Shooter

Horror · Sci-Fi · Survival

Doom delivers a relentless, hyper-violent ballet of destruction. Its defining mechanic, the Glory Kill, demands aggression; you're rewarded for getting up close and personal, chainsawing demons into giblets to replenish health and ammo. The raw, visceral combat loop, coupled with a blistering metal soundtrack, creates an unforgettable power fantasy that encourages constant forward momentum and strategic resource management. It's a modern shooter that understands what made the original so special: pure, unadulterated fun.
Doom, the brutally fun and challenging modern-day shooter, can now be taken anywhere with Nintendo Switch! 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 for Nintendo Switch also includes all the game's multiplayer DLC and Arcade Mode.
