About Doom 64
You killed the Demons once, they were all dead. Or so you thought... A single Demon Entity escaped detection. Systematically it altered decaying, dead carnage back into grotesque living tissue. The Demons have returned - stronger and more vicious than ever before. You mission is clear, there are no options: kill or be killed!

A moody, tightly controlled Doom built for the N64 rather than ported from the PC original.
Doom 64 is not a port of the PC games. Midway Studios San Diego developed it under id Software's supervision, starting in 1994, on a customized version of the Doom engine with new kinds of level geometry, colored lighting and newly drawn sprites for the weapons and monsters. Deadlines and the limits of the cartridge's storage meant some content, including a few demons, was left out.
GamePro's April 1997 review praised its tight, responsive controls on the analog stick and its music and sound effects, which it put on a par with the visuals. GamePro and another critic also noted that it offered less freedom of exploration than Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. The cartridge came out in North America in April 1997, in Japan in August 1997 and in PAL regions in December 1997, and the game was later released for modern systems in 2020.
What the press said at the time
| Next Generation Issue 29 | May 1997 | 3 out of 5 stars |
“Heck, yeah! Doom 64 rocks like no other! … It may not look as impressive as Turok. but what it lacks in beauty, it more than makes up lor in action.”
“If you're a Doom fan, this version delivers the goods and provides an intense Doom experience like none before.”
“you're already a Doom lover you'll love it to bits. Though not as quick as it might have been, it does still capture that elusive Doom feel perfectly.”
“In the end, Doom 64 is just Doom (although not Id’s Doom) with better graphics. While that may be good enough for some, to us it’s starting to show its age.”
Next Generation rated games from one star ("Bad: crucially flawed in design or application") to five ("Revolutionary"); three stars meant "Good: a solid and competitive example of an established game style."
How the Nintendo 64 version differs
Deadlines and the cartridge's storage limits led Midway to drop planned extra levels and a few demons.
There is no multiplayer mode; Midway said Nintendo did not provide the resources needed to program it.
GamePro found the controls tight and said the analog stick quickly becomes second nature.
