The level design, as with Doom, is only loosely based on the areas the player is supposed to travel through. The player can carry his weapons throughout the entire game (unless he is killed, of course), rather than starting from scratch several times as one The intermission screens following each level show a simple background image instead of a map. Unlike Doom, Doom II takes place over a single continuous sequence of linked levels, with brief textual interludes in order to advance the story, whereas the original Doom separated eight levels each into three episodes and a bonus fourth episode with a text interlude shown after beating the eighth level of each episode. There were no significant technological developments and no major graphical improvements gameplay still consists of the player navigating non-linear levels, picking up keys to unlock new areas, and killing as many monsters as possible. Its gruesome death causes devastation on Hell, and the portal to Earth has been sealed.ĭoom II is not a dramatically different game from its predecessor. After journeying through its twisted surface, the Marine manages to confront the Icon of Sin, a gigantic demon, and kills it. To close the portal, he must enter Hell again to stop the invasion. He gets back into the fight and exterminates the hellspawn from the town, and finds another entryway into Hell. Then, the remaining humans discover the source of the hellish invasion: the Marine's hometown. Humanity escapes, and he sits quietly waiting for death, knowing he saved his species. The Marine manages to enter the infested starport, slay all the demons in his way and is able to shut down the force field. All of humanity's remaining soldiers make a desperate assault on the starport, but eventually they are decimated and only the player remains. However, the starport is the only way for the ships to depart and the demons have protected it with a force field. With all the major cities in the world in ruins, the remaining leaders plan to use spacecraft to transport the survivors of Earth's population. He discovers that Earth has been invaded (as foreshadowed back in Doom I).

The player once again takes the role of a lone Marine, an unnamed hero, who, after escaping Hell and being the only survivor, returns to Earth.
