Top-Down Shooter Game Mighty Doom Calling It Quits Within One Year Of Its Global Release
08.05.2024 - 09:59 / droidgamers.com
Remember Mighty Doom, the 2D endless runner based on the Doom series? Well, it’s preparing to shut its servers down soon. Developed by Alpha Dog Games and published by Bethesda Softworks, the game was soft-launched in April 2021 and released worldwide in March 2023. So, why is it pulling the plug so quickly? Keep reading to find out.
The game is calling it quits on August 7th, 2024. The decision comes following the shutdown of operations of Alpha Dog Games, the developer of the game. It seems like the shutdown of Mighty Doom is part of a larger picture of layoffs. Along with Alpha Dog, other game studios like Arkane Austin, Roundhouse Games and Tango Gameworks are also shutting down.
The details of the layoffs are still a bit murky. However, it’s clear that the gaming industry is also taking a hit with all the job cuts. Despite all of this, Microsoft hasn’t delivered an official statement yet about Mighty Doom’s shutdown. Maybe it’s a strategic move to shuffle resources around or to clear the way for big hits down the road.
All in-app purchases in Mighty Doom have already been turned off. If you’ve recently bought something in-game, the developers have arranged for refunds to be issued. Just be sure to follow the steps outlined in the official tweet to get your money back.
Have you played the game yet? If not, let me give you a quick lowdown. It’s based on the Doom franchise, which is a series of first-person shooter games hailed as one of the pioneers in the genre. The game lets you take on the role of the Mini Slayer and fight off swarms of demons and zombies.
Mighty Doom is an extensions of the brand outside of the main series, offering a different take by adapting the franchise into an arcade-style, top-down shooter. If you haven’t played it yet, you still have time till August 7th. So, grab it from the Google Play Store and give it a try!

FFXIV Gets One Of Its Weirdest Crossovers Yet Ahead Of Dawntrail's Release
is known as being one of the largest and often most bizarre MMOs on the market but its latest crossover promotion may be one of its weirdest marketing collaborations yet. Having said that, it's fairly common practice for brands to approach popular video games and offer unique in-game items that can only be accesed by purchasing a can of Monster Energy or a packet of Doritos. Yet it's rare to see a game so steeped in fantastical mythology and deity-slaying heroes be the face of such a campaign.

A while back Ubisoft revealed about a billion Assassin's Creed projects. The first of these to leap into the carefully placed haystack of release was Mirage, which I liked. Up next, it seems, is the artist formally known as Assassin's Creed: Codename Red. All we knew about red was that it would be set in feudal Japan, something fans have been clamouring for for literal years. Now we know that it's an AC game set in feudal Japan called Assassin's Creed Shadows, and it's getting an "official cinematic world premiere trailer" debut on YouTube tomorrow, at 5pm BST.

Enter The Chronosphere is a fast, furious yet laidback series of top-down shooting hamster mazes
Back in the late 90s when all of you NORMIES were playing Diablo, I was playing a little-known Konami ARPG called Azure Dreams, which has alas never escaped PlayStation prison. It's a grid-based, upwardly mobile roguelitey dungeon crawler set in a big tower, each floor a semi-randomised maze of monsters (which you can capture), traps and pick-ups, where player and creature actions happen simultaneously.
