Today, an iPhone port of the well-reviewed mobile title DOOM II RPG [App Store] from id Software LLC appeared in the App Store. Doom II RPG was created by the same team that brought us Wolfenstein RPG and offers a turn-based take on the Doom universe:
The forces of Hell have invaded our dimension once again, and only you can stop them from their ultimate goal—conquering Earth!
A mysterious distress signal calls your team—two hardened Marines and a rookie scientist—to a Union Aerospace Corporation research facility on Earth’s Moon, but you were unprepared for what awaits you. The forces of Hell itself have taken hold of the station and its inhabitants! Zombies and demonic monsters roam the halls, killing all who cross their path. Your backup squad is dead. Mysterious scientists conspire against you. Even the facility’s AI cannot be trusted. You are being hunted from all sides. Now, you must fight to survive, and try to stop the invasion—and uncover the truth—by any means available. The fate of all humanity is at stake!
The game challenges you to choose one of three available characters through which to take on a veritable menagerie of Hell-spawned beasts. Cacodemons, Cyberdemons, Spider Masterminds -- they're all here for your goring enjoyment.
Among the game's features as listed by id:
- Battle through 9 maps, spanning the Moon, Earth, and Hell itself. Over 8 hours of gameplay!
- Over a dozen unique weapons to find, plus improvised weapons such as Sentry Bots or even plumbing fixtures.
- Eleven different enemy types—each with multiple, increasingly-powerful forms—plus four bosses.
- Auto-mapping feature and mission-tracking PDA functions ensure you’ll never be lost again.
- Customizable controls; change the size, style, and placement of the control inputs.
- Three levels of difficulty will give players of all skill levels a challenge.
- Detailed graphics and complex levels which take advantage of the power of the iPhone.
As with Wolfenstein RPG, the pace of Doom II RPG game is entirely different than the first person shooter versions that we all know. We'll offer a closer look in time, while first impressions are being collected in our forums.
