Plot[ | ]

The game is chronologically set before DOOM RPG. Secret experiments have taken place and incidents have happened on various UAC Bases located on Mars, Moon, Earth, Phobos, Deimos, et cetera. A team of soldiers accompanied by a scientist have ventured to the UAC base on the Moon to investigate, only to find the base is overrun by demons. At the beginning the group splits up and the player is on his/her own. Immediately noticed are conflicts between a UAC computer designated SAM and another unknown entity, designated VIOS. Conflicts with VIOS appear frequently in the game. After the player initially arrives in Hell s/he encounters the Pinkynator, a creature that spawns Pinkies. After passing through a portal the player finds her/himself on a UAC base on Earth. After re-entering Hell, the player encounters the Cyberdemon and finds out VIOS is the brain of another Icon of Sin. After the VIOS is defeated the game ends with an ominous sign off, letting the player know the fight is not over. edit Weapons

Monsters[ | ]

DOOM II RPG uses the same hierarchical system for monsters as the previous Doom RPG installment, with classes of monsters individualized by colors. In addition to the classes in Doom RPG, Doom II RPG adds some new classes:

  • Sawcubus Class
Lesser Sawcubus, Greater Sawcubus, and Chainstrosity
  • Watcher Class
Watcher and Sentinel

In addition to the new classes of enemies the game has two new bosses; the Pinkynator and VIOS. The Pinkynator is a boss level entity, capable of spawning a room full of Pinkies.

VIOS is the new Boss Brain inside the new Icon of Sin.

Cut Content[ | ]

Some content was cut from DOOM II RPG during development. This is evident by comparing the game and the game trailer.

  • The original name of the Sawcubus was Chainsaw Goblin
  • Zombie names were similar to DOOM RPG
  • A Heretic-style enemy can be seen in the trailer, but is not in the game
