The Nintendo Switch port of Doom took a massive game that was around 80GB in size, required a fairly powerful processor and video card and stuffed it into a 22GB package that runs on the Switch’s Tegra processor. This is not to say that using them is impossible, as the game allows adjustment of horizontal and vertical sensitivity, acceleration control (which gradually increases your movement speed depending on setting) and even the ability to turn off aim assist. Joy-cons, on the other hand, feel a bit small and not as well designed for a fps.

Though there may be a bit of a learning curve for those who are used to a keyboard and mouse for FPS games, especially one as twitchy as Doom, the game feels natural to play with a pro controller. None of the story is very deep, and serves more as a vehicle to give a reason to continue moving forward and killing demons, as if that isn’t a reward in and of itself.ĭoom’s gameplay is the quick, brutal fragfest that it was in the PC version. From there, you begin to travel your way through Mars while slaughtering hordes of demons on your way to close the portals to hell, learning bit by bit why the portals were opened in the first place. This won’t stand, of course, and he rips off his shackles while killing the demons with his bare hands, escaping to pick up weapons and a marine suit. The trimming that needed to be done to make this happen, however, is a constant reminder that the game is a port that could be enjoyed elsewhere.ĭoom starts with our friend Doomguy waking up chained to a sarcophagus that appears to have been running experiments on him, when demons start walking toward him. While it’s mind-boggling that Id Software was able to get 2016’s Doom running so well on the Switch, it makes sense that they wouldn’t want to be shown up by those who can get it running on a calculator. It has all the demons, giant guns, frags, and heavy metal that players expect from the series, all of which has landed on the Nintendo Switch. Not much can be said (or even needs to be said) about Doom.
