#DOOM on the #SegaSaturn is a strange beast. It has an interesting development story regarding John Carmack and his meddling, which has resulted in a... Muddy experience.

The game is the same as the PlayStation version, but there are fewer bells and whistles, most notably, lighting effects, and general visuals are a downgrade. If i said Doom on PlayStation was dark in places... OH BOY.

Movement feels slow, a little sluggish, making certain platforming moments a chore. A contrast from the Playstation's slippery movement.

There can be moments of slowdown as levels get more and more complex, not unplayable but noticeable and a little frustrating.

Much like the 3DO versions, enemies seem quite passive at times, and projectiles move slower than expected. But Doomguy is hyped on adrenaline, and his fire rate seems double the normal speed. The chainsaw in this version is a beast!
