Days of Doom - PlayStation 5

The apocalypse wasn’t the end of the world. It was merely the end of the world as we knew it. Welcome to Days of Doom, a post-apocalyptic tactical RPG roguelite that invites players on a thrilling journey to Sanctuary, a beacon of hope and refuge in a world teeming with vibrant chaos. In Days of Doom, you begin your journey with a small group of survivors. Your mission is to navigate through a world fraught with danger, including zombies, raiders, and even zombie raiders! As you traverse this new world, you’ll need to assemble a diverse team of heroes to safeguard your burgeoning community and pave the way forward.

Each hero in Days of Doom boasts unique abilities that are crucial to your success in the game’s turn-based combat. For instance, Pyro, with his ability to ignite enemies for sustained damage, is an excellent choice for an early attack. The Hydromancer and the Thrasher, when used in tandem, can deliver a powerful one-two punch. The Hydromancer sets the stage with a ranged water attack, and then the Thrasher follows up with a shocking surprise for drenched enemies. While the odds may seem stacked against you, strategic use of your heroes’ abilities, coupled with timely upgrades and the acquisition of new abilities, can tip the scales in your favor.

Days of Doom offers an inherently replayable experience, as no two runs are ever identical. This element of unpredictability keeps players on their toes and ensures that each playthrough feels fresh and exciting.

The game features beautifully animated hand-drawn art that breathes life into its quirky post-apocalyptic vision. With eight character classes, each equipped with unique default and special abilities, players have a wealth of strategic options at their disposal.

Days of Doom presents players with a diverse array of enemies, ranging from the classic zombie to deadly raiders, explosive monstrosities, and two exceptionally challenging boss fights. With over 50 random events that offer risk-reward scenarios and more than 70 items and runes to collect, players have ample opportunities to turn the odds in their favor.

The game’s roguelite progression system ensures that while no two runs will be identical, each run brings you closer to your ultimate goal. Permanent upgrades to stats such as party size and resource accumulation speed mean that every run is a step forward, regardless of the outcome.

Rounding out the Days of Doom experience is an original orchestral soundtrack by Jelle Dittmar, which perfectly complements the game’s post-apocalyptic setting. The haunting melodies and stirring compositions serve to enhance the immersive nature of the game, drawing players deeper into the world of Days of Doom.
