DOOM 2016 free pc game |
Doom (stylized as DOOM) is a science
fiction first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. A reboot of the Doom series, it is the fourth title in the
main series and the first major installment therein since the release of Doom 3 in 2004. The game is played entirely
from a first-person perspective, with players'
taking the role of an unnamed
marine, as he battles demonic forces from Hell that have been unleashed by the Union
Aerospace Corporation on a future-set colonized planet Mars.
The gameplay returns to a faster pace with more open-ended levels, closer to
the first two games rather than the slower survival horror approach taken by Doom 3. It also features
environment traversal, character upgrades, and the ability to perform executions
on enemies known as "glory kills". The game also supports an online
multiplayer component and a level editor known as "SnapMap", both
co-developed with id Software by Certain
Affinity and Escalation Studios respectively.
Originally announced as under
development as Doom 4 in 2008, the game underwent an
extensive development cycle with different builds and designs before being
restarted in 2011 and revealed as just Doom in 2014. The game was released
worldwide onMicrosoft Windows, PlayStation 4,
and Xbox One on May 13, 2016. Doom was very well received by critics; the
single-player campaign, graphics, and gameplay were praised, whereas the
multiplayer mode drew the most criticism.
Single-player
Doom's single-player mode has "badass demons, big
effing guns, and moving really fast" as key principles, according to id
Software Executive Producer Marty Stratton. As the combat system of the game puts emphasis upon
momentum and speed, the game allows players to perform movements such as
double-jumps and ledge-climbs. The approach is known as "push-forward
combat", which discourages players from taking cover behind obstacles or resting to regain
health. Players instead collect health and armour pick-ups
scattered throughout levels or kill enemies to regain health. "Glory
Kills" is a newly introduced melee execution system wherein, when enough
damage has been dealt to an enemy, the game will highlight it and allow the
player to perform a quick and violent melee takedown. The game features a large
arsenal of weapons which can be collected and freely switched by players
throughout the game and require no reloading. Weapons that are recurrent
throughout the series, including the super shotgun and BFG 9000, make a return. However, in the case of the
latter, the BFG only has a very small ammunition capacity yet is extremely
powerful. Similarly, the chainsaw returns but instead is a special-use weapon
that relies upon fuel but can be used to instantly cut through enemies and
provide a greater-than-normal drop of ammunition for the player. Many enemies
from the original games such as the Revenant, Pinky, Mancubus, and Cyberdemon also
return, with many also redesigned. Doom's campaign was made to be more than 13 hours long,
and the "Ultra-Nightmare" difficulty level features permadeath.
Multiplayer
Doom's multiplayer was developed in conjunction with Certain Affinity. Several
multiplayer modes, such as traditional four-player deathmatch and team ("clan") arena as well as domination,
warpath, and freeze tag, exist within the game. Players
can also use power-ups and teleporters in a multiplayer match. They can pick up
a pentagram, one of the power-ups featured, to transform into and fight as one
of the four demons featured in the game: the Baron of Hell, Prowler, Revenant,
and Mancubus. At launch, the game features nine maps.
