DOOM - Nintendo Switch Edition
Doom, the brutally fun and challenging modern-day shooter, can now be taken anywhere with Nintendo Switch! Relentless demons, impossibly destructive guns, and fast, fluid movement provide the foundation for intense, first-person combat – whether you’re obliterating demon hordes through the depths of Hell in the single-player campaign, or competing against your friends in numerous multiplayer modes. Doom for Nintendo Switch also includes all the game's multiplayer DLC and Arcade Mode.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
