The vast majority of Chromebooks sold today or already in the hands of consumers’ work with the Play Store and, in turn, most Android apps and games. Specifically, these are the original DOOM titles - the first from 1993 and the second from 1994. Not too long ago, DOOM and DOOM II both arrived on the Google Play Store for all Android devices. Recently, Google has updated its perks page for Chromebooks yet again, this time offering two free DOOM games to every Chromebook owner. Placing them in a room feels too much like a crutch, and it came from a time when enemy AI had no capability of surprising you with their tactics, but today, we have seen much smarter enemies when given the chance, and that aspect could use an upgrade.For years now, Google has offered a handful of perks to Chromebook owners to both entice new buyers and sweeten the deal of getting some Chrome OS hardware.
The enemies in Doom could use more advanced tactics. Your only chance of survival is to spray a barrage of bullets their direction. Instead of hiding and picking off enemies one by one, Doom sends you into the thickest and worst crowds of demons imaginable. It lets you dive bomb your enemies in a combat style identical to the first two Doom games. Slowly, you will gun your way to the UAC facility, and as you do this, you realize the reason for so many health packs. Like in past Doom games, your survival depends on those health kits because you do not regenerate health outside the combat. Once you kill an enemy, they will drop health packs. Nevertheless, you get those hungry demons back by joyfully beating them with their own appendages. When this game goes downhill, however, you feel lost on an endless parade of searching enclosed rooms filled with demons snapping at your heels. You have to kill every demon on Mars, and it feels a lot like a Doom game but with much better graphics. Doom strikes all the right chords, and at its best, Doom was everything you might expect in the single-player campaign. Most people who play Doom games don't come for the taste. While it sounds tasteless, it fits right in with Doom where you're crushing the demons of Hell. As you approach your incapacitated monster, you can perform some bizarre finishing moves on them. You will face enemies who have a "finish" state. The gore that made Doom a world-renowned title can be found.

Doom II, also known as Doom II: Hell on Earth, is a first-person shooter game by id Software.It was released for MS-DOS computers in 1994 and Macintosh computers in 1995. You can also drop long distances and survive.
The fast-paced action makes a return to the 2016 title, and you can double-jump. You challenge the beasts of hell as a lone gunman who fights against the incoming onslaught of the furious beasts from Hell. Step into the boots of a tried and true musclebound marine.
The latest Doom looks like a 2016 update of the original with the founddational principles.
Therefore, when Doom 3 switched the formula to more seriousness and moodiness, it felt far removed from the first two title's fast and bloody action at every turn. Despite being dark and gory, Doom never classified as horror game. Id Software, the original developers of the 1993 classic Doom, made a throwback to the original title with blasting demons at every corner.
