DOOM II 17+

The game is amazing, a really impressive port of the original looks and sounds great, Bethesda have done a really good job here. Only issue is the controls are a bit floaty, you can adjust the sensitivity but that’s about it. What this game needs is CONTROLLER SUPPORT. You can play with a controller BUT you can’t move in any direction other than forwards and backwards which in a doom game is a death sentence. So please Bethesda... add the controller support then 5 stars easy 👍🏻

Most of the reviews and info about this game (and Doom 1) are out-of-date, as of Nov 2023, so I had to buy it to find out the current state of play.
The good news is that the game uses the full screen on my iPad Mini 5, and it looks & sounds great. Also good is that the touch control overlay isn’t shown if you are using a controller.
The bad news is that, while my bluetooth game pad is recognised and works partially, there is no way of changing the control mappings and the game assumes a full modern controller with dual sticks and triggers, etc. I‘m using a retro-style mini controller (8BitDo Zero 2), with only a D-pad and fewer buttons, and this means that I cannot turn left or right (only strafe) or even fire!
On the PC version of the Nerve Doom remasters, which is otherwise very similar, I can change the controller mapping to be the way Iwant/need for this game pad , but the Options menu on the iOS version does not include the “Customize Controls” item and so I’m stuck with the fixed defaults.
Reluctantly, I’m going to have to ask for a refund, as I definitely do not want to buy (and carry) a PlayStations or XBox-style controller, or to be forced to use the touch controls. This is a pity as otherwise this version of Doom II seemed to be exactly what I was hoping for.

It’s hard to describe how bad the weapon controls are, visually the game is good which makes it such a shame that the weapon controls are a dumpster fire. The auto fire can only be done by a very precise double click. Click a fraction of a second too fast or too slow and it stops firing/ gun jams. This makes using the chaingun in continuous fire very difficult, it’s fine when you standing still and not being chased/ shot at but when your moving and being chased by imps and floating eyes it’s nearly impossible. This means you either have to keep rapid tapping the fire on the chain-gun which makes turning and shooting at the same time impossible or use the chain gun in single shot mode which is ridiculous. You have to play it to realise just how bad it is. Avoid until it’s fixed. Doom without a working chain gun is a joke.
