Doom
Nov 10, 2017 9 years ago
Doom, the brutally fun and challenging modern-day shooter, can now be taken anywhere with Nintendo Switch! Relentless demons, impossibly destructive guns, and fast, fluid movement provide the foundation for intense, first-person combat – whether you’re obliterating demon hordes through the depths of Hell in the single-player campaign, or competing against your friends in numerous multiplayer modes. Doom for Nintendo Switch also includes all the game's multiplayer DLC and Arcade Mode.
What it’s like
This experience is a high-octane symphony of violence and momentum. You play as the Doom Slayer, navigating hellish landscapes with fluid, aggressive movement that prioritizes speed over stealth. The core loop revolves around 'glory kills' and resource management through combat itself; you must stay in the fray to survive. While the narrative provides a mythic backdrop for your rage, it serves primarily as flavor text rather than a driving force. The atmosphere is oppressive yet exhilarating, defined by heavy metal soundscapes that sync with the action. Multiplayer modes offer competitive arenas, but the single-player campaign remains the definitive experience, offering intense, fast-paced combat that rewards aggression and spatial awareness above all else.

Keep in mind The narrative is minimal and often nonsensical, relying on environmental storytelling rather than dialogue or plot depth. It may feel repetitive to players who prefer complex strategic layers over pure reflex-based action.
