Doom 64 is a reedition of Nintendo 64 FPS under the same title. The game was developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks (the original was the work of Midway Games).

Plot

The action of Doom 64 takes place after the events presented in the first two installments of the Doom serie. After victorious battles against demons on the surface of Mars and Earth, mankind decided to deal with their nests on the moons of the Red Planet, Phobos and Deimos. The moons were bombarded with powerful ordnance, but the resulting radiation made it impossible for people to observe the results of the project, and thus to notice that a mysterious being survived the offensive, bringing back to life every undead and hellspawn it finds. After the operation, a group of soldiers is sent to the place, whose task is to deal with the threat. However, the unit is slaughtered, and the only survivor is the main protagonist of the game. From now on, the mission, on whose success depends the fate of humanity, rests on his shoulders.

FPS series being one of the precursors of the first-person shooter genre. The series was created by id Software studio and has, so to speak, three "fathers" - John Carmack, John Romero and Tom Hall. However, over the years, developers such as Midway Games and Nerve Software have also been involved in its development. Although the series made its debut on PC, over time it was also released on consoles, as well as on mobile devices.

Doom 64 is an impressive port of the forgotten son of the series.

Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln

While it was already something of a relic when it launched on the N64 almost 25 years ago, Doom 64 remains a great example of just how refined a formula the series offers and just how good a job the late Midway did in the shadow of id Software. The lack of local multiplayer support still stings, even after all these years, but with support for motion controls on Switch – something Nightdive has already pulled off to a tee with its Turok ports – and the addition of a new DOOM Eternal-themed level, this is classic retro shooter that deserves a little more love.

Push Square: 7 / 10 by Graham Banas

Something that hasn’t aged quite as well are the shooting galleries. The enemy spawns feel too abundant on some levels, causing the gunplay to get a bit too monotonous. This is especially true on 'The Lost Levels' which are brand new bonus missions meant to connect “old” Doom to “new” Doom, but end up overstaying their welcome.
