Age of DOOM is an independent mod that introduces the story and characters from Doom in the Age of Empire 2 engine. The result is a real-time strategy game with an isometric perspective, in which you and your mouse control the legendary Doomguy and must face hordes from hell. The process to install Age of DOOM is quite simple. All you have to do is decompress the compressed file in any folder and follow the instructions in the PDF manual. These instructions are so simple that, in less than a minute, you will be playing the original version of Age of Empires 2, though you must follow them very carefully. Age of DOOM has a tutorial where you can learn all the game's exclusive mechanics, as well as an extensive campaign that combines the Doom and Doom 3 storylines. The tutorial might seem too easy or even repetitious for old Age of Empires 2 players, but it's worth taking a look at since it introduces some of this mod's unique mechanics, such as the ability to use switches or to sprint. The main campaign in Age of DOOM is pretty long, with four episodes that each last over an hour. In each episode, you will have to go up against some of the most well-known monsters in Doom that have been perfectly recreated in the Age of Empires 2 engine. You will have to wipe out incessant hordes of Imps, Pinkys, Zombie men and Cacodemons, among many others. You can even face off some of the most legendary bosses of the saga. Age of DOOM is a fast-paced strategy game that offers you an enjoyable and very fun experience somewhere halfway between Doom and Age of Empires. This is another success of the modder community that is sure to delight fans of both franchises.
