Graphics and Visuals

Because the game was made by using RPG Maker 2000, there is nothing special in it`s visuals. Even although the game resembles SNES visually, players can see pixels on the screen, since there is no support for 3d accelerators. However screen size can be turned into window mode by pressing F4, and F5-the screen will become less than windowed (still, it`s playable). Also, some of the textures, objects and characters were drawn to look similar to the original Doom.

Gameplay

As a RPG, the game has it`s own unique features, probably never seen in any RPG`s like this before. These features are:

• 1. Money. Money in this game is converted from experience points, which players have received in the battles;

• 2. The battles are in FPS view - that means if players are attacking a monster (or otherwise), the view is switched to the character`s eyes, and the monster is seen from the player`s helmet, which closely resembles Doomguy`s. Also, if the monster was hit, it`s blood will splatter on the player`s helmet and slowly goes down...

• 3. In the battle, you can also strafe from the monster`s attacks. After the player`s turn, two arrows can be seen in the HUD. That means you can push Left or Right button to strafe from enemy attack.

• 4. You must add additional time to the time, which is counting down in the game (a time left until player`s death). To do that, you must pay for additional time.

Reception

Since the game was released, it was well accepted not only by Russian Doom Community, but also by players, who never played Doom, although there are some flaws:

• 1. From the start of the game you can`t save (for a while)

• 2. Difficult battle system

• 3. If the player can get used to this game, he can complete it very fast.

So overall, in Russia the game was accepted quite well.

Sequel

A sequel to EtD is currently in development. A short demo can be found on the Internet, although as of now, only in Russian language.

Also, an expansion-pack to the game, named "Enter the Doom: Back to Doom-Grad", is also currently in development.
