To a veteran like me though it would have been better to see Doom 2 themes in Doom 2 RPG game.

The level design and some weapon design closely resembles what can be seen in Doom 3, which is not a bad thing. But to counter those omissions you get to encounter some new enemies, Chainsaw Goblins, Sentinels and Sentry Bots.Īs you make your way through the game you come across more modernized scenery. The only ones you do not fight are Barons of Hell, Heavy weapon dude, Pain Elemental and Former Human Sergeants. you run into almost every creature that has been featured in the Doom franchise.

On the way you encounter familiar creatures such as zombified workers, Imps, Revenant and many others. Similarly to the FPS series Doom 2 RPG is broken into about a dozen levels which take you from experimental facilities on Mars to Earth and eventually to Hell itself. He is the icon of the series, and it would be blasphemy to play as anyone else. Me being me, I could not pick anything but the Sarge. A more agile Major, a smarter Scientist, or run of the mill and everyone's favorite Sarge. You can choose which stat you want to have more off by picking one of the three characters when starting the game. These not only make your character better, they also help add variety to the gameplay through pretty cool mini games. Practice on a dummy to raise aim or lift weights to raise strength. You can hack vending machines to raise IQ, or exercise on a treadmill to raise agility.


There are several ways to raise your skills. However it does add more complexity to the gameplay by having a lot more weapons to choose from, a lot more enemy variety and adding character stats that you can level up and make yourself better at fighting the hell spawn. John Carmack himself worked on this role playing adaptation of Doom 2.ĭoom 2 RPG uses the same engine as Wolfenstein RPG, and therefore shares a lot of the same mechanics. The father of deathmatch and telefragging.
