Mighty Doom brings the iconic Doom franchise to mobile through an adorably violent top-down shooter
Bethesda’s insanely popular video game franchise, Doom, needs no introduction. The FPS shooter has dominated the genre for decades and has featured releases on all major platforms ranging from the Sega 32X, and the Game Boy Advance, all the way up to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 4. Now, Android and iOS users can also join the fray as Mighty Doom is making its way to smartphones.
Doom games have existed on mobile in the past and players can still play the original Doom and Doom 2, which have been re-released for the platform. But there was never a standalone title just for smartphones. Mobile gaming has been on the rise for a while now and technological advancements have made them capable enough to grant players great visuals and gameplay.
That’s where Mighty Doom comes in. It is being developed by Alpha Dog Games, Bethesda’s subsidiary studio. Mighty Doom, set in the Doom animated universe, promises to be adorably violent. It is a top-down arcade shooter, with Mini Slayer as the main protagonist, which is a plastic collectible that was brought to life through a sudden wave of Argent Energy.
Like his more alive counterpart, Mini Slayer is transported into a Hellish domain where he must take on a plethora of animated monsters. Sure, they look a little adorable, but they’re just as scary. Players will be running and gunning as they fight their way through waves of unforgiving creatures in procedurally generated levels. Boss battles make their way here as well.
Mighty Doom has been around for a while, as it was already soft-launched on Android last year. We now have a clear release date in sight as it launches globally on March 21st. Pre-registrations have opened in the respective stores as well and you can sign-up by clicking on either link below.
