DOOM: The Boardgame

Posted by michael on from the deploy-chainsaw dept.

Ant writes "And I thought I had seen it all from DOOM world. Nope, there is a boardgame! It is for 2 to 4 players, playable in 1 to 2 hours, based on the groundbreaking DOOM 3 computer game by id Software. Seen on Blue's News." There's also Frag, which IMHO isn't a very good boardgame. The Doom game looks like it might work, though.

    Is there something I am not getting here?

    Most board games have some sort of Role-Playing element to them, not just "You walk into a room with 3 Cyberdemons. You died." Doom is a GREAT video game as most hack and slash games like it. How does gameplay flow?

    Are there character goals? Can you build up your marine to rule the underworld?

    Then again, perhaps I just don't get it...
