This game is more Wolf3D\ROTT than it is Doom. And this isn't a good thing. Wolf3D with it's flat and dull level design just hasn't aged well, and this game doesn't get any extra bonus points just for having some neat looking pixel graphics. Within just 30 or so min of gameplay I was already bored out of my mind. It also doesn't help that the game for some insane reason thought it would be a good idea to not allow any mid game saving which means having to restart if you die. Wasn't the benefit of PC gaming back then that you could have mid-level saves where as this wasn't possible to do on the console? Why eliminate one of the biggest advantages of PC gaming in a game that is intended to emulate the greatness of the past pc gaming era? Other issues with this game include bad pacing, clunky melee combat, and bad encounter design. I just can't recommend this game even if you are somebody who enjoyed old school classics like Doom or Duke 3D. It's just not that good. I'm sorry. I hear the author of this game is only 19 years old. Well it shows, because clearly he needs more experience as a game dev before he can make something good. 5\10
