Doom II adds the Super Shotgun and new enemy types to classic Doom’s fast combat and maze-like level exploration.
The sequel retains the basic movement and key-hunting structure while expanding the combat roster. The double-barrelled Super Shotgun is powerful at close range, but its reload creates a pause you must plan around. Mixed enemy groups make target priority increasingly important.
The Super Shotgun leaves a gap between shots while it reloads. Fire with space to move away, then close the distance again when it is ready. Backing into a corner turns that reload into time you cannot spend dodging.
Hell on Earth follows Doom with a different campaign. Final Doom and custom level packs have their own maps even when they use familiar weapons.
