About this game
DOOM II combines demon fighting with finding your way through its levels. Collect ammunition for different weapons, bring out the Super Shotgun and search for the keys or switches that open blocked routes. Reaching and activating an area's exit moves you onward, so progress involves both surviving enemies and understanding the route through the map. This standalone classic re-release includes the community-made Master Levels and local split-screen cooperation. Its documented 2020 updates also introduced quick saving and loading through the pause screen, followed by configurable gyro aiming on Switch. Those options let you choose where to save a position and whether to use motion input for aiming.
Collected in series
DOOM is id Software’s first-person shooter series about fighting demons with powerful weapons. Most entries favor constant movement and quick weapon changes, though DOOM 3 takes a slower, horror-focused approach. Later games make attacking part of survival, turning enemies into sources of health, armor and ammunition.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
For players who want demon shooting to include ammunition decisions and route finding.
Weapon-specific ammunition and locked routes suggest an experience shaped by both fighting and searching. The added Master Levels and local cooperation provide further ways to engage with that established structure.
Strengths
- Ammunition types and key or switch searches give players more to consider than firing alone.
- Local split-screen cooperation offers a shared way to tackle the demon-filled levels.
Weaknesses
- Players seeking uninterrupted firefights may find searching for keys and switches pulls attention away from combat.
Who it is for: Players interested in classic first-person shooting, level navigation and managing ammunition across weapons.
