Still holds up today! The remaster has improved graphics, more frames per second as well as concept arts and an restored deleted level, but those improvements exept for the additional content can also be achieved by modding of this gem!

This plus The Force Engine is the definitive way to play this game. The perfect Doom clone, bar none. Force Engine is worth it for the save/load feature alone.

I would seriously recommend playing this version of the game, using "The Force Engine" port, over the Remaster. Remaster is fine for what it is I suppose, but 40$ for an arguably worse looking experience to what has already been available for years first in the XL engine and now even better in The Force Engine is kinda lame. The game looks way better with the original pixelart textures and cutscenes, the Remaster just kinda has that uncanny meh look to it for me.
