Hell on Earth. Thirty-two levels, new demons and the Super Shotgun. Bigger, meaner, and just as fast.

About

Doom II (1994) picks up right where Doom ended: you made it home, and Hell came with you. Earth is overrun, and one marine fights through cities, bases and Hell itself in a single run of 32 levels.

It added the double-barrelled Super Shotgun and a new cast of nightmares, including the Arch-vile, the Revenant and the Mancubus. Its levels became the canvas for decades of fan-made megawads.
