All Doom Games In Order

1. Doom 3 (2004)

Set in 2145 on the Mars research facility of the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC), a nameless Marine arrives to find an atmosphere of palpable dread and scientific arrogance. Strange phenomena and unsettling whispers plague the staff, culminating in a catastrophic rift opening between our reality and a literal dimension of fire and screams. The base is instantly transformed into a haunted industrial tomb where the dead rise as mindless husks and shadows possess a lethal, sentient malice.

As the facility is overrun by demonic entities, the Marine must navigate the claustrophobic, flickering corridors of Delta Labs to survive the burgeoning infestation. He discovers that the UAC was experimenting with ancient Martian technology, inadvertently sacrificing the souls of the living for a promise of limitless power. The primary threat shifts from a desperate search for survivors to a frantic race to find a mysterious artifact known as the Soul Cube before the infection reaches Earth. Every shadow in the base seems to pulse with a predatory intent, testing the soldier's resolve against a darkness that defies military logic.

The narrative explores the isolation of a lone survivor caught in a supernatural meat grinder where human reason has utterly collapsed. The relationship between the Marine and the taunting, disembodied voice of Dr. Betruger highlights the transformation of the facility into an altar for an ancient evil. As he prepares to descend into the heart of the primary portal, the suspense hinges on whether his mortal spirit can withstand the corrosive influence of Hell's core. He stands at the threshold of the abyss, realizing that his weapons are the only things standing between humanity and an eternal nightmare.

2. Doom (1993)

A space marine is exiled to Mars following an assault on a superior officer, finding himself stationed at a mundane research facility on the moon Phobos. This routine assignment shatters when the UAC's teleportation experiments go catastrophically wrong, allowing the denizens of Hell to pour into the lunar base. Left as the sole survivor of his unit, he must arm himself with whatever weaponry he can scavenge to hold the line against an impossible tide. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and rot as the once-sterile labs become a playground for the damned.

The conflict escalates as the marine fights his way through the demon-infested halls of Phobos and Deimos, eventually discovering that the second moon has vanished entirely. He realizes the invasion isn't just a localized breach but a calculated assault on reality itself, orchestrated by a malevolent, hive-minded intelligence. The environment shifts from industrial corridors to grotesque, occult-themed landscapes where the laws of physics are equally distorted by supernatural malice. His journey becomes a harrowing pilgrimage through the ruins of human ambition, driven by a primal need for retribution.

The tension rests on the marine's transformation from a discarded soldier into a mythic force of vengeance. He finds himself standing at the threshold of the Hell-gate, the only obstacle preventing a total demonic exodus into the mortal realm. As the ground beneath him pulses with malevolent intent, the narrative leaves him on the precipice of a final, desperate charge into the abyss to close the portal from within. He prepares for a confrontation with the heart of the infestation, wondering if any world will remain once the smoke of the breach finally clears.

3. Doom II (1994)

Returning to Earth after the harrowing events on the Martian moons, the Doom Marine finds his home planet already in the clutches of the demonic horde. The sky is choked with ash, and billions have fallen as the invaders utilize the planet's own cities as breeding grounds for their grotesque kin. His singular objective is to clear a path through the carnage for the remaining human survivors to escape the planet via a massive spaceport. The world he once knew has been replaced by a landscape of fire and urban decay, where the ghosts of civilization haunt every street.

The struggle intensifies as he navigates the ruins of Earth's last bastions, witnessing the total collapse of modern society. He discovers that the source of the invasion is a massive, pulsating rift located in his own hometown, protected by a titanic intelligence that oversees the world's consumption. Every victory feels pyrrhic as the marine realizes that the "gate" is not just a doorway but a sentient entity that feeds on the suffering of the survivors. The conflict becomes an agonizing war of attrition, pitting a single man's rage against the collective bloodlust of an entire dimension.

The thematic focus centers on the desperate resilience of a warrior who has lost everything and has nothing left but his weapons. He must forge a path into the heart of the hellish infestation, knowing that the only way to save Earth is to enter the very center of the demon's womb. As the final barrier between humanity and extinction, he prepares for a confrontation with a monstrosity that defies description. The suspense builds to a fever pitch as he stands before the Icon of Sin, realizing that his own survival is secondary to the closure of the rift.

4. Doom 64 (1997)

Years after the initial invasion, the radioactive ruins of the Martian facilities remain under quarantine, haunted by the lingering echoes of the demonic breach. A high-dosage radiation burst intended to sanitize the base instead triggers a mass resurrection of the demonic entities, led by a mysterious, potent entity known as the Mother Demon. A lone marine is once again dispatched to the facility, tasked with the final, absolute extermination of the remaining rot. The once-familiar halls are now draped in a more oppressive, ethereal gloom that suggests the base has become part of the abyss itself.

The atmosphere is thick with a new, more lethal brand of occult terror as the marine navigates traps and puzzles left behind by a civilization of suffering. He discovers that the Mother Demon is actively reshaping the facility into a temple for her return, drawing strength from the lingering trauma of the previous wars. The conflict shifts from a military operation to a psychological trial, as the environment itself begins to bleed and scream under the weight of the supernatural presence. He is no longer just a soldier; he is a specialist in the absolute destruction of the unholy.

The relationship between the survivor and the encroaching darkness explores the toll of eternal warfare on the human spirit. The marine realizes that his destiny is inextricably tied to the very monsters he hunts, suggesting a cycle of violence that may never reach a peaceful conclusion. As he approaches the Mother Demon's inner sanctum, he faces a choice that could seal him away from his home forever. The narrative closes on his descent into a final, inescapable arena, where the only way to ensure the demon's death is to embrace his role as the eternal guardian of the gate.

5. Doom (2016)

An ancient sarcophagus is unearthed within a massive UAC facility on Mars, releasing a legendary warrior known in Hell's scriptures as the Doom Slayer. He awakens to a world where industrial hubris has once again opened the gates of Hell, but this time, the corporation is actively harvesting the energy of the abyss to solve Earth's resource crisis. The Slayer's awakening is not an accident; he is a primal force of retribution designed to extinguish the fire of the demonic infestation. His arrival marks the end of corporate logic and the beginning of a total, unyielding purge.

The conflict escalates as the Slayer pursues the cult-like leader Olivia Pierce, who has bartered the souls of her staff for a promise of divine ascension. He travels from high-tech research labs into the scorched, bone-strewn plains of Hell, reclaiming ancient artifacts and weapons that recognize his mythic lineage. The narrative highlights the friction between the cold pragmatism of the UAC and the Slayer's absolute, uncompromising hatred for the demonic, leading to a total breakdown of the Martian outpost's infrastructure. Every encounter with the horde reveals a piece of the Slayer's own forgotten, blood-stained history.

The tension rests on the Slayer's identity as a relic of a forgotten war and the burden of being the universe's only effective deterrent against the occult. He discovers the history of the Knight Sentinels and his own role in a cosmic betrayal that predates human memory. As he prepares to close the "Well" and sever the link between the dimensions, he realizes that the corporation's ambition has left the world vulnerable to a much larger threat. The story leaves him suspended in a state of precarious victory, as a familiar voice warns that the price of his crusade has only just begun to be paid.

6. Doom Eternal (2020)

Hell has literally come to Earth, consuming the planet in a tide of gore and religious fervor overseen by an ancient celestial race known as the Maykrs. The Doom Slayer returns from his exile aboard a massive space fortress, intent on hunting down the three Hell Priests who are facilitating the planet's consumption. His journey takes him from the ruins of human cities to the frozen bastions of his own forgotten people, the Night Sentinels. The war is no longer a localized breach but a multi-dimensional struggle for the survival of the human soul.

The friction intensifies as the Slayer realizes that the demonic invasion is a calculated harvest designed to sustain the paradise of the Maykrs. He must navigate the political and spiritual ruins of a cosmic conspiracy, reclaiming his former power to defy the very beings who once granted it. The scale of the war grows to encompass the literal origins of life and death, as the Slayer seeks a way to kill the seemingly immortal Khan Maykr and halt the awakening of a prehistoric titan. Every victory brings him closer to a truth that threatens to shatter the foundation of his own mythic origin.

The thematic focus centers on the weight of an eternal crusade and the moral ambiguity of a hero who has become as terrifying as the monsters he slays. The Slayer's connection to his former comrades and the betrayal that birthed his legend comes to the forefront of the struggle. As he approaches the final barrier between the physical world and the heart of the abyss, he faces the realization that his rage is the only thing capable of defying divine will. The suspense builds to a final, planet-shaking confrontation where the future of existence hangs on the edge of his blade.
