Responsible for popularity of the FPS genre
Doom was the game responsible for the explosion in popularity of the FPS genre. Doom was so revolutionary and influential that, for a generation, games in the First Person Shooter genre were known merely as "Doom clones".

Low selection of enemies
The gameplay can get stale fast thanks to the low amount of enemies in the game. Shooting the same enemies one after another does not offer that much excitement.

•••
Unique play style
Unlike most first person shooters at the time, this game sees the player in a ship that is flying around, while it is a first person shooter, there is a bit of verticality to the play.

•••
Gameplay gets stale
There is not a large assortment of enemies to be found and the gameplay is basically the same throughout other than the amount of enemies, which can get old.

Easily customized controls
There are a ton of settings for the user controls, which is nice as there are a lot of controls for the game. This way users can adjust to their liking and playstyle.

Adjustable difficulty levels
For those looking for a challenge or something easy to play there are adjustable difficulty levels, meaning any skill level can have fun with the game.

•••
Not much of a story
A heretic that has descended to hell in order to destroy demons is about the gist of it, not much exposition is given, if at all. While it does not detract from the gameplay, there is little reason to play this game for the story.

•••
Choice in character
There are three different classes available in the game (warrior, cleric, and mage), each wit their own unique abilities. This gives more choice to the player over other DOS FPS games, which allows for more replayability and overall choice in gameplay.

•••
Poor level design
The levels seem very uninspired and lead to a lot of backtracking. This can get stale fast.
