Id announces Doom II RPG News

News by Tom Bramwell

1 August, 2008

Id's next mobile game is Doom II RPG, the developer announced at QuakeCon tonight.

After showing off Wolfenstein RPG ("We've put the action-packed fun of kicking Nazi butt onto cell-phone") for mobile phone for a few minutes, Id Mobile's Katherine Anna Kang announced the game.

Nothing was shown apart from a grinning Doomguy.

The first Doom RPG was fairly decent.

Some funny dialogue in there but in the end the combat was essentially just a turn based shooter. Didn't work too well. I'm hoping this one has a bit more in there to justify it being turn based, more tactical elements to it.

"Nearly" is the important bit. Doom RPG was good.

Doom RPG was the first mobile game I was actually excited about before release, and I really enjoyed it. Not that guns getting more powerful as you level up makes sense, but going back to early levels with a pistol that could kill anything in a single hit is fun.

That is because most mobile games are chucked out of the door for barely any dev money, safe in the knowledge they are cheap enough to sell to people on a whim. iD don't do that sort of thing, so I expect better.
