This new Doom II expansion set was developed for the release of Doom II on the XBLA & Doom Classic Complete for PlayStation Network. It was also included in Doom 3 BFG as a part of the additional bonus release of Doom II on it. The plot continues on Earth after Hell's forces have [seemingly] been vanquished. The goal of the expansion is to travel to a pocket dimension of Hell and assassinate a Cyberdemon that has been building an army of demons for his own personal use. It takes advantage of the expanded capacity of modern systems, with significantly more enemies on-screen at the same time than in the original Doom 2, especially in the later levels. The episode consists of nine levels in all, eight standard levels and a single secret level, as a homage to the similarly structured nine-map episodes in the original Doom, particularly Knee-Deep in the Dead. The new maps are a separate selectable campaign at the inception of the game, in a fashion similar to Doom's episode selection. Completing it in singleplayer on any difficulty unlocks the "And Back Again" Achievement, and unlocks the "Doom II Marine Suit" Avatar award. It was later included in 2020 as an official add-on for the Doom Classic - Unity port. |
