Our take on DooM in the Dark 2

Rather than presenting space exploration as discovery or simulation, the game turns an infected station into a horror combat setting. Time dilation adds a combat-focused variation to its otherwise direct battles against mutants.

What is DooM in the Dark 2?

A sci-fi action game set aboard space stations affected by an evolving virus.

The player controls Nikolai, a propagandist and commander of the Alpha squad, as he fights infected crew members and mutants before they reach Earth. Combat takes place in dark, frightening corridors and includes more than 10 weapon types, bosses, and a large number of enemies. The game uses time dilation during its action and emphasizes dynamic encounters. Its presentation includes science-fiction station environments, lighting intended to create a horror atmosphere, visual effects, shaders, sound effects, and a soundtrack. DooM in the Dark 2 continues the story of the first game, following an infection that began after an organism was recovered from an asteroid.
