It's said the Lord of Hell collects the souls of mighty warriors.

Some say he pits them against one another to win his favour. Others say they fight still to this day.

So it is said...

Doomed is an arena fighter that tasks you against the endless armies of hell. Keep fighting and avoid getting hit to keep the favour of your demonic overlord. Should the meter, which gets increasingly harder to maintain, fall too low, you will lose more than favour...

Controls

Loved the combat feel and the doom aesthetic. The grapple attack was really fun to use and my best score was just over 13k. Great job everyone!

This game is freaking amazing. The lack of ratings you've received is criminal. The floating heads--never seen anything quite like that and huge bonus points for letting me grapple around them. Also love how you don't really seem to die (or at least not explicitly) from getting hurt so much as you do from not impressing the gods. Really great work, had lots of fun.

Nice game, I really like the old doom games (and the new ones too) so I wasn't surprised that I enjoyed this. The graphics were very impressive and a perfect blend between old retro 3D graphics and new modern graphics with shading and reflections, the animations and particles were also quite nice the felt appropriately bouncy and satisfying, however I would recommend to add some camera shake, that would greatly improve the feel of the game but otherwise I would say that the graphics were on point. The music and sound effects was also quite nice and really fit the theme very well. Overall great game, I really enjoyed playing this.

A very interesting game with interesting mechanics and a cool soundtrack. Great job).

The doom vibe is here, but the game quickly becomes quite hard to read. The graphics and the music and sound design are great, well done!

Cool game. I like the pixelated graphics and the grappling hook!

Really cool fighting game and sweet graphics and effects, becomes a bit chaotic in the end, but combat is fun and engaging!

i found it hard to tell when i was doing bad which was frustrating because i was having fun. i think with some polish and play testing you could have a really fun arena highscore fps game though. the sword getting a ranged attack the better you play is great, the grapling hook felt a bit reduntant so maybe add in some plat forms or something or fences to jump over.

Very nice game

Very fun game, once I figured out you can grapple to the overlords the gameplay opened up nicely. It is quite satisfying hacking away at the enemies.

The game is nice! Though, I do think that the fps is too low for a game that needs fast response, and it's too pixelated to be seen clearly as well (but could be my pc problem too). Aside from that, everything is nice, the camera, attack animation, running, music, everything! Great work.

I love the controls in this game they're just so good AAAAAA. The grappling hook and dash add a lot to the gameplay, and I liked how you could grapple the enemies and overlords in addition to just the walls. Really enjoyable time.

I really love the doom-like graphics, the sword play is pretty enjoyable too. It would be nice if we can see our health bar. But overall this is a great game :D

This is really great! Nice take on the theme, and the progression of things getting more and more chaotic kept things interesting.

It'd be nice if there was a bit more "juice" to it - things like hitting and getting hit feeling like they had more impact. The mouse sensitivity was also a bit higher than I prefer, but I can't fault an LD game for that!

Oh, this one had really nice and smooth gameplay, it was fun and enjoyable. The easthetics chosen for this game were also pleasing to the eye and suited the theme you went with well. Keerp up the good work, really nice entry!
