This time around, the military sends a team of “Combat Engineers” back to Mars to investigate a mysterious signal originating from the old UAC site there. RoE‘s story begins two years after the events of Doom III. I’m describing a sequence of events from the immersive Resurrection of Evil, an add-on pack for Doom III, co-developed by Nerve Software and id Software. The marine’s Chain Gun lays down a withering column of slugs, but not before cherubs, alligator-dogs and fireballs converge. Then, with a flash of orange lightning, a lumbering, eight-foot tall demon lieutenant appears, spewing a rapid-fire stream of fireballs from the guns that are grafted to where hands should be.
The gunfire is a hollow, distant thing inside the helmet. The door opens, granting access to the waste reclamation system, and almost instantly, a swarm of zombies, demonic cherubs and other things, like a cross between a dog and a partially vivisected alligator, leap forward. The harsh sound of the re-breather is the loudest thing that can be heard. Sounds go hollow and dim as the marine pulls on the Environment Suit helmet.
