DOOM is officially available for purchase starting today. The game is the reboot of the franchise and aims to bring the classic arena shooter experience to next-gen hardware. The game features a large arsenal of weapons, which can be collected and freely switched by players throughout the game. Weapons such as the super shotgun and BFG 9000 are making a return.

Additionally, melee weapons such as the chainsaw, which can cut enemies in half, are also featured. Many enemies from the original games like the Revenant, Mancubus, and Cyberdemon return as well, of which some are redesigned. The combat system of the game puts emphasis on momentum and speed, the game allows players to perform movements like a double-jump. The combat system is dubbed "push forward combat" by its developers, which discourages players from taking cover behind obstacles or resting to regain health.

Back in April the game received negative reviews when an open beta for the multiplayer component of the game launched. Fans of the franchise claim the multiplayer portion of the game does no justice to the DOOM franchise, referencing the many Call of Duty-style gameplay elements as their biggest gripe.

The game has been in development since May 2008 and is now available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
