First person shooters are great, but sometimes you want to pull back and get a wider view of the action. Inventive YouTuber DoIIoM has given Doom II <\/i>fans that chance with a tech demo for Doomiablo<\/i>, a mashup between Doom II <\/i>and Diablo II<\/i>. <\/p>\n

PC Gamer discovered the mod<\/a>, which gives players an isometric view of Doomguy running through Diablo-style corridors. The level design may be Diablo<\/i>, but the sound and sprites are pure Doom<\/i>. DolloM seems to have pulled the assets directly from Doom<\/i> II<\/i> and miniaturized them for Diablo’s <\/i>world.<\/p>\n

Even better, there’s loot. DolloM’s video shows a Diablo-style inventory where Doomguy switched out armor, compared different rifles with different stats, and collected gold. The video even teased multiplayer. This is just a tech demo and it’s all subject to change, but the thought of playing Doom <\/i>as an action RPG fills me with nostalgic glee.<\/p>\n
