Doom RPG

The Doom RPG is a game developed for cellphones set in the Doom universe. The game was developed by Fountainhead Entertainment and is to be published by JAMDAT. The game has not yet been released but is scheduled for release at the same time as the Doom Movie in October 2005.

The game appears to retain many of the elements of Classic Doom, and is a  first-person shooter like the original. However, the game is fundamentally different in that it is a turn-based strategy game. All combat and movement is turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 45 degree angles and moves space by space.

Many features of the original are retained, including the status bar face, sound effects and the majority of the weapons and monsters. Notably absent are the Chainsaw, Arachnotrons and Spider Mastermind. A difference to the original is that each monster is one of three levels of difficulty, and is colored to indicate this.

The game also adds several new features. New weapons include the fire axe and fire extinguisher which are useful in combat against certain enemies. The dogs from Wolfenstein 3D appear as a new enemy, known as Hell hounds. A dog collar allows the hell hounds to be captured and used as a shield.
