Esse jogo só não é um fps nota 10, porque a história não é algo tão incrível, já que você tem que pegar coletáveis no mapa que te contaram os acontecimentos antes do jogo, mas não é um ponto tão ruim, só algo que pode atrapalhar alguém que pegue o jogo achando que vai ser uma super narrativa, não tem uma história espetacular, mas é aceitável. Talvez tive problemas com FPS em algum momento do jogo, mas não foi algo que estraga a experiência ou nada do tipo. Recomendo pra um público que não se importa com gore, já que tem muito desmantelamento, e cenas viscerais, e pra quem gosta de um bom jogo FPS.… Expand

    This game is incredibly impressive to play on the Switch. Panic Button did well with this port. Despite the quality and the fps downgraded, it still retained what made this game fun to play. I wish Panic Button would port more of Bethesda's bigger titles.

    The port is seriously impressive, and the game is good too. It's an adrenaline rush that revitalizes the Doom franchise in a modern fashion, while having some great nods to the originals.

    The first of a great list of impossible ports. It's the Doom 2016 experience to go. Feels great to play it whenever and wherever you want, it runs at satisfying 30 fps and looks also good with the appropiate sacrifices in textures

Hard to believe its on a Hybrid system looking as good as it does (a tiny bit of blur in some spots). Panic Button nailed it. Great job guys

    The dead zone is set so high on the joysticks that I feel like I'm playing with an old overused N64 controller.
    I need to push the Pro Controller joystick something like 50% out before the character even starts moving.

    i liked the game enough on PlayStation to buy it on the switch, off the bat, I knew the graphics were gonna be worse, , but it looks pretty good, but that's not why this should play this port, you need to play it for the motion aiming, it's way too much fun, that I completed this port instead of the ps4 version, if you don't have this game get it, if you do have it, play with motion aiming

The port is as good as one can realistically expect of a game that was so demanding on PC and the base PS4 and XboxOne, with PanicButton having pulled out all sorts of rabbits from all sorts of places to present a very faithful version of the original. The most noticeable difference for those who have already played the original is that the framerate is slashed form 60 to 30 fps, obviously this means you won't get the same silky smooth gameplay you would on the other platforms, but the good news is that the 30fps on Switch are pretty damn consistent and the gameplay is still as fun as ever with only a few very specific spots in the game causing some very noticeable frame drops and slowdowns. Outside of the fps drop, many of the textures have been downgraded and the resolution has been lowered, though on handheld the corner-cutting in these areas is a lot less noticeable and the overall effect is a version of Doom that does a fantastic job of looking and playing very close to the og versions. With fantastic level and enemy encounter design, great pacing with some exploration and item collection thrown in to pepper the phenomenal core combat, one of the best most original soundtracks in a long time, portability, and 100s of hours of gameplay for those wanting to chase high scores and replay on the highest difficulty settings, this game is an absolute classic. Add in the fact the physical version is somewhat rare with fantastic cover art different from the other versions, and on top of a fantastic game you are probably talking about a future valuable collection piece, so if you have the chance to buy it physical definitely go for it, though regardless of how you buy this game, the one certainty is that if you own a Switch and have any interest in action games or shooters, this game is a must buy.… Expand

    The game play is fast paced most of the time. Battles are engaging and challenging. The music is excellent and is there when it should be and isn't there when it shouldn't be. Weapon progression feels right.

    Well it's Doom right? What is there more to say? Oh, it's Doom for the Nintendo Switch! That's absolutely great! Usually I don't play fps on consoles but I just tried it because I have so many memories from the 90s - and I loved every single minute of game time! Absolutely worth it.

    Doom was a game that I was only expecting a minimum amount of fun playing, but ended up getting a huge thrill out of the simple but addictive gameplay of running in circles and shooting monsters. With the Campaign lasting about 15 hours for me, it was a nice break from long drawn out games with fluff in between the main plotting missions.

    Doom is a fun, fast-paced, action-packed first-person shooter where you blast and tear demons faces off. It has a great campaign where you explore Mars and hell.

    DOOM for Nintendo Switch is an amazing port! This is DOOM on the go! Though it runs at 30 fps its not a big difference as some may say. Because of the success of DOOM we are getting DOOM Eternal and I can not wait for that to make its way to the Switch by the same people who ported the original DOOM to switch!

    Doom is so close to being perfect on Switch. The latest patches have really helped the frame-rate hit a smooth 30fps. Of course, it does not look as good as on PC, PS4 or XBOX, but that really does not matter, because it still looks good. My only real gripe is that it is still very expensive, reaching about £40 new whereas other platforms can get it for

    It's impressive that Bethesda got Doom running on the switch as well as it does. If you purchased this expecting a PS4 or PC quality graphics on the Switch, why did you buy a Switch? 8/10 because it runs, looks as good as any Switch game is going to look and satisfies my need to murder demons with an chainsaw while waiting in an airport terminal.

Gameplay is immersive and really intense as you will never find yourself standing and just shooting; you will always feel under pressure, which is a main factor of the game's magic.

    This game doesn't compare to Halo 2 or Far Cry 5. I generally prefer horror stealth games. This game was a bit of disappointment to me. I have only put in about 5 hours over a year. If you like this genre of game you should probably buy it on Switch as there isn't much competition. If this genre isn't one for you, then this game might not have enough edge to keep you gripped to completion.

    DOOM Switch is one of the best First Person Shooters I've played in years. The market has become over saturated with these boring, generic and overall samey games.

The market has become over saturated with these boring, generic and overall samey games. Whether it's Call Of Duty going too far into the future, Halo stooping to a level never seen before or even ones who try to come back like Duke Nukem: Forever absolutely bombed. Then came along DOOM (2016) who single handed-ly one-up-ed the entire FPS market in one very gruesome Glory Kill.

    The first thing to mention about DOOM is that the main reason why it's such a breath of fresh air, the controls and progression. It's simple really, you shoot, you move, you jump, and you switch weapons. Sometimes Grenades and Mods are thrown into the mix, but overall it isn't very complex. No, where DOOM really shines is the progression. DOOM has a very similar progression to Metroidvanias, in the fact that it's semi-open world. Nothing is prohibited from the start, however in order to do better in combat you will need to find upgrades for your weapons' Mod/s. This way, it opens the gates to different types of players. If you want to be an unstoppable badass then better get searching. If you want to challenge yourself then choose to limit the abilities of your Mods, and see how much pain you can take.

    Another thing the game excels at is the introduction, which may be one of the best introductions to a video game ever. It does everything a intro/first level needs to do. Introduces most of the mechanics to the player in a simple but effective manner, but if you've already played the game you can just speed through it like it's nothing. It gives enough plot so that those you just want action knows what their doing, but pulls those who want to know more in, and they can read the lore entries and get accustomed to the World(s) and their inhabitants. Not to mention, it has one of the most badass scenes ever, with the Doom Guy/Doom Slayer destroying an elevator control panel and having the main theme kick in. It's just pure, unadulterated manliness.

    However, this game is not without its flaws. For starters, the grenades are kinda weak. The energy siphon gives back little health, the hologram on takes away some aggro from the demons, and the Frag is almost useless. There's also a very weird difficulty spike at the penultimate level, that doesn't make any sense. And while movement was fast, it wasn't good for the platforming sections. The amount of demons in the game doesn't bother me, as I prefer a game to have fewer enemies, but great enemy placement, rather than a large variety. The sequel to this game, DOOM: Eternal, seems to be fixing all of these problems, but at the time of this review it isn't out yet. One thing the Switch version does suffer from is some rare lag, 30 fps cap and the textures taking a hit worse than a Berserker Kill on a Baron of Hell. Though, this doesn't affect the gameplay too much, and these aren't an issue on the other versions.

    Overall, DOOM (2016) is a fantastic game held back by some stupid decisions and inevitable drawbacks, but if you put those aside, it's amazing. I'm certainly getting the sequel at launch.    … Expand

    Doom is probably my favorite fps game ever made, there's nothing to complain about as it does a fantastic job of not taking itself seriously and just focusing on the gameplay. The switch port looks great still even though its massively downscaled and runs at half the framerate of the other console versions and it still controls well in handheld.

    Once again, say it with me, "do you have Doom from pc or any other console before? Then don't bother because this is both the worst version you can get and the most overpriced one to boot: this game is NOT worth the 60 buck asking price.

Then don't bother because this is both the worst version you can get and the most overpriced one to boot: this game is NOT worth the 60 buck asking price.

    But if you never got doom before...well that's much difficult to answer: the game itself is objectively the worst version of all console ports but it's still quite amazing on how they managed to make it run without too many issues. Yes it's downgraded but for good reasons and It's really hard to judge it: they managed to make a massive game like doom work on a switch and that's really commendable.

    I mean sure it's a console port of a pc game and you'll have the usual issues with the sticks but that's expected from a console versions: you can't expect the smoothness of a pc and you can't even plug an usb keyboard and mouse to make it work properly (or else it wouldn't be nintendo).

    Too bad they still **** up in two ways: the game STILL requires a download (about 8gb) for multiplayer and other content features that will snatch away your already poor memory of the switch because nintendo didn't think of adding an internal SD or memory to help with data, that would be too freaking logical. Screw the ps4 or xbone with their 1tb of storage: 25gb is all you need and if you want more spend hundreds of bucks for a measly 128gb memory update. TOTALLY BETTER!

    But what kills it is the price point...I'm sorry but 60 euros for a nearly 2-year-old game, a game you can literally find anywhere for cheap, a game I spent 7 bucks on steam to buy and literally has everything you can ask (including the snapmap, which is missing on the switch), and they DARE to ask us full price again? Of course I can't recommend it: if this came out together with other versions I would say otherwise but I simply CANNOT recommend a fully price port of an old game.

    And no, the portability is not a reason enough to be worth the price because if I have to be a mean bastard I can reply with "buy a portable computer and get doom on it: even on low setting it will look much better than the switch version. And you can even hook a keyboard and mouse!"

    So, to put it simply, the game is a real marvel in terms of technicalities and I simply couldn't ignore that, but it's the price point that makes it hard to recommend, especially when you can simply get it anywhere - ANY-FREAKING-WHERE - for cheaper.

    Oh sure if you buy this version you'll finally be able to play it while you're on the toilet woohoo, good waste of money for 3 hours of gameplay (or even less, considering how powerful doom is), but if you're smart and value your money - which I'm sure you do - I HIGHLY recommend it if you find it CHEAP and ONLY if it's CHEAP, as the game is simply not worth 60 bucks, not after 2 years of its initial release.

    Or if you like wasting money and you're starving for new games on your switch, then go ahead: I'm sure those countless sales won't come back at tormenting you...    … Expand

I previously reviewed the game on the PlayStation 4 and rewarded it a 10 out of 10. Head to my profile if you want to read that review and hear my actual thoughts on the core game itself.*
    I've gone on record on numerous occasions to say that the 2016 "DOOM" remake was not only one of my favorite PlayStation 4 games, but one of my overall favorite video games. Yeah, sure, it was my first experience with the series, but I had an absolute blast with the game. It had all the things a great "DOOM" game should have (at least, based on my little research): incredible visuals, extremely fun, fast-paced and action-packed gameplay, smooth controls, and a ton of badass moments. So, when hearing that this game I loved so much was heading to the Nintendo Switch, I was admittedly a bit intrigued: would a game that huge, that graphically intense, and that fast actually translate well to the Switch, specifically when taking the system as a portable? Well, I'm here to report that, for the most part, it does!
    "DOOM" on the Nintendo Switch retains all of the things that made the original great, and it's honestly a miracle that the game can run on the Switch pretty solidly. Sure, the game is downgraded to 30 FPS, but it's an overall quite smooth 30 FPS (though I recommend turning off the motion blur and the chromatic aberration), and while the resolution was downgraded, the game still looks just fine visually. On top of that, the portable experience is great in and of itself, and the game still feels great regardless of whether or not you're playing it docked or undocked.
    Obviously, however, those downgrades are pretty noticeable: certain effects and models obviously look worse on the Switch version, and while the experience as a whole is quite smooth, there is some occasional frame dipping. Now, for me, it wasn't TOO distracting, and the game still performed fine enough, but some might be a bit turn-off by that. On top of that, I did run into a few noticeable glitches here and there, and again, they weren't game-breaking, but they were slightly distracting.
    "DOOM" on the Switch is a marvel in and of itself: the fact that the game was even able to run without the Switch completely imploding is a miracle on its own, and the fact that the game, downgrades and all, still performs and looks fine on the system (even in handheld mode), is even more impressive to me. Of course, the downgrades are there and they are noticeable, but they luckily don't distract too much from the game as a whole. So, is it worth buying the Switch port if you already own the game elsewhere? Well, if you love "DOOM" but aren't begging to have a portable version of it, then obviously, the other versions should suit you just fine, but if you want to be able to take it on the go with you and play it whenever you please, most definitely. It's honestly just a matter of "knowing thy self" with this one. It's obvious the developers had to cut some corners to get it on the Switch, but they aren't all that bad at the end of the day, so if you're looking for the "DOOM" experience on the go, or you just need a fun, high-adrenaline shooter on your Switch, "DOOM" is definitely a solid option. Sure, it doesn't stack up to it's other console counterparts in performance or visuals, but it's still one hell of a ride on the Nintendo Switch.

    I had the game up on a shelf since I bought it and now, with this patch, I can finally play the game properly. I've been playing it for 2 days straight now. I can't tell you how fun this (simple) shooting/smashing game can be and to have this on a portable device is just perfect.

    Old review:
    First shooter game on Switch without gyro aiming. It think that for 60$ for an old game that you can get for 15$ on other platforms would pay more than enough for a small update to add this feature. This makes me shoot all over the place, waste ammo and levels take twice as much to clear. I have games on the DS that have gyro aiming, wth !? I got used to it using gyro on Steam controllers and all the other shooting games on the switch, it's just annoying for me to know that I could do way better with the gyro. I just can't seem to play the game for more than 20 min without getting angry. Bethesda, update the game and activate the freaking gyro. I play games to have fun, not to get angry. For me it's almost unplayable without the gyro. It might be a 10/10 game, but not on the switch, not without gyro. 30FPS is more than enough and It looks good.    … Expand

    Doom is a great game, but it is not for me. I am a huge fan of the original Doom on the PS1, but not the reboot. The gameplay is great, the graphics are decent on the Switch, and it runs alright. But I have the same problem with this version as I did with the PS4 version, and that's the fact that I spent about 3 hours on a level. The maps are too large to the point where you can't figureDoom is a great game, but it is not for me. I am a huge fan of the original Doom on the PS1, but not the reboot.

    I have Doom on my PS4 and now I have it on Switch it is strange but for me having Doom on Switch is more enjoyable than playing it on PS4 I think it is because of portability option. It is so great to play single player and multiplayer battles! Doom on Switch it is must have game for all fps fans!

    I finished the game on the PC already last year - together with my brother. We had a great time playing the game and drinking beer. Now i bought the game again for the Nintendo Switch and i still love it - wait - to be honest, i love it even more. Reason: I am REALLY enjoying the multi-playing modus, which i didn't play before.

    I already gave up playing shooters because all are like "hide behind a stone and heal". Not with doom cause medipacks, armor and reflexes are needed here.
    And I have really less spare time with 3 children. So, all I want is to play and this version fits all my needs and makes a lot of fun.

    Ich habe das Spiel schon gemeinsam mit meine Bruder am PC gespielt - es hat ne Menge Spaß gemacht, vor allem in Kombination mit Bier. Jetzt, 1 Jahr danach habe ich es mir auf der Switch gekauft. Und nachdem ich erst jetzt den Mulitplayer-Modus spiele macht es mir sogar mehr Spaß als früher. Endlich mal wieder ein Shooter wo man nicht hinter nem Stein geheilt wird, weil man dumm in der Gegend rumsteht. Meine Zeit als 3facher Familienvater ist begrenzt und wenn die Kinder-Horde mal endlich schläft möchte ich etwas Unterhaltung. Und genau darum gebe ich DOOM 10 Punkte.    … Expand

    I love the denial that people are in here. This game is meant to played on a PC, if you want it on the go... use a laptop, just about any will do for the visuals this outputs on the Switch, and you will still have plenty of battery life after an hour of play and a bunch of space on that HD. This version is basically the poor man's... which doesn't make sense either since the Switch isI love the denial that people are in here.

    GREAT. Didn't finish this on PC, but with portability on Switch finally can.
    Port have some issues, such as a little low resolution and blur, but after few hours playing i don't really care.

    I found few glitches and bugs in the game. But despite all that, its a great game. So much fun and blood. Also its crazy on how well games run on switch! Panic button, my respect to you guys! Rime and other ports, ask these guys to port your games to switch!

    This is the game I was expecting back in November. Now I can finally recommend DOOM to friends without having to append a mountain of caveats! [Issue #33 – May/June 2018, p. 74]

    Technically this port is so impressive that sometimes it’s hard to believe it actually exists. It’s the game itself that I have some issues with, as in my opinion its campaign is encumbered by elements that sometimes unnecessarily slow down Doom’s fantastic pace. [01/2018, p.53]

    It’s not a perfect port. For those looking to play DOOM purely on the big screen, the Switch version’s janky visuals make it difficult to recommend. Yet, if you’re looking for a portable version of one of the best shooters in recent memory, DOOM thoroughly deserves to be the blood-soaked outlier lurking in your Switch library.
