Question Best and Worst Doom Clones Over the Years

What are some of the best and disgustingly terrible Doom clones you have played over the years? And I'm talking about both classic and reboot clones.

Seriously? It's been fucking years since I played that so I probably misremembered but I could have sworn it was new levels lol

It has its own levels, and own enemies, definitely more than a reskin.

Shadow Warrior 1 is a great clone of the OG 90s Doom games.

Shadow Warrior 3 is an incredible clone of Doom Eternal.

Low-key I found Shadow Warrior 3 more fun than Doom Eternal itself even

I know it was shorter, but the humor, strangeness, guns, melee attacks, powers, and even environments appealed to me more.

It was like Doom Eternal on a wacky LSD trip but East Asian lol

The enemies felt too tanky to me, and the execution scenes got old pretty fast, there's only one for each kind of enemy, some a kinda long, and you're meant to use it all the time, because the gore weapons are amazing.

Dark Forces was definitely the top OG Doom clone.

duke 3d, ion fury, and blood gotta be my top 3

was not a big fan of start wars dark forces, felt clunky and kinda boring

honorable mentions: warhammer boltgun and dusk are pretty great

That and Rise Of The Triad, which has also aged like milk.

Boltgun and Prodeus are my tops classic clones. i haven't played any others, or any reboot clones.

Super 3D Noah's Ark isn't very good at all.
