Game data
Freedoom is available in two versions, the first of which is a single-player focused game, split in two parts, each of which is compatible with different versions of the classic Doom franchise from id Software. The second is a multiplayer-focused experience for the popular “deathmatch” game mode.
Freedoom: Phase 1+2
|
Phase 1 is the first part of the single-player game, containing
four chapters which are nine levels each, smoothly paced for
beginner players. It is compatible with mods for the original
Doom and The Ultimate Doom.
|
FreeDM
|
FreeDM is a fast-paced competitive deathmatch game, part of the Freedoom project. Rather than the usual single-player focused levels, these contain no monsters and are intended for deathmatch only. It is compatible with mods for Doom II. |
Engine
Freedoom requires the additional download of a game engine to play. The following engines are highly recommended by the Freedoom project:
GZDoom
|
GZDoom is an advanced engine, with many features and extremely high compatibility with the majority of mods released for Doom and Freedoom. |
Crispy Doom
|
Crispy Doom is a minimalist engine, adding few extra features to the engine while maintaining an old school feel. |
These engines, and many others, are made possible thanks to the Doom engine being released as free software in 1997.
Android
The Freedoom project does not officially support any engines nor forks, though we would like to note for convenience that there is a packaged version with GZDoom available for Android devices. It is available either on the Google Play Store, or as an installable APK.
Development snapshots
Freedoom is a project with constant, active development. If you would like to check out the current progress of the project, you may want to see an automated build of the latest version in Git.
