Doom is a first-person shooter and a landmark title in video game history. You play as a nameless space marine, the sole survivor of a demonic invasion that has overrun the Union Aerospace Corporation's research facilities on the moons of Mars and Deimos. Your mission is to fight through hordes of hellish creatures—from possessed soldiers to fireball-throwing Imps and the fearsome pinky demon—across episodes of increasingly nightmarish levels. Armed with a devastating arsenal including a chainsaw, shotgun, chaingun, rocket launcher, and the iconic BFG 9000, you must blast your way to the source of the invasion and close the gateway to Hell.
