, and kill some lowly demons with it without any problem. And then it gets even better. Shotguns, rifles, plasma guns, and finally one of the most iconic weapon in video game history. Yes, the BFG 9000 is back to let you take another swing at the denizens of Hell, and it couldn't come at a better time. Upgrade your weapons to make them even more powerful and destructive. No demon will stand in your way, but they will try.

Glory Kills

Channel your rage and hate for demonspawn into Glory Kills. DOOM doesn't do regenerating health or convenient pickups. In DOOM you heal by murder and purifying the world of demon scum. Punch, rip, and tear demons to death with your (or their) bare hands and get health out of it. Run them through with a chainsaw to get back ammo. Play your cards right and nothing will get even close to taking you out.

DOOM is id Software's reboot of the genre-defining game from 1993. Incredible mobility, brutal combat, delightfully disgusting demons, and enough weapons and ammo to kill Hell seven times over. DOOM is an old-school shooter with modern design.
