DOOM 64 Reviews
While I’ve played many iterations of DOOM over the years going back to the original shareware the N64 incarnation of it was one that I’d missed out on...
DOOM 64 on Switch is a great package. It’s a very fun romp through a unique 32-level campaign that many fans will not have experienced before, and it comes bundled with six bonus levels intended to fill in the backstory between DOOM 64 and 2016’s DOOM (yes, you read that correctly). The game looks gorgeous, it plays wonderfully, there’s loads of content included, and you can play it where ever you like. Plus, with a price tag of $4.99 it’s well worth the cost of entry even just as a curiosity, but I suspect that once you step inside you’ll be hooked.
It's classic Doom at its best, but also something else --an old school shooter that also tries to do new stuff.

A little piece of video game history that comes back to life after several years of exclusivity, perhaps more than necessary. This new release also features exclusive content and visual enhancements that offer a pretty decent result by today's standards. It would be a real sin to ignore DOOM 64.

It's easy to take one look at Doom 64 and dismiss it as obsolete; but when you actually play through the first few hours of the game, you'll realize that not only Doom 64 is still a great first person shooter, but also that it proves why Doom is one of the greatest franchises ever made in the history of games.

Doom 64 was, and still is, a great Doom. With this remastering we will be able to experience with our own hands this link that had been lost with the old Nintendo console. A Doom that preserves intact the benefits of the originals, offering a darker and more terrifying adventure, but without forgetting to whom it owes its name.

Doom 64 is a great remaster of the somewhat forgotten Doom episode from Nintendo 64. It still offers unique visual style, great level design and fun gameplay. If you're a fan of retro shooters, you can't afford to miss it.

GREAT - Doom 64 is as fun to play today as it was back on the Nintendo 64, while looking better than ever. If you’re looking for a mindlessly entertaining way to pass the time until you can play Doom Eternal on the Switch this might be the best remedy for you.
Nightdive knocked it out of the park once again with yet another remaster that is so well-crafted that makes the original game look unplayable in comparison.
A faithful port for an atmospheric and grim classic doom experience that contains new levels and definitely worth the 5$ price point

Doom 64 invites players to revisit this overlooked gem of the series, and either alongside Doom Eternal or on its own, is well worth the price of admission.
It’s perhaps the best of the classic DOOMs, if you don’t mind that its soundtrack doesn’t have tunes that you can tap your feet to, that is.
Its gameplay is refined and this port in particular cleans up its most egregious rough edge. The maps are as confusing as ever but being able to see where you're going makes it much more tolerable. If you're a classic Doom fan and have never played Doom 64, you owe it to yourself to pick it up. This just may be the best classic-style Doom.
Doom 64 is an impressive port of the forgotten son of the series.
DOOM 64 is considered a cult classic, meaning that the people who love it, really love it. The one writing this doesn't though. It is way too slow, tries to have a horror atmosphere (and almost succeeds), although it is in no way a horror game, and, most importantly, the level design is mediocre at best, as its more about flipping switches than killing demons. Those who loved the original will be glad to know that this a very good port, with FHD resolution and an improved frame-rate - just don't expect any new content.
As a forgotten entry in the DOOM series, DOOM 64 received some much-needed attention through its 2020 remaster. If you thought this was nothing more than a Nintendo 64 port, you thought wrong. This is a highly unique classic FPS experience, and the re-release brings it to wider audiences.
Despite a few minor errors, DOOM 64 is still great 20 years later, and Nightdive's excellent port adds extra content to a game that is already worth your time.
Doom 64 returns after 23 years to show youngsters how a space marine can slay hordes of demons.

We are certainly not in front of the best of the Doom of the last century, but this does not mean that never as in this case, rediscovering the past and retracing it is important to fully enjoy a never so extraordinary present.

Successful remaster of a great game: Even after 23 years, Doom 64 still plays incredibly fresh.
