The visuals have had a thoroughly modern makeover, leading to some truly unsettling demonic encounters, but more importantly the gameplay, while retaining some of the aiming and shooting aspects of a regular FPS, is entirely on rails, with the movement through the levels being strictly choreographed. Next up comes DOOM Resurrection (£1.99, iPhone), which once again pits the player as a lone soldier up against the hordes of Hell in a besieged Martian mining facility. Visually and thematically, it's very much a Doom game, but here the flowing first-person action is replaced by slow turn-based gameplay. DOOM II RPG (£1.99, iPhone), while an interesting enough project for Doom fans, is possibly not the biggest draw for younger iOS gamers raised on more sophisticated role-playing fare.
DOOM FOR IPAD FREE FULL
Starring titular hero Duke Nukem, it's fair to say that much of the fun comes not from its fairly predictable gameplay, but from the guilty pleasure of seeing the ludicrously macho Duke swear and slaughter his way through a landscape full of hideous aliens and big-breasted women… if you like that sort of thing.ĭoom's creator, id Software, has been very active on iOS with titles that push the boundaries of being a first-person shooter. It was notable for stealing Doom's crown, not in terms of popularity, but in the wave of controversy it stirred up on its original release. Remaining on a retro theme for the moment, the original Doom inspired a number of developers to create their own first-person shooters, a particularly colourful and infamous example of which is Duke Nukem 3D (69p, iPhone 69p iPad). Like Doom, Marathon 1 (Free, iPad), looks a little creaky in its old age, but it remains playable and particularly interesting for the fact that its creator was none other than Bungie, which went on to bring Xbox gamers the massive Halo franchise. In addition, the satanic themes and gore that so shocked the authorities back in the day now seem comparatively quaint. Due to its age, it neither looks as good as modern FPS games or plays as slickly.
