01 / THE GUIDE
Original games and expansions
The bundle includes the DOS versions of DOOM and DOOM II together with five expansions: TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, Master Levels, Sigil, and Legacy of Rust. Together they provide 187 mission maps, covering the classic episodes and new story locations.
Each expansion adds its own setting—TNT on a Jovian moon, The Plutonia Experiment sealing remaining Hell gates, and Legacy of Rust introducing new demons and weapons across 16 maps—while preserving the core first‑person shooter mechanics.
- Start with the base episodes to become familiar with level flow before tackling newer expansions.
- Use quick‑save/load when exploring the larger Master Levels to test different routes.

Multiplayer modes
Online cross‑platform deathmatch and co‑op support up to 16 players is provided, while local split‑screen co‑op and deathmatch accommodate up to four participants on the same device. Both PvP and cooperative play work over LAN or the internet.
A new 26‑map deathmatch pack expands competitive options, and the weapon carousel enables faster weapon switching during fast‑paced matches, complementing the modern controller and mouse/keyboard improvements.
- Test split‑screen co‑op on a single machine for classic couch play.
- Try the 26‑map deathmatch pack to explore fresh competitive layouts.

Community mod support
An in‑game mod browser grants access to hundreds of community‑published mods, including REKKR, Revolution!, Syringe, Double Impact, and Arrival. Mods must be installed separately and require additional storage space.
The KEX engine maintains BOOM source compatibility, allowing legacy mods from the past 25 years to run alongside official content, and DeHacked support lets players adjust enemy behavior.
- Check a mod’s size before installing to ensure sufficient disk space.
- Use DeHacked support to modify difficulty when testing classic mods.

Visual and performance enhancements
Running on the KEX engine, the game offers multithreaded rendering that supports up to 4K resolution, 60 FPS, and native 16:9 display up to 1080p. Visuals are upgraded while the original in‑game music is retained.
Improved mouse, keyboard, and full controller support, plus a weapon carousel for faster weapon switching, modernise the classic control scheme without altering core gameplay.
- Set resolution to match your monitor for the smoothest frame rate.
- Enable high‑contrast mode if the original palette is hard to read.

Accessibility and localisation
The release adds a modern font, high‑contrast mode, text‑to‑speech, and speech‑to‑text multiplayer chat, improving legibility and communication for diverse players. These options are toggled in the settings menu.
The interface is translated into eight new languages—Mexican Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese—broadening accessibility for non‑English speakers.
- Activate text‑to‑speech for menu navigation if visual clarity is an issue.
- Select your preferred language in options to view fully localised UI text.
