p>Id Software's legendary Doom is playable in many different ways including Minecraft crabs and even in an article we wrote. Age of Empires 2 can now be added to the list of games. Modders have created an entire strategy game based upon Doom, including the legendary sound effects from the FPS and sprites.

p>'Age of Doom"Age of Doom" was created by modder "HellKnight61" (thanks, DSOGaming) and is a custom campaign for Age of Empires 2 that revisits the events from the original Doom's story mostly in the style of Doom 3, with the escape from Hell by the demons, orchestrated by Dr. Betruger, though characters from later Doom games like Vega do appear. https://txt.fyi/-/22257/a3a4973e/ </p>

p>ModDB is the mod available at ModDB. https://hackmd.io/@pieknee3/BJ6EMdgZo Version 1.0 was released this week. Even though it's not containing the final episode, the mod still contains four episodes as well as the tutorial. HellKnight61 has added many features to make it more Doom-like that Age of Empires. These include the ability for the Doom marines to flick switches, use Teleporters, and even sprint.

p>The Doom guy has all the classic weapons of Doom, up to the BFG or Doom 3's Soul Cube. All the monsters appear with sound effects that are sourced from the games. It's basically Doom as an isometric strategy shooter with an Age of Empires lens. It's an impressive piece of art.

p>Both the Doom and Age of Empires franchises are still running strong, despite having their debuts in the 1990s. Age of Empires 4 will be out next month. It could even receive another beta. For Doom the previous year's Doom Eternal is still having new features, and there may be "more stories to relate" with the Doom Slayer.
