About

The apocalypse wasn’t the end of the world. Just the one we knew. Enter the Days of Doom, a post-apocalyptic tactical RPG roguelite that challenges players to reach Sanctuary, a place of promise and respite in a world of colorful chaos. Starting with a small cast of survivors, you’ll chart a path to reach your ultimate destination, encountering threats, including zombies, raiders, and even zombie raiders! Along the way you will need to recruit a ragtag band of heroes to protect your growing community and fight your way forward. Discovering how to best utilize each hero's unique abilities is the key to success in Days of Doom’s turn-based combat. Attack with Pyro early in the battle, as he ignites enemies for lasting damage. Then combine the Hydromancer and the Thrasher in a one-two knockout punch. Hydromancer can set the stage with a ranged water attack, and then the Thrasher can deliver a shocking surprise to wet enemies. The odds against you may seem insurmountable, but if you use your heroes' abilities strategically, upgrade them, and add new abilities along the way, you might just make it. No two runs are ever the same, which keeps you at the top of your game, and makes Days of Doom inherently replayable.

    There’s a long list of things that Days of Doom needed to be a successful roguelite tactics game. It needed to be quicker, more varied, less grindy and give you more options in a given battle. One of them would be a problem, but four is fatal. It’s not a bad game by any means, and it’s certainly a pretty one, but we’ve played three similar games this year – Oaken and Dark Quest 3 being the others – and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them over Days of Doom.

    The missing ingredients within Days of Doom don’t spell disaster, as its strategy and randomised quests still hold plenty within. With a little added spice, it would have been an easy recommendation. As it stands, its solid but uninspiring tactical gameplay will appease those who pick it up, but Days of Doom can only float haphazardly across the sea of familiarity.

    Days of Doom is a competent combination of rogue-lite elements and turn and tile-driven combat. Battles are tense, especially when bigger and boss enemies arrive, and require players to carefully think about their character’s abilities and positioning.

    A solid beginner entry into Turn Based and Roguelike genres. Days of Doom doesn’t have enough for veterans but will certainly entertain while it lasts.

    Days of Doom has this same problem, and it is apparent in the music choices in the game. The theme of the game is the same in the combat and the slow guitar does begin to grate after a while. However, for all those issues, I did find myself having fun while playing. Once I turned off the music, put something on in the background, and got a few levels on my camp buildings it all started to come together. It wasn't perfect, but there was a flow that kept me engaged for a few hours at a time.

    Days of Doom é uma divertida mistura entre roguelite e RPG tático que o mantém entretido em grande parte por sua simplicidade. Embora o jogo consiga captar bem a sensação de querer jogar só mais uma run, sua simplicidade acaba também limitando o tempo que se consegue aproveitá-lo.
