Awesome. I never played this game until I got this app. I sure missed out. The levels are designed pretty well. You can find secret areas and keys. Single player mode in FPS are so linear these days. For it's time it was really good, the game is still good but you cant actually move the gun around and actually "aim" and stuff. Like it's just you moving around. Although i dont mind that. You can shoot any gun from any distance and as long as its in eye distance it'll hit. Not always exactly realistic but eh so what.

Devs fixed controls, but.... First off, I’m going to say, this is an EXCELLENT port of Doom! I really appreciate this last update, especially bringing back the classic title screen! Now, this update made the controls and map FUNCTIONALLY WAY better than before making the gameplay all the better for it and is much appreciated, BUT the downside is that AESTHETICALLY the control and map button icons are really bland looking. I would recommend the following: - Using the in game open bare fist sprite for the pickup/interact hand button control. - The LOOK (not the functionality) of the joystick in the last version for the current joystick, but keep the functionality of the current joystick. -Maybe add some color (but still be transparent enough to see through) to the shoot bullseye button. - The map function WORKS great but it would LOOK better as a roll or grid map icon (in color as well). -Lastly, an option to adjust control size, button location and button transparency would be much appreciated. Overall, this is a fantastic port of a ln undisputed gaming classic and the latest update is certainly appreciated and most definitely a step in the right direction. Please keep up the great work devs!

They finally updated it, and it WOULD have been perfect.... The game runs great (using iPhone 7+) and is the full classic Doom experience! Unfortunately, there are a couple key things missing that hold this port back from greatness: 1) No controller or keyboard support. Doom was originally played using arrow keys and the space bar, no mouse required. Since iOS supports external keyboards, this would have been really cool. iOS also has native controller support, which this port also lacks. It’s a shame to have to use touch controls as they are probably the worst input method for an FPS. 2) Almost no touch control customization. You can adjust the sensitivity of the “look” tracking, but that’s it. No side flipping got south paws, no movement joystick adjustment, to touch zone customization. This stuff is really nice to have if you’re going to force us to use touch controls. Input controls make or break an action game like this, and I’d say the crossover between classic Doom fans and touch control fans is extremely small. If these were changed, this port would be 5 stars easy.

Controls Are Terrible. Devs, the virtual control stick has terrible acceleration going on. You can’t really control yourself. Also, if I let go of the v-stick, my character should almost dead stop. It’s quite ridiculous that you let go, and you’re ‘sliding on ice’. Why does no one on the development team or their superiors have any inspiration to have those problems fixed so the game is an enjoyable creation? If your development/design decision in this aspect would be analogous to an alternative art form—such as sculpture—would you really (really?) be proud of your final design choices then? If not, then what was the original intent of making it in the first place? If I ever see the move v-stick mechanism properly corrected with an update, 5 Stars immediately.

It’s back! But there are a few parts missing and there’s room for improvement. I’m glad it is back for current iOS software. Love the new opening screen. However, there are plenty of features from older versions for iOS that are missing, namely the option to switch your control scheme and the quick save feature. My gameplay is much more difficult without them. The advertisement also mentioned multiplayer but all I see is a single player option. I don’t know if I have to advance in the game to unlock it or what. I was expecting an updated version of this game, not a re-release as it seems that this is. Also, I don’t know if this is an issue with the App Store or the developers, but I don’t see Doom II anywhere. There is the Doom II RPG, but not the actual Doom II which was what I was expecting. I also had to search for this app by typing in id software in the search bar rather than just the name of the app/game.

It’s Doom, but somehow worse. I’ve owned this version of Doom since back during the early iPod Touch years, and it was a blast to play then. The controls were good, and smooth. They weren’t perfect of course, being touchscreen controls, but they were far better than this. I’m not sure if it’s the strange way the controls shift between walk and run, or if it’s the acceleration, but the movement controls are inconsistent, and the aiming controls aren’t much better. Regardless of what sensitivity I have it set to, I’ll be stuck between hardly being able to turn, and flinging myself around in wide angles. If you want a good example of touchscreen FPS controls, take a look at Call of Duty mobile. Fully customizable, including by size, and able to be moved around the screen. Don’t cut the screen up in sections for each individual control either, give us clearly defined “buttons” on screen that we can decide where we want them to be. Also, would it be too much to ask to see more add-on wads, like “Maps of Chaos”?

Amazing game. One of my friends think Doom is cr@p and Black Ops 2 is superior. He's dead wrong. This is the godfather of FPS games. Insulting this game is an extremely foolish thing to do. It's like insulting your parents because without them, you wouldn't be here; like if Doom wasn't here, we wouldn't have Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo, etc. Anyways, few flaws which are very minor is the movement feels a bit sluggish. There are also some graphical bugs like enemies overlapping barrels when they're supposed to be behind them or whatever. Also, please change the music back to its original form. My favorite track, The Imp's Song, doesn't sound as good as the original. Still, fantastic game overall. If you love FPS games, definitely get this. Also, please, please, PLEASE port Doom 2. I don't want the cr@ppy RPG, I want the real classic Doom 2 on iOS. That would complete me. PLEASE MAKE IT!!!

Five star shooter classic with poor shooting control. A new update but no changes to the controls? Plenty of other reviewers share my frustration, please give more options. The double tap to fire is not a reliable shooting mechanism. I’m less frustrated with it than was with the previous update, moving and turning works really well on the iOS. How about keyboard support. I bought Doom awhile ago when Doom II was not available, please fix these controls before I lose interest in buying Doom II on iOS This is a fast paced action game that needs responsive controls. Why did the game modify the shoot mechanism and the weapon select? Allowing keyboard control would solve this...Why doesn’t this game support keyboard control? Why did they revise the controls with the release of Doom 2? I would buy Doom 2 right away if they fix the controls.

No Strafing?!. This is the second port of DOOM through the App Store. I played the first port; it felt exactly as it needed to feel. Touch Screen controls were modifiable to your preferences and you could tilt your screen to strafe. In this port, they’ve removed that option entirely and playing with a touch screen feels awful. Aiming is sensitive (sensitivity can be adjusted) and the double-tap controls to shoot and sprint are not easy to use; they’re not as seamless as the original port. I need for some of the original port settings to be restored for me to actually enjoy this version. I played the original port on my iPhone for hours, and this version does not seem to be as easy to play because of how the controls cannot be modified and how the game feels overall; there’s not anything that is seamless about this awful port of this classic game. I’ve been playing this game since I was three years old. I’d like to play it anywhere, but this version does not make that reality for me. Another thing: I have this game for iPadOS and it’s playable with a game pad, except you cannot strafe side to side on a controller, either. Bethesda, ID, can we please make this happen for iOS?

Why take away multiplayer?. When this first came out it had multiplayer support. Then an update just took it away. All the Doom clones still have multiplayer. Why take away such an awesome feature? My sons and I used to love playing multiplayer on our iPads together, and now we don't play Doom at all because we can't play together, thank you for breaking what I paid for! Now can I buy any more apps from ID? No, because I don't know when they're just going to break things and take away features. You can't take away features after something is bought, unless you fix them and put them back, that's called stealing. It would be like if Ford came to your house and yanked the stereo out of your car while you were sleeping under the guise of saying they were improving your car, but then never gave your stereo back. In the real world that's called theft, and it's a dishonest way to do business, and customers that get burned aren't repeat customers.

Bring back Multiplayer and original control layout for mobile. I am actually impressed as well as glad to know they have updated the port fixing nearly all the issues it had. However there still is issues with the controls. I don’t know about you, but I’m one of the few that thinks the games original control layout on the previous mobile version worked better. If that was brought back it make gameplay a little easier. Multiplayer is something that definitely needs to be brought back too.

Get it!!!!!!!!!! Edit: update this.. Edit: I’m writing this about 10 years after I wrote this review, I’m addressing this to id software(or Bethesda?). I would like you to update this to be compatible for iOS 12. I’d like to play doom again. I don’t think you will anytime soon, but I paid for this game so many years ago, one of the first games I bought from the App Store with my own money, and I cannot even play it as of right now on my iPhone or iPad. My rating will go down for right now. If sega can keep updating their retro games, why can’t you? It seems like you haven’t updated this game for a long, long time. Now, enjoy my review(which isn’t even a review) of this game when I was about 14 years old: I remember playing this wen I was I lil kid and I loved it the only thing is where are all of the cheats??? Actually there r.... Put four fingers on screen and keyboard pops up and type in "god" 4 god mode...and "give" for ammo...enjoy and it does work I just did it

Control Options ?. When I first got an iPhone back in 2011, the first game I downloaded to it was Doom. After awhile, the app was no longer supported by the iOS, which I found greatly disappointing. I was recently elated to see the game return, only to find that A) Bethesda wants you to create an account with them, which is annoying but luckily skippable and B) the options for the control scheme have been changed. There are not different options for the control scheme anymore, while the app used to have different control schemes. In short, Bethesda let a perfectly good version of the Doom app die so they could install one with less player options to get you to sign up for their service

Finally a port that does Doom justice. The latest version of Doom fixes resolution for the latest generation iPad Pro models, adds 120 fps support and great controller support. Gameplay is fluid and fast… now if they would just add keyboard and mouse support, that would take this port over the top. The extras, cheat modes and gameplay are perfect. Many are complaining about the onscreen touch controls, but let’s face it, Doom was never designed for those (or a controller), but the gameplay with my Steelseries Nimbus is really fantastic (for a controller). Please add mouse and keyboard support- the only thing this port needs. Thanks Bethesda!

Great game; needs more things to it.. First off, I'd like to say that this is a pretty good port from the PC. Best part; PORTABLE! Secondly, I'd like to suggest some things to add to the game. 1. Doom II. Everyone wants it. Besides, you already added the "dblshotgun" in the weapons menu. I know that Doom II RPG was your plan for Doom II, but I feel like this game needs more of the Doom Experience. 2. I.A.P or DLC. Whether it be an exclusive texture pack or level pack, I feel like this game should have downloadable content in it. I don't know, it feels like a Doom sorta thing to do. 3. Multiplayer. Do I need to say any more? 4. Nightmare Difficulty. This one is kind of a nitpick, but it was in the original Doom. And plus, it would add to the feel of it. 5. Menu changes? Maybe you guys could add an option to revert the current doom menu to the old-fashioned one? 6. Music-reboot. Some people say that the music in Doom iOS doesn't live up to the sound of the old music. So. Remix? That's all I have to say really, so anyways, if you wanted to download this game, I'd recommend it greatly, because it's basically all the Doom action on one mobile device.

New controller support still cannot fire. As of Jan 1st 2021, I still cannot fire using my steel series stratus wireless controller (the small pocket sized model not the big Xbox like one). The shoulder buttons L and R only cycle the weapons and none of the other buttons fire. Both analog sticks work for proper movement. Obviously the standard thing would be dual analogs to move and R shoulder button to fire and L shoulder button to jump or open doors. Would it be so hard to allow us to map the controls? Or at least use a standard controller configuration? Old review: I have a steel series stratus wireless (small pocket sized iOS controller not the big version). The screen just constantly spins to the right and there appears to be no way to fix it. I’m not interested in playing without physical controls so it’s unusable

Better than expected. I have the previous version on an iOS 10.3.3 iPad Pro 10.5. While the controls are more customizable on the old version, they aren’t terrible on the new version. You can change weapons by touching weapon itself. Then a weapon wheel comes up where you can select from your inventory. Having to login is bogus, but they don’t ask for too much info—just make and use a spam email account. I made an account expecting to hate it based on some of the previous reviews, but I like the update enough to buy DOOM II.

F L A W L E S S ..... I was watching a video on speedrun cheaters that has "DOOM" footage in it. That got me feeling nostalgic, thinking about the great fun playing it on the SNES: something thought to be a technological impossibilty. So I mosey over to the App Store, remembering they had it when I had my iPad 1, but it became incompatible with iOS updates. Well imagine my surprise & delight to see that not only is it still here, BUT IT'S BEEN UPDATED!! However, being the cautious consumer that I am, I read the bad ["Lowest Rated" in this case] reviews first to see what's what. And all I could see was whining & complaining about how janked the controls are .... Please, take it from an *honest* reviewer folks: NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. I mean, you move with your left thumb, turn & shoot with your right: JUST LIKE YOU DO NOW IN EVERY FPS. lol The graphics/music/FX? Pixel PERFECT renditions of the MS-DOS original. So ignore those "Norman Naysayer"s -- get this, the latest "DOOM" version for iOS & iPadOS, and you will not be sorry. 🙂👍🏻

Great game with a lackluster port. Doom needs no introduction as it’s the most influential FPS of all time that people still play to this day. With the game’s 25th anniversary coming up, Bethesda and iD trusted Nerve to make a solid remaster of Doom 1 and 2 to resell on modern consoles and mobile devices. How unfortunate then with how bad these ports are. They may have fixed the issue with the slower music, but there is no reason for this game to run capped at 35 FPS with no option to change it. Hell, the mobile port you could get before they replaced this ran at a perfectly fine 60 with no drops, so I don’t know how they managed to screw the pooch with the Unity engine of all things. The aiming also feels terrible due to how your aim drifts whenever you swipe instead of just stopping. Thankfully, this can be bypassed by enabling a controller, but then you run into two more issues: non-rebindable controls, and more importantly, you cannot access the weapon wheel while using a controller, you can only cycle through weapons manually. WHY?! Just let me hold down a bumper and use the analog stick to select a weapon instead of taking a millennium just to cycle through everything I have just for the weapon I want. Hopefully this port will get to a point where it’s acceptable, but right now you’re better off just jailbreaking your phone and porting Doom to it yourself.

Disappointed again. Doom is trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to controls. The developers keep adding new features to make the game handle better, but when they fix one thing they manage to ruin something else. With this update, they managed to fix the atrocious input delay of the old version. At the same time, however, they have scuffed player movement. It wouldn’t be a huge complaint, but in a game which very much revolves around speed like Doom, this really spoils the experience. Until the controls are fixed, I wouldn’t recommend this port at all.

Great Doom port, bad controls.. The game is Doom. It looks and plays like it did on every other port since ‘93, which is a good thing. But the controls here have some issues. Movement and aiming are fine.. smooth and easy.. and strafing is nearly as intuitive as with my old mouse/keyboard setup. The firing contol is terrible, though. One, it’s integrated with the aiming control zone; and two, firing involves deliberate taps and double taps, instead of just press-and-hold. And in the same touch zone you’re trying to aim with! Although this makes the game somewhat frustrating to actually play, it’s still a fun and faithful revisit to this great classic.

THE LEGEND RETURNS. TL;DR: DOOM is a classic game that everyone deserves to play at least once. the controls work well enough, and Thy Flesh Consumed is a lovely addition to the game. If you like FPS games, DOOM, action games, or just want to have a good time, buy this game. Doom, if you somehow haven’t heard of it, is the game released in 1993 for MS/DOS. It wasn’t the first FPS and certainly not the last, but what it did was light the world on fire with the amazing gameplay, which still holds up today. Controls are… interesting, but they work. Once you get a handle on it you can play through this like a breeze.

AWESOME!!! But a few problems though.... I LOVE DOOM!!! I played the original and now I’m so glad I can slaughter demons on the go (at school, on the way home, etc.)! There are a few problems though: 1 - No Multiplayer. Why isn’t there multiplayer? In the older version, there was multiplayer, but now there isn’t, so now I can’t play deathmatch with my friends anymore. Why remove it? 2 - Doesn’t work anymore. I just updated my phone to iOS 11, and now the game won’t play because it isn’t compatible with iOS 11. Can you PLEASE fix that? 3 - No Nightmare Difficulty. Why isn’t there Nightmare mode? Maybe one reason for this is because it’s mobile and it may not handle it, but I’m pretty sure the iPhone 5 and up can. PLEASE take notice of what I’ve said! I don’t have a problem with the gameplay itself but can you please fix the game and add Nightmare and Multiplayer? I would really love that!

They never fixed the controls. I downloaded this three times ever since they came out with the “new and improved” version of mobile Doom. First time I immediately noticed the touch controls were abysmal. I left a review explaining how awkward the controls are. I looked at other reviews and realized about 99% of people noticed too. It’s been the NUMBER ONE complaint for about four years now. And after all the updates Bethesda keeps pumping out, they still haven’t addressed this issue. I will not give mobile Doom anymore chances, and I discourage anyone else from downloading this app until this problem is fixed. The controls used to work fine many years ago, back when mobile Doom was barely recognized. Now the game is unplayable. They just need to revert back to the old setup. That’s it. I’m not the first person to suggest this. Why are they not getting the message?

Amazing.. This port was my first time playing Doom, and I love it. Not only is it fun to blow some demon heads off, but just everything about it is very quirky and creative. It really captures what I think old fans of the series really love. Also, the suspense scene gives it style. I actually find myself horrified sometimes when suspenseful music is playing and you are wandering around alone and you can hear the monsters growling but you can't find them. And then- boom! Something shoots at you and you go crazy with the controls trying to find the enemy and kill it. Its just a good feeling. I hear that the old Doom had multiplayer, though- i'd love it if you could put that back!

Please update controls (5 stars pending). I’m glad the game is updated, I love it, and I will give 5 stars after these two issues are addressed: 1. If you look at the preview photos (which are out of date) there was the option to have all moving and turning controls on one side of the screen and a shooting button on the other. This is so that you don’t have to lift your finger to look then shoot and hope you hit your target. Please return this feature. 2. Right now, as soon as you lift your finger before pressing down to shoot, the camera pans slightly, like it’s scrolling, so you end up looking away from your target before you fire (and miss). This makes it impossible to use the rocket launcher.

Everything You Remember. Hard to go wrong with this classic game. The FPS that made FPS a mainstream genre. Loaded with classic MIDI music, Health and ammo pickups, 2D enemies in a 3D world and all the glories of 90s FPS games. Pixelated gore, MIDI Hard Rock, and spring door elevator traps sure to get you excited about shooting demons. This port runs faithfully at high FPS and has all the cheats and level select you could hope for in a re release. It even has an add on feature online for the true classic DOOM experience. It also has the an original style dynamic 2D map. And, yes, it has well designed gamepad support. The only thing I can request to make it a better experience is allow customizing the touch buttons for different size phones and hands and have separate sensitivity for gamepad and touch. It’s all here. Find out where first person shooters first hit the mainstream or get your DOOM fix. It’s hard to go wrong here.

Original Controls Are Far Superior. The original control scheme before the unity update is far superior. It just works way better, and is far smoother. The new features and additions to the update are really awesome, but it’s really difficult to play on a touch screen. I have been trying where as I beat Doom 1, 2, Ultimate Doom, TNT, & Plutonia on Ultra Violence with the old controls (I had a jailbroken iphone at the time and I manually swapped out wad files). The new controls are just unresponsive, and the old control scheme allowed you to manually place the buttons, switch between different control schemes, and the joysticks moves on screen as you moved increasing the velocity the further you moved from the original point on the screen you touched.

Controls are off. The old port of this actually had pretty good controls. This one is laughable. The move stick has a tap to run setting that you can’t change and it also has a pretend sensitivity to it so that if you hold the “stick” further you run faster. I end up basically walking around the whole time because moving my thumb halfway up the screen to move the proper speed is clunky and blocks the view. The tap to shoot setting is awkward as well and something that plagues touch screen games in general, if you want to shoot you can’t aim. You have to aim, pick up your thumb and hope the enemy doesn’t move and if they do, use the awkward strafe stick on the left. Automatic weapons are also not hold down to shoot like you might expect, you double tap for that as well. The old controls where there was a shoot button was awkward but made more sense. Other than that this game has been awesome since it came out so don’t be surprised by anything, you might just be wishing for some arrow keys and the ctl button instead of the clunky crap controls they slapped in here.

No longer works with iOS 11! I want my money back or an update. Title say it all, I paid for this app I love doom and I want to play it. This has not worked since iOS 11 came out. It’s been a while and there has been no update for this to work. How can it be okay for consumers to pay good money for an app only for it to stop working entirely!? This is unacceptable and not at all conductive for generating further sales. I do not trust the developers and will not purchase anything they make until or unless they get it together. Either update this app so it actually works or refund the customers. Do not buy this or any of their other apps unless they actually start caring about their customers and not letting their games become completely incompatible.

Bad controls. First of all: thank you for adding a level select, thank you for fixing rapid fire. For some reason, before when firing, you had to “double tap” to rapid fire which made zero sense and did not work 90% of the time, but now you can hold down the “fire” button and it will fire continuously automatically, which is an improvement and earned this port two stars. Unfortunately, the default controls are still really bad. There’s a “fire” button on the right which is so small you miss it constantly when you want to fire. There’s also a fire button on the left side which is so close to the “use” button that you will definitely experience a rocket to the face when you intend to open a door at least once. The end result is Doom which is fun to mess around with on the “I’m too young to die” difficulty or with God mode enabled. If you can somehow play this on Ultra Violence with default controls you are a far better person than I.

Apple PLEASE update this game. Got a message saying that DOOM classic will no longer work with iOS11. Please update, this is such a fun classic game! I'd hate to loose it, they don't make first person shooters like this anymore :). Heck, I'd even pay for an updated version, totally worth it in my opinion. My only other option would be to not update my iPhone anymore, that way I won't loose my favorite game. It would be really really great if it was updated, and I think many classic first person shooter gamers like myself will happily dish out some cash to see a favorite game preserved :)

Great port, as good as the original. If you like me liked the original game a lot, then you will enjoy this trip down memory lane . It's a great port of the game, if you are mindful of the following flaws: - You can only have one saved game. And your game is saved if you leave the game for any reason, including receiving a phone call. If you are dead or stuck in a situation where you will die without hope of surviving, you lose your saved game and only can start over. Lucky for you, in this game you can start at any level. - Moving your character via the virtual joystick will take some time getting used to. But in the end it works fine. No side stepping though in this game, so it's more difficult to avoid fireballs. - Aiming is easier. - No nightmare mode. I doubt that any updates will be made to this game, so no chance that this will be improved. But it is fun to play regardless even with these flaws. So a great game!

What happened to the controls????. The previous port of Doom for OS10 had the best controls of any Doom port outside of playing on a PC with a mouse. I know because I have played many of them. I have the classic Doom set for Playstation 3, I’ve played Doom on Jaguar, and also XBox. On all of those the controls are clunky. But the controls for iPhone OS10 (and earlier) were unbelievably wonderful! The face that you could tilt the phone for strafing allowed for a beautiful fluidity of movement that no controls on any console can achieve! And the controls options let you set them up in many many different ways to your liking. Now suddenly, on this new update, the controls are terrible!! Overly complicated, difficult, and have almost no customization options. At least have the option to go back to the old controls!! Please, please rectify this problem because otherwise, you have the greatest (and I mean the GREATEST, bar none) game for the iPhone ever!! Doom 2 as well. Excellent games. But as of now, it is completely unplayable.

Controls make it unplayable. Downloaded this on my iPad figuring this would be good with the iPad keyboard, seeing as the original was meant to played with a keyboard. The original game used the store keys to move forward, backward, and aim. While it seems like the iPad version does support a keyboard, The arrow keys do nothing, WASD moves forward, backward and strafes, and there is no way to aim or shoot. It aboard the only way to aim or shoot is to use the touch screen which is asinine. This could easily be solved by allowing controls to be re-binded but of course there is absolutely no option for this. Typing the old cheat codes into the keyboard works so that’s a cool Easter egg I suppose. It would be cooler if the game was playable.

DOOM I is a great port!. I had my reservations, but this works great with a controller, and runs great on my iPad and iPhone. I'm really happy and have also bought the other game, DOOM II immediately after a quick test run of this one. It also runs smooth as ice. It sometimes randomly crashes if other audio plays in the background, or if the app is left open too long. However, the save feature is super accessible and fast to compensate. Overall, an amazing port!

Controls are Awful. I love doom, and when I saw it finally got an update for the most recent OS I was super excited to finally get to play on my iPhone again. Installation was fine, and the game looks pretty great (although I wish it could take up more of the screen during gameplay) but there is one glaring issue that removes all benefits and makes a download not worth it. The controls. The controls make this game almost completely unplayable, especially in the way that Doom is meant to be played: fast paced and frenetic action. With how poorly the controls were optimized for this release, it makes sustained fire for any gun difficult, and maneuvering extremely difficult because the aiming touch controls are very sluggish and non-responsive compared to how they should be. Walking/running is fine, it’s the aiming that makes the game unplayable in the fast-paced way doom is meant to be played. The old control style was fantastic. Bring that back and all will be well in the Doom mobile world because this update, as of now, honestly was a little insulting. I want to say I paid 7 or 8 dollars for the game but my memory is pretty bad, and after waiting years for it to be compatible again I would expect it not to have such a glaring oversight in playability. I’m holding out that it’ll get an update. Please do consider fixing the controls.

The new update made Doom Mobile actually really good and playable. I remember playing this port and I refunded the game because of its terrible controls. However I heard the new update to Doom was out and this added better controls and widescreen. I watched a video about Doom Mobile’s New Update and heard good things about. I bought the game and to my surprise it actually felt good ripping and tearing the demons. The controls were MUCH better and I loved the new update controls. Widescreen made Doom SO much better. There still is a problem though, I really wish Doom Mobile worked on iPad’s. It works but the screen isn’t full sized so thats kind of a problem but besides that problem, Doom Mobile is now really good thanks to the update. I will play Doom Mobile more now thanks to the update. Thanks ID Software for fixing this big issue in Doom Mobile. However, if they added iPad Support and Keyboard and Mouse, Doom Mobile would be perfect. Thanks ID Software and the other people who worked on this game fixing the problems with the Doom Mobile Port.

Bring on the Doom. I played demos of this game on my Xbox360 and when coming across this game on mobile so then I decide to play it on the IPAD update 7.1.1 The game works and plays well just like it was advertised in the details section though getting your head around the control scheme won't be easy for the first few minutes (it took me 8 minutes to figure out the control scheme). Aside from the slight adaption issue their is no denying on how simply executed the game was put on to the App Store with no money gimmicks to drain out your store credits nor content gimmicks to advance to the next level, thank The Lord that ID didn't follow the usual Apple trend.

Good port, but a few problems. Overall this is a very good mobile port of doom. There are multiple flaws, but none of them are serious. - some missing textures that create the famous "hall of mirrors" effect - limited control scheme that doesn't offer much customization (no strafing unless you want the controls to be awkward) - a sprite (dead enemies, items, etc) behind another sprite might overlap even though it should be covered up - sound is a bit strange - no "nightmare!" difficulty mode - multiplayer has been removed entirely - there's a slot in the weapon menu for the super shotgun from doom 2 called "dblshotgun" but doom 2 isn't included - lack of mod support If you want to play doom 2 or any mods I'd recommend gameception, but you need to own the desktop versions of doom 1 or 2 to play them. From what I can tell id software has abandoned this app, so there's very little chance anything will be fixed.

Doom is back with key points missing.. It’s fantastic that DOOM is back on iOS. It’s everything you remember it being prior before it taking off with a major thing taken off which is the ability to change controls. The default controls in the re-release is absolutely terrible. From not being able to open doors automatically to having difficulties auto shooting with the “double tap” to auto shoot. Turning in the game feels terrible. I miss the dual stick scheme that was in the game before. Hoping Bethesda fixes this but I highly doubt it. Other than that, it’s the doom you love just with worse controls which is a big factor when you play on higher difficulties.

Controls are perfect. The one and only. When you’re on the go and need a quick hit. I bought this back in the iPhone 4 days and beat it with touchscreen. Now i have a MFi and it plays like a dream, or should I say a nightmare. until some bad mofs bring duke nukem 3d or quake to iOS then I’m down for a quick vanilla doom imp fragging session on the John any day of the week. Bethesda if you read this, where’s my si6il at??? How about a iwad store? Brutal Doom support? Reading other reviews it seems that they ruined the touchscreen controls. I can say they were good back in 2011, so if they are paying attention to reviews they ought to be revised eventually. The game pad controls are perfect though. R2 is shoot, Lstick is move, Rstick is turn.

Incredible port. But clunky without controller. This is DOOM. Don’t let any other reviews lie to you. The real way to enjoy this game though is with a controller. I’m using a Razer Kishi and it plays just like it did in the old days, but it’s near unplayable without it. I can understand how the task might seem daunting with little to no control over your character. But if you have an old Xbox one or PlayStation 4 controller laying around or a Razer Kishi them by all means, grab this and any other classic game you can find, because THIS game will at least run like butter

AWESOME!. I LOVE DOOM! It’s my favorite series, and seeing this on my phone brings joy. But this version only has one flaw. For people who uses controllers I suggest that the left analog stick should be able to move you everywhere you want, instead of only moving backwards and forwards, it’s a challenge trying to avoid demons when u can only move forward or backwards, I hope you can fix that or at least think about it, it would really help, but everything else FLAWLESS!

Great, but some controller problems. Had the previous iphone version of this, and was glad to see it reappear in the App Store. There are some neat new features—multiple save game slots, a fancy new weapons select pop up, for example—but the new control scheme is extremely frustrating. It’s hard to get the travel/movement wheel and the aiming/shooting wheel to work in sync, and harder still to aim and shoot since the functions are overlapped. The old iPhone control scheme was far superior/way more playable. Otherwise, great adaptation indistinguishable from the PC original. Hope they do an update that at least offers the option of different control schemes.

If they could update the controls... DooM has got to be one of if not my favorite video game franchises to ever exist. I remember having this port back when I first had an iPod touch and it was probably my favorite app to play on, but now that they finally updated it and I can play this on the go, sadly the controls are just really really bad. And now that the iPhone supports the use of a controller, you can’t strafe to the side like you can in the original which makes absolutely no sense to me?? Like seriously, how can you play an fps when you can only go forward and backwards. Cmon Bethesda, y’all be slackin.

Great port but one issue. The game is great and works well on mobile but I will say that the controls irk me. I had the first mobile port a while back and I’ll say, the controls where much better. There used to be a button that you could tap to fire your weapons and now you have to tap a part of the screen. That also gets complicated because now you have to tap on switches and doors to open or activate them. In the original port all you had to do was walk into them. Usually what happens when I try to open doors or press buttons is that my gun just fires and I lose all my ammo. So I’d say just to at least add an option to restore the old controls.

The controls aren’t bad. People keep saying the controls are terrible but I don’t see it and I don’t have a problem with it the only problem I have with it is the doors it got hard getting used to opening them without accidentally shooting your gun but I got used to it and honestly it’s not as bad as people make it out to be! when I got this game I expected terrible controls but no I really don’t see the problem and it’s doom on the go! The only thing I would ask for is death match and co-op on mobile if it’s not to much to ask for but honestly I think it’s worth the money!

Bad controls. I really despise the controls so much any time I play it its a nightmare and I just have to resist the urge to go get a controller and use Bluetooth and that a horrible thing if you’re mobile game requires tampering with something that can change you’re entire experience of the game honestly I don’t see why you don’t just do the controls a bit like UNDOOMED and if a what looks like a rip-off of you’re game seems better than you’re game at least on mobile than you need to rethink what you’re doing please just fix it if you ever happen to see this one tiny small little person out of what thousands ten thousands hundreds thousands peace

Great time killer. I love the Doom series. Has always been my go to for mindless demon slaying fun to kill some time. I saw the app was updated to support higher FPS and better controls. I read some folks were having trouble with them. On the 11 pro max it works just fine with no issues. I also noticed this title and Doom 2 were subsequently removed from the App Store. I hope to see them make a full return with updates that fix it for everyone so they can enjoy this great game.

Please fix the controls. This would be 5/5 if they fixed the controls

Update. Hello developers can you please create an update for the iOS 11 update. Because for doom to function an update is required for people like me to continue and enjoy the game . From Sebastian pianko

Control. The move control is a bit disappointment. I feel a bit dizzy after a game.

HONEY IM HOME !!!. OMG !!! It’s been years since a played this game. Everything in this game is good but you need to add Dopefish. Doom Eternal is soo... good, but this is something else. MEMORIES. SO IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE !!! DONT BAD MOUTH THE DOOM. !!! 😂😂😂 Have a good day. 😁😁😄 Bye... 👋👋👋

Love it. I was born way after this game’s original release, so being able to experience the classic 90’s shooter (with some improvements) on my iPad just makes my day! All I want is Doom 64 on mobile that would be AMAZING!

Why does the joypad move?. Loved the wolf3d port to iPhone so thought I would get Doom. But the controls are different - mainly with the joypad moving around the screen as you push it around - I don't like it and it's hard to control. Otherwise great port of the game to iPhone.

Good BUT. Hi I would like to address an issue with this amazing game first of all the original mobile doom was much better than this remake also could you bring back the other doom games to iOS etc. doom2 rpg, doom3 and the classic mobile doom version so at least people can still play the original version!

Awful. Gotta give the devs credit - it takes a special level of talent and skill to screw up a port of Doom. What makes this poor version even more appalling, is that there used to be a far superior version on iOS! Why they couldn’t replicate that same experience is beyond me. The lighting, sound and performance are all worse in this version, but not wholly intolerable. That this game could originally run on a 486, and the fact that this game is only almost good enough on an iPad Pro, is not a positive. The old DOS version didn’t have online DRM, either. The worst part of this terrible port, however, is the controls. You can’t run properly, it’s tricky to switch weapons, or shoot. For a fast paced game like Doom, this ruins the whole experience. These controls are unwieldy and slow. Again, the old iOS version of Doom actually had good controls! Do not waste your money on this, until or unless this is fixed, or replaced with a real version of Doom.

Please fix pause button for Dualshock 4 not working. Excellent you updated it to add full screen on iPad 4:3 ratio just like I wanted. Just one problem with Playstation 4 controller. When I press start it won’t pause game. All other buttons work like shooting, aiming, changing weapons etc. just pause doesn’t so menu needs to be brought up by me touching menu or pause button on screen.

5 star game with 1 star controls. I don't know what keeps happening with this game and the updates - the controls (which you could customize) were pretty much perfect years ago with the initial release, now theres a giant arcade stick and you have to tap twice to shoot? I wish I had never updated the first version.

Worked Great, until it didn’t. (OLD). It was great and I loved it, it was Doom. But then iOS 11 happened and it doesn’t like 32 bit software. So, where’s my money? I want doom back! Cmon id software, it’s not like you’ve gone bankrupt or anything. Edit: Oh it’s back, and thank god it is. It has been redone, too.

Excellent!!!!. Doom is back once again, thanks for updating the game to work on latest ios version. I miss playing this on my iPhone, now it’s back. yes! Keep up the good work guys you made us all happy again. Doom forever!!! 😀

Good, but.... Everything’s good and fun from the gameplay to the levels but it’s missing local lan multiplayer, I’d love to see multiplayer online or local added into this great classic game.

Poor controls. The old IOS version had far superior controls. Having to aim and then tap to shoot using a single control is terrible. The only way around it is to strafe and shoot but the strafe is slow so this often doesn’t end well. The double tap to continuously shoot doesn’t work. I’ve tried fast double tap, slow double tap, different areas of the screen to no avail. Bring the old controls back.

Disappointed. I remember having lots of fun with this when I was a kid, the graphics and sounds are great! Where this port lacks is in the controls, they are way to sensitive and move around the screen........ Not worth $6 more like a $2 game....... Feeling ripped off

Settings won't stick. V2 is poor. V1 was vastly better.. Turning off music is impossible. The setting doesn't stick when you leave the menu but the others do. The menu in v2 is nice looking but why did you remove multiplayer?! My friend and I used to play on it and now its gone! I also dont like the in game changes. You've taken the idea of classic and tried to make it newer. Leave it alone! Otherwise, its Doom so it deserves stars.

Yep, it's DooM.. It's DooM, so it's never going to get a bad review from me, and MFi controller support out of the box is an awesome addition. Couple things missing tho; 1 - MULTIPLAYER. Come on. This is such an integral part of the classic DooM experience. 2 - Ability to load external WADs. I get that this might be tricky given iOS security, but can it not be done via iTunes file sharing or iCloud or something? 3 - Less of a must-have, but cloud saves would be great for those playing on more than one device. Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy to see DooM finally come back to iOS. These things would just make it extra awesome and convince me to give it the five star review it deserves.

Happy 25th Anniversary!. It’s back! I’m so glad I can finally play Doom on my phone again, still as fun as I remember it being. The only things I’d like are: 1) The option to turn off the tutorial. It gets pretty annoying to see the tutorial for the controls keep popping up on my screen when I’m trying to admire scenery or carnage. 2) Different options for control schemes. I liked the old one where you moved and turned with one analog stick and had a shoot button. The new scheme feels a little clunky for some reason. 3) Make the chaingun and plasma rifle fire constantly when I hold down the fire button. I don’t want to have to fire a single bullet or plasma shot over and over again really slowly. Here’s to a great Year of Doom!

Update it. It’s good, it just needs some update loving for the newer phones :(

Controller bindings broken!. When using an MFi controller, the left analog stick does not allow for strafing, it just provides forward and backward movement only. I’ve tested with a generic MFi controller and a Dual Shock 4. Both have the same issue. Please fix; this is unplayable with a controller right now!

Just as I know. Got it because of doom eternal which just came out

Could there be a multiplayer?. Doom on iOS is a really good Doom port it’s similar to the Version on Steam, it has the same campaign same sound effects etc. But on the mobile port could there be a multiplayer so everyone can play with there friends and there family. But anyway this is a good DOOM mobile port.

Title:. Why did you change the controls the old version was soo much better when I actually used to play this game now it’s weird. And when you try and select a level that’s weird too. Bring everything old back or this game will die!

Best game ever!!. This game is so fun! It’s kinda scary but that doesn’t matter because of the awesomeness of this game!! ONE suggestion though, could you please add multiplayer? This would be really cool. Anyway, this game is EPIC! If anyone wants to buy this game I HIGHLY suggest it!

Great except. Really great except the game could use sensitivity controls for the movement like Wolfenstein because at the moment it can be difficult to move around smoothly, other than that it is great

If it ain't broke, don't FIX IT. I'm giving this 5 star review to the pre-IOS11 version of this game because not only did it work better than the current version, it was the definitive version and damn-well amongst the best playing fps titles on mobile devices. My suggestion if you want to start seeing more 5 star reviews is to look into the old customisable control scheme and cater for those of us that paid for the older version of this app.

DOOM is back on mobile, with great touch controls and controller support!. ok so most of the reviews say things like “The touch controls are terrible” or “add controller support” but now, they are great! Also, the Add on BTSX is amazing. Please add the ability to download other mods like Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch, Chex Quest and Batman Doom

Controls. Please add the old controls the new ones are terrible. Why would you change that??? There is literally no reason to have changed them so please change the controls back to having a separate button for firing your weapon. If you pay for a game it should be at least somewhat good.

Update for iOS 11. Since I updated my iPhone to iOS 11 none of the Doom games work. Please update them to iOS 11. Thanks.

Great port but has a major problem. Game upon loading on iPad Pro , iOS 9.3.1 it goes to a black screen, so I have had to uninstall until I.d fix it for new devices.

Need IOS 11 update.. Love the game and all. Brings me back to the good ole days. But please we all need an IOS 11 update so we can still slay all the demons of hell !!. Please update a.s.a.p!! Would be highly appreciated. Ohh and also do Wolf3d. Would love to play it on the go. Who doesn't love killing nazis on the go as well ✌️❤️

Real doom. Classic. Plays great with a controller. Maybe in the future we can use keyboard and mouse! That’s the dream. But for now, this is fun. THANK YOU for finally implementing proper strafing with the controller. Great implementation of the classic game.

Please update. Please update to suit latest phones

Fantastic!. This game is awesome! Very retro but great interface despite this and the secrets add an extra dimension to the basic premise of completing each if the four stages and 32 levels.

:). Was gonna post a review on how it doesn't work on ios5 , but didn't see the download for a compatible version come up.... I have now though , back to 5 stars :) your lucky!!....... Now.. Make doom2 and custom wads compatible too... Everyone here seems to want it so why not! I'm sure we will all pay a couple of bucks for it if necessary :)

Fun as all hell. So you are marine ripping through Hell what’s not to love it fells just like the original you still get that amazing feeling you got from the original amazing weapon yea it’s not that long but there’s tones of replay ability with cheats I mean infinite ammo with BFG you got to love that controls weird at first but you get used to them.

Can you help me. I love the game but something’s missing it’s the glory kills I think there’s no glory kill please tell me

Amazing, but.... Please make the double tap more responsive, when I double tap quickly it won’t auto fire.

Logging in??. Sorry Bethesda - why do I have to log in to play a first person shooter game that never needed a login? Please remove this - I’ve already paid for the game and you’ve taken a long time to update it - Try giving people what they paid for - Sheesh!

Ruined the controls. Why did you release it again with the newer version of iOS and go and change the controls. It was controlled really well for a touchscreen before now it’s difficult to move, aim and shoot at the same time.

Give me keyboard and mouse support!!!!. Super cool that they’ve taken the effort to port this to iOS. But give users the option for the standard keyboard and mouse controls, particularly now that iOS has official support. Pleeeeeeaase

Two questions. Q1) can you please add multiplayer to doom classic, I would really love it if you do that because I'm a big fan of doom multiplayer on the xbox360 so please can you put multiplayer on doom classic. Q2) can you please bring back doom 2 because I love doom and I would really like to play doom 2 on my ipad so please, can you bring back doom 2. If you do both of these I will rate 5 stars instead of 4 star so please can you do both of these.

Doom guy in the pocket. This version of Doom got me into the series. I was born after Doom so this is an easy way to access and play the classic.

Ultra good. Good classic game but just one thing needs? multiplayer please I would love for you guys to put multiplayer

Please Reboot the game for iOS 11. I was really enjoying the nostalgia of Doom I and I feel it’s a shame to let something like this classic go to waste. You guys did a great job of integrating it into the iPad as well, is the effort worth wasting?

Please update for iOS 11!. This app is stuck in the 32-bit realm and won't work under iOS 11. Show us some love and throw us an iOS 11 update please!

Good but needs controller fixed. Pretty neat port for mobile however it’s really frustrating that you can’t strafe with a ps4 controller connected. Hopefully this will be added/fixed in an update.

Don’t know why people are even complaining. I was kinda worried at first cuz everyone was saying that the controls were bad, trust me they’re pretty ok. I mean sure it would be easier with a mouse and keyboard but for a touchpad it’s pretty well done

Final Doom. Hi, I’ve really enjoyed replaying doom and doom 2 as I grew up playing these as a kid. Now that I have completed these two games again was wondering if you guys would add final doom to the series and possibly doom 64. That would be great to play those on the iPad too.

Pretty good, but controls are wierd.. Desperately needs seperate buttons for aiming and shooting. When actually shooting, pressing down on the right side of the screen does nothing, and actually releasing your finger is what shoots. Instead, there should be a dedicated shoot button, which touching should start firing, instead of controlling camera and action at the same time.

Less Badass. if they add custom control schemes this will be on the same level it was 5 years ago. until then the default controls make it nearly unplayable.

Great, but small glitch. The game is great and I’m glad I can easily access doom on a mobile device. However, while playing the level E2M6 I experienced a glitch where a Lost Soul enemy knocked me through a wall, and now my screen appears to be showing all different parts of the level at once, and when there is clearly an open space in front of me, the game renders it as a wall. I can’t hit enemy]it’s, and they can’t hit me. I tried -laying a different level, but the glitch was still there. Any idea on what is going on?

Change the controls the old one was better. Filler filler filler

Controls. THIS GAME IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL BUT…. The controls are WAAAAYYY too small, I tried playing and I couldn’t barely kill one enemy because the aim is so broken and it’s so hard to move around and I end up dying over and over and just running out of ammunition… also the joystick is way too small… pls fix Bethesda

Smh. It’s great you finally brought back doom for iOS and all, but why did you have to change the controls. They were perfect the way they were.

Controls. Wow thanks for the updates... but you guys still don’t seem to be listening to your players.... the controls are unuasable! You can’t play the game without decent controls, you update everything else except the controls. Workable controls have been done before it can work, please focus on updating the controls or there’s no reason to even have these apps.

iOS 12. I only use iOS 12 cuz I have a iPod 6th gen and Idk what to do 😭

Can’t even create account or log. When I update the doom app I was so happy to be able to play doom on my phone again , but then I open the app and I have to create an account but when click the button it mark error 14034, I paid for this app when it first came out and now even if it’s compatible with my iPhone 6 I cannot play it !

Good port, terrible controls.. Whoever at Bethesda thought having to double tap to keep your gun firing is an idiot. Even worse you have to wait a whole half second or the game doesn’t recognize the double tap. Great port, everything well done but shooting controls are terrible (which is, you know, kind of important in a shooter). Add in the option to just HOLD TO FIRE without double tapping and this gets an instant 4 stars, 5 stars if you ditch the the Bethesda.net login.

Not playable. Although there are ‘new’ controls, it’s fiddly and difficult to use. I think the developers need to make the controls uber-easy on the touch screen, which are quite difficult with the current iteration.

Fix the strafe for controllers. Strafe works with touch pad controls, but doesn’t work with any controller support. Fix this Bethesda, support your products for once you money grabbers, your getting as bad as EA. The message boards are flooded with this problem, with many people having reached out to the company. They do not care about their customers at all.

Please change controls. The controls are terrible

DOOM. The game is GREAT, but controls are awful. Unfortunately I can’t play 😔.

Horrible controls!. Please get new developers and fix these unusable controls! Both built-in touch and external joystick are horrendous! Game is pretty much unplayable unless you like to suffer...

New update. This update sucks please change it back

No strafe anymore with the controller on Doom & Doom II. The port is great except for the bug that was introduced in latest update with the missing strafe with a controller making it impossible to play :( please fix it ! Great work otherwise !

Pas latéral. Le pas latéral avec manette x-box ou dual shock ne fonctionne pas

Unplayable due to horrible controls. The game is damned near impossible to control. The old version was much easier to control, and had things like “auto-use” to make mobile simpler. That’s gone in this update. Also gone is the ability to customize the controls in any way whatsoever. The new control scheme will have you skating all over the place, and steering and shooting use the same input, so half the time you want to turn, you shoot, and half the time you want to shoot, you turn. John Carmack put a huge amount of effort into making the controls work on mobile devices and literally all of that work has been thrown away.

DO NOT BUY. Horrible port of the original Doom. Mainly the controls need a major update. There are many other better places to play this game. This is definitely not one of them. Calculator Doom is better than this lol. If i could rate lower than 1 I would.

Is nice. I had is on my ps4 and ilia on ios I’m happy I do not have to sine in is cool need more control tho but still is awesome

Controls are WAY better now. 5 stars!!. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Needs to be Fixed. I dont want to sign up for any Bethesda Net or whatever it is. Im happy the game is back and i personally think its one of the best games to have on mobile but the sign up should be patched out. Ill gladly give it 5 stars once its been fixed. Otherwise, my review will stay as it is.

Bugthesda. The controls have been fixed Still lacks customization but rapid fire weapons work properly now, you tap and hold to fire full auto. Before it was a nightmare.

PLS FIX CONTROLS. i love playing DOOM on iOS, thanks for bringing it back. but these controls are unusable. the customizable ones you had before were perfect; pls take the time and revert to them. i’ll immediately buy DOOM2 when you do that :) thanks!

Best game on the store. I’m so happy this is back up and we don’t have to pay for the same game. The log in sucks but once I got threw it. It’s still the same masterpiece

Cool game. Fun game. Lots of action

Awful rerelease.. The original iOS Doom was far better. The controls are terrible. The game is bloated. Worse in every way.

Poor controls (Still). Still haven't updated the controls to a playable level. I have the OG download of this game on my old iPad and the original controls and controller options are great compared to this version. Not sure why they purposefully neutered there own game.

Hi doom developers. I can see that the fans are not Liking the Control you should tell him that you can that you can connect your PS4 controller to there Device. And if you can try to make doom three on these devices please try to is the best game ever thank you for making it

How could they get it so wrong?. Completely unplayable with current controls. Coders need too learn that new or different does not mean better. The old controls worked very well, the new ones don't.

Older version was good. I have an old iphone 4 with doom on it. The older version has much better controls. I dont need a giant low res joystick to popup and tell me what my finger is doing. It also offered more control schemes if you desired. The detection seemed much better. I dont play doom on my new phone, but on my old iphone 4 with ios9 i play it all the time. What a downgrade this version is...

Lacks control options. A totally competent port of Doom- runs just fine apart from some technical inaccuracies compared to the original. The biggest problem is the inability to customize the controls in any meaningful way, other than a single sensitivity slider. The control scheme presented is slippery and often imprecise- sometimes even failing to register taps that should fire your gun. Which is, you know, kind of important for Doom.

I paid. I paid for this and dont want to sign into any Bethesda junk, i dont want anything to do with Bethesda those sleazy greaseballs!

It’s DOOM!. Great port of a classic that I played on my dad’s IBM pentium. Control option aren’t great but I don’t care. It’s DOOM in every way looks great, plays great, sounds great! Lots of fun while killing time. Also I bought this like 4yrs ago lol so my review is a little late. But there have been updates and improvements since I originally bought it.

How do I change guns?. Love this classic for many reasons. Paid for both Doom 1 & 2. Only one question...HOW DO I CHANGE GUNS!

Can almost use a controller.... Why does my PS4 controller not allow me to straife? Kind of important to doom!

Excellent!. Thank you for bringing it back! It’s true, the controls take a bit of time to get used to but your fine after a while.. It’s a great game!

Thank you! LOVE these last couple major updates!. Thank you each and all of you DOOM-involved person/s SO much for these last two major updates! I rarely give 5 stars so these 4 stars 🌟 from me is super-high praise. Don’t know if I actually Sent the review I had written here a while but regardless, thx for fixing the constructive critiques I had before! ... and then some! Wow! I love the add-ons. Lots and lots more Doom and elements of DOOM II like the Super-Shotgun, great new music and new enemies. Yay! 😁 Love so much that there’s clearly stereo sound now! Growing up, it was super-epic to me to transition from a mono PC speaker sound to a proper sound card with 2-speaker stereo capability. Being able to tell what direction the baddies are in seriously helps with my gameplay besides just being cool.👍 I haven’t tried the controller features so I can’t review that but the current mobile tap, etc. screen controls seem good to me. Much improved, I think, from the some previous version/s. I played through the original shareware (KDITDead episode only) on just our keyboard so this seems familiar and vastly improved to me.👍 I had played through the the whole game on Ultra-Violence in the version/s from a few years ago on my older, smaller phone. Now I’m revisiting it and playing the new stuff and enjoying it so much! 🙂 🤔The only minor request/s or suggestion/s for even more improvement is: To the Cheats: please restore or add the computer map cheat where you could see more things in degrees, up to even the location of all enemies! I used only this one cheat when playing before and I miss it. This was before ANY Cheat menu and I had to use the command line brought up by a (I believe) multi-finger tap. *If this still exists, please disregard this. I just don’t know how to access it, yet. Again, super-duper job, dev/s and whomever! I really appreciate the value you’ve added to one of my favorite mobile apps/games! 🌟🌟🌟🌟😁

Needs Bluetooth keyboard support. I love doom, but the controls are brutal on this port. Please add Bluetooth keyboard support so we can get a proper retro experience.

Controller doesn’t work. I was excited to play this but the tap controls are petty bad and the controller strafe doesn’t work. Unplayable until this is fixed

I HATE THE NEW CONTROLS. I don’t want to have to look at where I’m putting my fingers when I’m playing. Why didn’t you just add the new scheme instead of replacing the old one?!?! Jeeeezzz. Please fix and I’ll revise my score.

Just add in the original control options. Like dang

Awful controls. Controls be awful

Bethesda account? Well, thanks for nothing.. The first part was the excitement, seeing I could download and run Doom again on my iPad w/o having to setup a project and compile it in XCode. Only to find that the game is locked behind a Bethesda account dialog. Well, that's not what I really want. I bought Doom to play Doom.

The older port was better. So yeah, Doom got re-released to IPhone. Thing is, the older port, aside from lack of Nightmare, was better in all aspects. Better sound, better controls, no DRM. Like, this isn’t a bad port, but come on Bethesda, you could have just ported that older version on to newer phones, and it would have been better

Mobile Doom worked before Bethesda. I had this app a long time. I used to play it regularly, no problem. For a couple years, it stopped working/being supported once Bethesda took over the franchise. Happy to see an update that brought it back online, but now the controls are terrible, rendering the game unplayable. Even the menus are touchy and glitchy feeling. I was playing the old port on UltraViolence and now I can’t complete the first level on the Bethesda app. Not good. Not an improvement.

Perfect game and good controls. Controls are good. You cannot customise them, but I do not complain. I’ve passes 2 chapters already without any issues on the 3rd difficulty

Mixed feelings. So... it’s DOOM, and that’s awesome. But the controls are atrocious. That’s the biggest, most nasty, downside.

Music is slow. Fix the music. It’s slowed down for some dumb reason.

bad controls use a controller!. turn and fire are the same input? who approved this?! Updating my review - confirmed this works with a PS4 controller. so so much better!

The controls are fine; please get used to them for more than 30 seconds before writing your review. Needs upgrade for 64 bit compatibility.

Great Port and Game! why are people mad?. people complain about controls or the bad remaster or fps limit and i just have to say… why? do you really need 60 fps in DOOM? this isn’t pc or console, this is mobile, that’s for battery saving anyways! the controls are good and same with the remaster, i mean people even speedrun this version soo…. oh and you can use add-one like with the pc, xbox, and playstation port :D

Please Improve Controls. I’d give this game 5 stars if the controls were improved. The controls are crucial in a fast paced shooter. The double tap for autofire is too picky with timing. You have to double tap very slowly. This feels like a bug and slows down the player. The inertia from swiping to aim makes aiming feel too imprecise. Aside from this it’s just classic doom. It would be easier to send the demons back to hell if the controls were fixed. Edit: I came back because I noticed an update. I’m very glad they fixed the autofire timing issue and 3 new megawads for free! If they can add more community wads then this can compete with the PC version. Edit: New controls are button based. The game is much more intuitive to play. Feels great!

PLEASE READ!!!!. Now I'm probably the only one who play this on iOS but, You should consider updating this game. If you update it you should bring back multiplayer, and update the controls. I really love this game and I played its whole series. Please please update it and fix some of the issues this game has. Amazing game though.

Perfect Mobile Game. This game is extremely powerful. Its levels are intuitive as 1993 can get, and the enemies and guns are the same. Its gameplay is addictive and the story keeps me coming back. 4.99 is a small price to pay for an experience as good as this! Highly recommended!

Don't let iOS 11 kill this killer game!. This game is such a classic and done so well on the iOS app it will be a shame if this app doesn't get updated for iOS 11! A number of members of my family play this game several times a month. Please consider updating to make it compatible with iOS 11!

Ahh memories. The game brings me back when video games were the "devils tools" as the ani-video game people would say... Man you really made what they say kinda true anyway great game go buy it now (also id can you do us 2 things please 1. Have the music used in earlyer (<-- cant spell sorry -->) verions 2. Just make a dlc for this game adding doom 2 in all its glory thanks)

Settings don't work. I connect my phone to a Bluetooth speaker all the time to play music so when I play doom, it can be kind of annoying when I hear Desmond constantly dying in the background. But when I go to setting and try to turn music and sound off it never applied the setting change!!!! There is no save or accept option, just "back" and "reset". Can you please fix this???

Great port, thank you id for continuing to maintain this. It's a solid port, I don't mind that the music is a little off (after all the iPhone doesn't have a Gravis UltraSound in it!). The controls are as good as can be expected on a touch screen device, but work surprisingly well. I do wish there was a multiplayer option, however. Looking forward to seeing if Quake and Quake II get ported as well, then I can really relive my teenage years again!

Poor Controls. I was very excited to see that this App was available and have tried to play this on several occasions but I have become frustrated by the lack of controllability for moving throughout the levels. I tried all the options and I could not find anything which suited my liking. The game is fantastic from remembering my playing for hours on a PC. I made to through 6 levels and just couldn't see going further as I couldn't think how to manage navigating through higher levels.

Doom. This ver. of doom is pretty good though is does not hold a candle to the orig. that being said the difficulty levels are toned way down and I also thought the controls were way to sensitive until I played with the controls a bit and found that if u make the on screen controls bigger it makes them less sensitive so u can acutely play the game,though I still think doom guy turns his head way to slow. Definitely a solid attempt at doom for iOS.

Controls are off. This is such a great game and hard to complain! The controls are off from the original iOS port. I don’t know why you changed how to fire. When you try to fire at times you turn right and the auto fire for plasma gun is way off/if not barely possible! Fix this with an update and it will be perfect! Also the previous option of load gear when you enter an episode because you get a full shot gun. Thanks

Update = Fixed Game. Before the latest update, you couldn’t even strafe with a controller. Now, everything works flawlessly, and the quality of the game has been drastically improved. It’s a top-notch port in its current state. Goes to show what state the game should have been in *before* it was released, but regardless, I am thankful for the update. Definitely recommend buying it.

Please tweak the controls. The last time Doom was available for iOS, the controls we're so good that it was my favorite experience playing the game on any platform. The controls for this re-launch are just frustrating. I've tried messing with the sensitivity settings and enabling auto run, but it just doesn't feel right. After looking at it, the problem seems to be the large deadzone on the left control stick. Hopefully the game can be tweaked a bit, it's great to have this classic on iOS.

Could use work for one hand. It’s a work in progress, if anything. I grew up playing the game. My only problem is, i can only use one hand and the controls on this version are hard for me to handle. If the player was able to move the controls around to fit their specific needs, it would be better. I do like having the cheat codes, it makes it so much easier for me

The new controls aren’t for everyone. I liked this game a lot, then due to popular demand the controls got changed. I can see why most people like the new controls better, but I don’t. I would have preferred to have the option to switch between the two control settings and hope that may come in a future update, because it’s taken a lot of the fun out of the game.

Doom 2?. Where's Doom 2 that they promised? I've been waiting to use the double barrel shotgun and it seems that the app has been abandoned, since John Carmack has left. The game is still good, also like others have mentioned, bring back Multiplayer. Also, with iOS 11 coming out in the near future, get ready to say goodbye, as 32bit app support is being removed.

PLEASE fix the controls. As mentioned on numerous times for this and Doom II, the earlier versions of the game had a much better control scheme. This one feels awkward and a lot less natural than the previous version. Touch screen controls are a hit and miss but these controls are a bit step backwards personally. Other than that, It’s Doom, it’s a classic, no breaking news here. Just PLEASE do something about those controls!

Updated doom classic. The original Doom was one of the first games I have ever played. I LOVE the doom series. This is a must buy for any fan of the series. I used to have this game on mobile before they took it off of the store so I could just download it. The controls are a little hard to get used to. Over all I highly recommend Doom classic.

Good, but platforming is impossible.. Excellent port, controls are tricky; big jumps and platforming are almost impossible. My biggest complaint is that you can’t select the fist if you have the chainsaw, so you can’t berserk-punch baddies. It should come-up with a second tap of the chainsaw icon.

iPhone 10s max. Thank you guys for updating the game to the current iOS. I been waiting for a few years for this game to come back and now that it back I’m going to enjoy play the classic doom and I’m happy you guys decided to put part two in iOS.i pay for that and I’m going to buy the ps4 doom when it released 😁

Please update this game.. I love DOOM, and the 2016 reboot/sequel is great, but while I love it, I would also highly appreciate having easy access to the original on my mobile device. When I updated my phone and DOOM Classic no longer worked, I was very disappointed. As far as the app goes, it’s definitely worth a purchase if you still have a version of iOS that supports it. That being said, this app needs an update so it can work on current operating systems.

Fun 4 ENTIRE family!. I was insanely reluctant to purchase this "old game" for anything over a dollar. But, wow. I remember when doom originally came out on my pos computer and I honestly am amazed that years later the fun is entirely retained, if not better. It's smooth duh it's an old game, but the control scheme honestly works well on my iPad also which is great. Easily worth the money if you're looking to kill time and enjoy a game. Age doesn't matter let a baby play and go to hell!!

Amazing Doom. I was hesitant to buy this a while back because I was afraid the controls would be unplayable but when I finally came to buying it I found that the controls are amazing and even gives you different options. The one with the wheel is definitely the one I find the best. This game is just like the original with the exception of a few minor glitches that don't hinder gameplay. I really hope to see doom II in the App Store sometime this year

Controls are beyond awful. Considering how much of this game requires preside ruined running, this does not work for it. It’s very difficult to play while trying to walk/run, change direction and use the USE button that’s place clear in the middle of the screen. Half of the time I end up firing my gun instead. This needs severely improved. Especially if you’re charging $5 for it. The game looks sounds great, but the controls completely ruin the entire thing.

Exactly Like The Original!. Most other console to mobile games are horrible, but this was amazing! It has amazing controls, the extra chapter AND it doesn't dumb down the graphics for mobile! Though I'm very sad you removed multiplayer, but I've gotten over it. And if you made the original DooM play like this on mobile, I'm sure if you make DooM II for mobile, it will be good or even better than this one! <3

So stoked it’s back!. I’m like a kid in a candy store again lol. I kept the original Doom Classic downloaded this whole time and refused to remove it from my phone in case it was ever updated. I heard that the original Doom games were getting rereleased and so I clicked the iOS icon on my homescreen just to see and it installed! Plays as well as ever! I love this game!

Dear Bethesda,. Can we get a map maker? I know! I know! “There’s like, tons of good Map Makers on P.C.” But! There might be some of us that don’t have P.Cs! Also can we get the RPS’ back? They might have been great games! But, no one knows because... well they aren’t on iOS. So can we get the games back? Also! Can we have a Wolfenstein 3D, and SOD ports! I mean just because MachineGames makes the games, doesn’t mean that there can’t be a port of the original! +When is DOOM eternal coming to the switch? Now imagine Austin - From game theory-‘s voice when rereading this... Sincerely, A user

DOOM is Back!. I loved this game when I had first seen gameplay of it. I now have it for X-Box 360, PC, and now IOS! A couple things that would make it better are multiplayer and Moga support. Multiplayer in DOOM is amazing, so it would be nice if it was implemented. The controls are ok, so Moga support would be fantastic. Other than that this is a great game!

Awesome! Except...... The game is really fun and addicting as well as polishing up the original version. But the controls in some parts kill it for me, in the sense that it's too slippery and I wish you could use the touch screen to move your aim/sight around. Or make an option to change the sensitivity or even better you could do both. Now with all those things, the game is epic and awesome and is worth the $5.

Bad Control. Just like everyone else is saying the controls are just bad. Give us the ability to change the size and position of the buttons. Also the visibility of buttons need to be able to be lowered. Another suggestion would be to give us HD textures and maybe some openGL effects. I mean it’s 2022 and it would be nice to see a choice to have better graphics/effects.

Controller Support Please. The game itself runs perfectly smooth which isn't a big surprise given the age of the game. My only request to make this game a five start would be to implement wireless controller support as a control scheme. It starts to take me out of the experience using touch controls which is a little bit of a bummer because I never beat this game once upon a time when I had it on the n64 as a kid.

Not bad for a port.. Honestly, this is one of the best ports in a while. I don’t know why people are complaining about the controls, seems fine to me. The game is just as is remember it, it’s fast paced and bloody. The settings is great, it’s good and what I expect. I would recommend this port for on the go people. This works on airplane mode to. Worth my 5 dollars.

New controls are terrible. Why did you take away the option to customize the controls? The new layout is horrible. The right shoot button is too small and I miss it pretty often. Then I accidentally waste ammo constantly when I bump the left shoot button that I never use and would have removed if I had the option. The old version had completely movable and resizable buttons and now we are stuck with a layout that was clearly designed for someone with smaller hands than I have.

Great port!! Love the game!. There are a lot of negative comments but I mostly see it’s about the controls. Which if you’re playing only touchscreen I’ll admit is a challenge. If you have a control for your phone this is an absolute hit!! If you loved Doom growing up as a kid and you need something fun to take you back once and awhile, you’re going to love this! Just use a game control lol

This game would be amazing if.... This game is smooth and the controls are relatively okay. I find using a controller just peachy except for the face I can’t move side to side..? The left stick appears to be stuck ingame and only goes backwards and forwards, so I am unable to strafe to the left or right. I looked through multiple forums and no one mention the issue, so it might just be me missing some key information. Could I have some answers to this problem? Thanks!

Needs Control Options. The port itself is fine. But the touch controls render it, to me, unplayable. I was perfectly happy with the touch controls on the previous iOS release, as they allowed customization. The biggest drawback of the controls in this port is that fire is not a separate button from the right joystick. This makes for so many missed inputs that simply do not fire that the game is unplayable for me. Fire MUST be a separate button or this port just simply does not work.

Awful controls (original IOS was 100x better). Ok, I don’t mind paying twice for a game I already paid for Apple since it is doom. But, I paid for doom several years ago and now I have to pay again. That’s not right. Next, Doom Is the most important FPS game because it has free will with a brilliant engine. However, you would not know it with the crappy awful controls. This is a disgrace and really seems like a money grab. Moreover, the original IOS controls were awesome and I would play a lot. I can’t tolerate this version. Moreover, the stupid status bar won’t retract so you lose 1/10 of your screen. Next, you can’t hide the controls and it’s so annoying to see the image of a joystick on your screen. I would repay triple if I could have the same Doom released several years ago for IOS. But, this version is junk and not worth your time or paying twice for it.

Almost Perfect. My only complaint is that the menu seems a bit outdated or dysfunctional at times. I want to be able to turn off vibration, and sometimes I want to turn off the music and put on Gojira or Slayer while I play, and it often stops playing my music when I start the game. Other than that, I'm having a blast.

You guys made my day!. When the new iOS version came out & Doom no longer worked I thought it was done for since I purchased it so long ago. I just reinstalled it. Still getting used to the new control scheme but I’m so happy I can have this on my phone again. This beats any & all games on my phone! Again thank you!

120hz DOOM is sooooo good!. Joining the ranks of GTA Liberty City Stories and many others who have (quietly) added support for this feature. It makes the game more immersive. Not quite VR but it has a higher frame rate than VR. This is a whole new game now on ProMotion devices. Especially on the really intense levels where timing is crucial. It's not on by default so go to settings.

Messing up what was outstanding. This review is specifically for the new Bethesda release. While I was initially very happy to see DOOM back on the store, this release is different enough that I cannot recommend it. The previous version had what I consider some of the best controls of an iOS game. The wheel was fantastic. This new version gives no control options, which makes things like firing continuously very difficult, as the double tap almost never registers properly. Hold on until it gets updated, otherwise give it a pass.

A Flaw in the System's Core.. Doom for the IPhone, pad, and pods in context is particularly a good game on pen and paper. However, what could have been a fantastic resurrection of the original shooter is bogged down due to control limitations and the lie that you actually can't play music during gameplay. Overall, everything else is fine and I'd software, I am begging you, I WILL legitimately pay $10 if you bring the original quake to the iOS store. PLEASE!!!

Original iPhone port was FAR superior.. Original Carmack port didn’t have the stupid tiny buttons that are difficult to press BLOCKING your view of the game. What it did was just let you tap the right side of the screen to shoot and tap the left side to open doors. Dead simple. Game devs, please stop making things unnecessarily complicated. Also I don’t think it’s impossible to make this fill the iPhone display instead of running in a small emulator-looking box. Really bad port guys. It’s almost as if it’s intentionally bad. Really weird.

Great Game Bad Port. I was super excited to see Doom for iOS was finally updated. Then I tried to play it, the on screen controls are just bad and there’s no customization available. So I dusted off my horipad ultimate thinking a controller would fix everything, except you can’t strafe with the controller. And while I appreciate keeping the original aspect ratio loosing half my screen real estate on a phone is not great for gaming. The game itself is perfect, it’s a classic that is still played nearly 30 years later for a reason.

Decent. Decent port. Controls take time getting used to but you can get proficient at moving around with practice. Game has some glitches. I don't like the gave. It's saving in places that I don't want to save at automatically. Multiple choices on game saves would be nice. I've had to start levels over because I'm saved at a point where I don't have enough health to make it through a level. Overall it's great playing doom again!

Classic game. Pleas update for IOS 11.. I've been playing this game for years, so when I saw that it was out for the iPhone, I instantly purchased it to relive childhood memories. I've had this game on my iPhones for years so I was really disappointed when it would no longer be comparable with IOS 11 unless it were updated. Please IdSoftware, we all love this game, and don't want to lose it. Please update it to be compatible with today's technology.

Cacodemon. Thank you, id Software and Bethesda. Once again you took me back to my childhood. First Wolfenstein 3D and now Doom. It's exactly the same game. Same atmosphere, sound effects, weapons and secret places. Same pleasing gameplay... The control scheme is designed perfectly. Easy to move, strafe and shoot. Auto-use feature is great and save/load is what every FPS game should have. If you add Doom 2 and Final Doom to this inimitable title, it would be awesome; just like Wolfenstein which includes both the Wolfenstein 3D and the Spears of Destiny levels. I was worried about this update, though. The file size is reduced significantly but fortunately nothing is removed. I hope it's time to add Doom 2 and Final Doom. Last but not least, it's the best game I've ever played (whether as a child or an adult) and I still prefer this amazing game to FarCry, Crysis, CoD, etc.

Outstanding Port. It's a great game and a PERFECT port. I wish they'd make DooM 2 and Final DooM for the iOS, and that they'd bring back multiplayer. Even if it's confined to same-network games, something would be better than nothing. To those who say that there's "dead space" on the longer screens of the iPhone 5 and 5s, simply go to the options menu, select controls, and you can drag the buttons to wherever you want them

Great game!! Fix controls.. I had this game for my iPhone 4s, 5s, And SE, with those phones the game controls were awesome, and now a iPhone 6s Plus. Doom would never work on my 6s until the new iOS 13.0 update. Now it works with out crashing, controls use to be pretty great. Now they have changed it, it’s harder to aim, harder to do pretty much anything now. I would have gave this game 5 stars but the controls really ruin the 1st person shooter experience. Please fix this guys!!! I grew up playing this game on some many platforms, if you can fix this control issue that would be excellent.
