A gamer has found a way to run Doom in Balatro. Balatro is one of 2024's smash-hit gaming success stories. Riffing off the main concepts of poker, Balatro insists on breaking the accepted rules to succeed. The game was developed in two and a half years by one person known as LocalThunk. Of the many deck-builders that gamers can get their hands on, players love Balatro because it has a simple premise that allows for deep and addictive gameplay.
On top of gamers loving and wanting to see what's next for the Doom franchise, many fans show their appreciation for the iconic original release by running the game on anything in sight. The origin of the meme is largely attributed to a 2006 video that shows Youtuber KevlarGorilla running the game on a Nintendo DS. At this point, the meme of being able to run Doom on something has been alive for nearly as long as the online gaming community itself has.
Balatro is a truly unique deckbuilder. That said, those looking for a similar experience have several options available to them.
