Which Doom are they inspired by? The good one or the complexity for complexity's sake one?

After playing the demo, I think it is much more like 2016 than Eternal. I'd say its like Doom+Ghost Runner. Melee kills will give a bit of health back, while the Core grenade you can rip out of mobs will drop ammo when used to kill stuff. The Core can also consumed to get a mega punch that will break armored mobs.

Very active combat like 2016 Doom, with the fast parkour elements in Ghost Runner. You can pick up currency while going through a mission and spend it at a vending machine in the mission to upgrade the guns, which require kills to unlock the upgrades to purchase. There is also a skill tree, which looks like it will be pretty fun to fill out.

Game was 17g on Steam, and ran super smooth with settings at High / DLSS Quality with a 5070ti. Environments are nice, but is all linear missions, start at Point A and get to Point B with some enemies along the way, plus arena wave-based encounters to move on to the next mission (in the demo at least). I expected the game to feel a bit cheap, but the demo is pretty solid. Was fun.

Game is out now on Steam / PS5, $35. Great price for it, imo.

Not sure if its a rogue-like at all. Been watching Lirik on his playthrough, and it certainly has Doom aggressive oriented combat, but its totally linear where you can upgrade the weapons / systems as you go through. Death just has you restart at the nearest checkpoint. Not sure what there is after finishing the Story though. Great soundtrack though!
