I’ve gotten hooked on Mighty Doom, a free mobile game that isn’t the original Doom and doesn’t even need to be

Go ahead, I am neither an intensive gamer nor do I easily adapt to something other than the comfort of the big screen of my TV and my Xbox controller, but this genre free game shooter roguelite has conquered me because it has what I need: extremely simple dynamics, games as long as your skill allows, a certain evolution of your character and the best for your server, the memory of legendary games like Wolf 3D and obviously, Doom. Saving the distances with respect to the previous titles, Mighty Doom has managed to take advantage of any dead time to play and keep moving forward.

It is in the top of free games in the App Store in free games, the same position as in the Google Play Store and it is not for less: Bethesda has launched a game that promises to stay a long time in the top positions of the lists and among the recommended. And it is that it is difficult to find a level proposal from a recognized study, beyond exceptions such as Pokémon Go, Call of Duty Mobile or the decaffeinated Fifa Mobile. What exactly is Mighty Doom? An Archero but Doom.

What I like most about Mighty Doom

As a good Doom fan, I’m enjoying coming across the most famous beings in the game like the cybermancubus, the cacodemons or the infernal hunter. Likewise, I have not had to read eternal tutorials or introductions, since I am facing a solid and consolidated core that works.

I am a treehandscome on, what the run and shoot is good for me, so in console I usually resort to the simplest modes. If we add to the recipe that you are controlling through a screen and not sitting peacefully on the sofa, if not perhaps standing on the subway, double somersault with corkscrew: it’s not a problem because you only have to worry about moving by touching the thumb on its smooth touch control, shooting enemies takes care of itself.

You only you move, the shot is automatic: yes, that controlling it is easy does not imply that surviving is easy. Because in fact the key is knowing how to position yourself and dodge. After you have dealt with and killed the beings in your dungeon, every so often you will encounter a boss phase.

Mighty

Being clumsy has its B-side, and that is I die relatively easily, but it is not a drama for me No problem, since he’s a rogelite: it’s true that the upgrades you select are lost on death, but there is permanent progression. As long as the energy allows, I get back up and continue playing, gradually improving the level of the Minislayer, armor or weapons. In short, more resources and abilities that help me keep advancing in the game so it doesn’t get frustrating.

In fact, completing daily quests and spending a little time playing is enough to progress without investing a pennyalthough to opt for the most striking Doomguy (each one has its special ability and progression, at the moment there are four and only one is free) you have to go through the box.

This point is important because in the intro It explained that it is a free game but obviously it is not a project that lives off the air: there is a store to buy coins, gems, keys for boxes, special packs and there are ads, but they are not particularly invasive or annoying, which is appreciated for those who she just wants to hang out and she doesn’t need to be the best. And in my case, I go through the hoop of watch an ad to resurrect once per round and to unlock some boxes.

What I don’t like so much

Unlike the classic Doom or other first person shooters, the perspective of the game is zenithala design that although it seeks to move us more within a simplified scenario, has an unpleasant consequence: those enemies that appear in the lower area of ​​the screen are likely to go unnoticed because you have your finger right there.

Mighty Doom has a power system that limits the gaming experience, which penalizes consecutive games, but if you take advantage of it for short sessions casually, it won’t take its toll on you.
