The following list of ours contains some great games like Doom, in which you will get to destroy enemies of all shapes and sizes. Especially if you are one of those gamers who simply loves the thrills and chills you get when you are up against an army of all sorts of villainous bad guys, then the titles mentioned below would be very appealing to you.
1. Duke Nukem Forever:
The first one on this collection of games similar to Doom is Duke Nukem Forever. Your favorite alien-slaying tough-guy returns in this revamped version of Duke Nukem to once again save the world and its women from an alien onslaught. Since the enemies that you will be up against out here are mostly aliens and grotesque Pigcops you will be need to have a lot of serious firepower in order to destroy them.
Luckily for you, the designers of this pick have given you just the right tools you would need for the job. Your character can carry up to four separate lethal weapons at a time, the likes of which include shotguns, railguns, laserguns, freeze rays, etc. Besides this you can also equip pipe-bombs to wreak some more explosive damage. Plus if all else fails, you can even use Duke’s plain bare fists to knock your enemies senseless.
2. Hard Reset:
The second game which we can recommend is this Flying Wild Hog creation titled Hard Reset. In this pick you will be engaged in an all-out war with genocidal machines whose main directive is to wipe out humans completely. The robotic enemies that you face out here are pretty intimidating and need a combination of accurate shots and powerful ammo to take down.
The weapons that you will be provided in this game are few, but they can be completely modified and upgraded with various additions that increase their potency. And if you are smart you can even use certain elements of the environment such as cars, vending machines and fuel barrels to add to the damage caused to your foes. But your shooting skills will be put to the ultimate test when you enter into the spectacular boss fights against huge mechanical giants sent by the machines.
3. Painkiller: Hell and Damnation
Still yearning to play some Doom alternatives in which you can battle against huge swarms of demons and hellish creatures? Well, then The Farm 51 game subtitled Painkiller: Hell and Damnation should suffice. Here you play as a character who is so desperate to see his dead wife that he will fight all the minions of hell and purgatory for her.
And this is exactly what you will be doing in Painkiller. You will travel to many eerie locations throughout your missions, hunting down demonic creatures and capturing their souls. There is a host of awesome weapons that you can use in this pick as well. You can wield these to strike down your enemies such as the stakethrower and soulcatcher, to name a few. These guns have been uniquely designed to brutally massacre all kinds of demons and other beasts which can’t be killed by conventional weaponry.
4. Serious Sam 3 BFE:
Here is another awesome first person shooter that we would highly recommend to all you fans of intense bloody action. If you have already checked out the previous versions of Serious Sam, you will be thrilled about the release of this heart pounding edition. Your gameplay will literally throw you into the midst of an army of vicious monsters with razor sharp teeth and tentacles.
Some of the beasts that you encounter here will feel as if they popped right out of a freaky horror movie. And you don’t have the luxury of facing them one at a time as you will always be fighting large groups. Fortunately for you, the character you play as is a boss who just has to whip out his flaming cannonball thrower and blow them to bits. With all the deadly weapons that you can use here, fighting off the relentless horde of monsters will be a challenge you can win eventually.
5. Wolfenstein (2009):
The next option in our list of games similar to Doom is Wolfenstein. You will find yourself facing a whole army of Nazi soldiers throughout the game. At first, you will be shooting up the Nazi scum with a standard rifle, but as you progress in the game, you will be able to gain access to a lot of crazier weapons like the Tesla Cannons and rocket launchers that cause a lot of destructive mayhem.
The other guns and rifles that you carry are upgradable and this makes them more effective. There is also a sci-fi element in this pick especially when you discover your ability to use the Veil powers from a secret ‘Black Sun’ dimension. These powers can aid you in spotting enemies more easily and even help you walk through walls, which is really helpful at times.
6. Shadow Warrior (2013):
This 2013 edition of Shadow Warrior is the last one in our roster. It is another Flying Wild Hog development, though you will be playing as a modern-day Japanese ninja assassin here whose main job includes killing huge groups of dark demons that you will encounter throughout the gaming environment.
But the best part about this game is the collection of amazing weapons and magical abilities that are available at your disposal. You can choose to be a gun-slinger and wield duel machine guns or fight complete ninja style by using the katana and dismember your foes in a series of stunning moves. This pick will also allow you to upgrade your weapons by using the money that you find hidden in secret places of every level out here.
Conclusion:
These six games like Doom have many overwhelming scenarios where you might feel that you are in way over your head. But this is the very aspect that makes these games challenging and as you keep getting wrapped up in the gameplay you will be actually mentally preparing yourself to face your next set of attackers.
