‘DOOM returns as a brutally fun and challenging modern-day shooter experience. Relentless demons, impossibly destructive guns, and fast, fluid movement provide the foundation for intense, first-person combat – whether you’re obliterating demon hordes through the depths of Hell in the single-player campaign, or competing against your friends in numerous multiplayer modes.’
Doom released for the Nintendo Switch worldwide on November 10, 2017. It also released worldwide on May 13, 2016 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC.
