How it feels

A fast-paced, violent retro shooter with heavy atmosphere and constant tension as you fight demons through abandoned Mars facilities.

What players say

Players split on Doom 64. Fans call it an underrated horror take that trades metal riffs for creepy ambience and darker demon designs. Critics say levels are slow and maze-like, with too many Hell Knights and Barons that bog the action down. Time-sensitive secret puzzles frustrate some. It feels like a bridge between classic Doom and Doom 3.
