Technical details[edit]
A screenshot of Level 17: Crater in Final Doom showing the colored lighting (pale blue) in the crate room and slighty different HUD, asphalt gray colored graphics.
Support was added for the PlayStation Mouse, offering a potentially more PC-like control experience than was possible with its predecessor.
Maps are still stored in individual files, albeit with a ROM file extension – these files are WAD files, and use the same LZSS compression algorithm established in the Atari Jaguar version.
The super shotgun, which had suffered severely from the down-scaling needed for the prior game, was redrawn for the American and European versions of this game, giving it a “sleeker” appearance. However, for some reason, the Japanese release continues to use the same graphics as PlayStation Doom.
The Final Doom PLAYPAL is even larger than Doom’s, with 26 palettes:
- Palette 16 is used for the DOOM and STATUS graphics.
- Palette 17 is used for TITLE and BACK graphics.
- Palette 18 is used for IDCRED1.
- Palette 19 is used for WMSCRED1.
- Palette 20 is used for CONNECT, NETERR, LOADING, BUTTONS, PAUSE, and TILE.
- Palette 21 is used for the SKY02 texture.
- Palette 22 is a perfect copy of palette 0.
- Palette 23 is used for the SKY04 texture.
- Palette 24 is used for the SKY05 texture.
- Palette 25 is used for the SKY06 texture.
Though all of the resources for the Spiderdemon are included in the game’s data files and it appears in the cast call at the end of the game, it is not found in the Final Doom levels. System memory restrictions completely prevent it from being used in any of the included maps, based on calculation of the amount of memory available for sprites in each level.

Compatibility modes[edit]
DSDA-Doom supports various of compatibility settings to adjust its behavior, much like those initially implemented for MBF. In addition to individual settings for each difference in behavior, it allows the user to set compatibility levels to behave like earlier versions and modifications of the Doom engine. With the compatibility levels DSDA-Doom may provide almost flawless compatibility with regular demos, as well as those recorded with Boom engines.
To change compatibility levels, the tntcomp can be used ingame. The game can also be launched with the parameter, or with default_compatibility_level in the config file, followed by one of the following numbers:
Level | Emulated engine |
---|---|
1 | |
2 | |
3 | & Doom95 |
4 | (emulates exclusively the release with bugged teleports) |
5 | DOSDoom |
6 | TASDoom |
7 | Boom’s compatibility mode (emulates the inaccurate vanilla mode of Boom) |
8 | Boom v2.01 |
9 | Boom v2.02 |
10 | LxDoom v1.4.x |
11 | MBF |
12–16 | PrBoom (old versions) |
17 | Current PrBoom-plus |

Gameplay
The game being played
Players in Doom: The Boardgame are on one of two teams: the Invaders and the Marines. All of the Invader pieces are controlled by one player, and the rest of the players each control one marine piece. Before each game begins, the players must choose a scenario to play in. A campaign consisting of five scenarios is included with the game, each of the scenarios is named after the episodes from The Ultimate Doom (Knee-Deep in the Dead, The Shores of Hell, etc.) and five more included in the Expansion Set as well as an extra scenario not part of the campaign available for download at fantasyflightgames.com, and many more have been created using freeware scenario editors. The scenarios can be played separately, or consecutively as a campaign where Marine players can keep their weapons and stats for the next map.
Before the game starts the Marine players must pick 2-3 random cards that will give them special powerups. In a similar fashion the Invader gets to pick 5 cards from the Invader deck. The Invader cards can be used against the Marines in various ways and the Invader player also draws additional cards each turn, the number depending on the number of Marine players. The Invader deck also works as a timer and each time the cards run out, the Invader gets a free frag against the Marines. The Invader player must get six frags to win, and the Marines must reach the exit to win. A frag is given to the Invaders if a Marine dies. When a Marine dies, it must respawn at least eight, but no more than sixteen spaces away from where they were killed.
For their turn, each Marine player gets to choose an action, either advance 4 spaces and shoot once, or stay put but shoot twice, or advance 8 spaces but not shoot, or an execution of a special command combined with either advancing 4 spaces or shooting once. On the Invader player’s turn the Invaders can move several spaces according to their movement rate and make one attack.
As the Marines explore the level, they discover event markers such as computers or corpses of other marines that trigger actions and events such as providing the Marine with a keycard. The Invader player, on top of moving the Invaders along the board, gets to play the cards from his hand to create traps and surprises for the Marines, such as spawning more Invaders or upgrading Invader pieces.
A common opinion is that the game is biased in favor of the Invaders – especially with four players. The designer of the game, Kevin Wilson, claims that he can win equally well no matter which team he is playing .
Like many board games, it is common to develop house rules (called “mods” to fit the video game theme) to balance the game to players’ liking. The first (and only) official “mod” was the difficulty levels, also named after classic Doom skill levels, available for download at the game’s website.
Invaders included in the original game are Zombie, Imp, Trite, Demon, Mancubus, Arch-Vile, Hell Knight and Cyberdemon. Additional Invaders included in the expansion are Commando, Cherub, Revenant, Cacodemon, Maggot and Vagary.

Bugs[edit]
Inaccessible secretsedit
- In MAP09: Nessus, there is a wall that can be walked through, and behind this wall is a ledge with a revenant on the other side of a drop. This ledge — which is above the corridor containing the four teleport pads — holds a megasphere on Ultra-Violence skill level and a supercharge on lower skill levels, as well as a BFG9000 behind a hidden doorway. The doorway is marked as a secret, but because that sector is too thin for the player to actually enter it, the secret is never registered as being found. (This bug also affects the PC version of the level, and causes the intermission screen to be stuck at 0% secrets.)
- In MAP29: The Death Domain, a secret in the south-west corner of the map cannot be reached, as the texture which opens the entrance to this secret is missing.
All other secrets are fully accessible.

Red key in MAP19: Deepest Reaches, used to open an optional arsenal room in PC version, is useless in this version, as that room was removed entirely.
Name[edit]
Before the expansion’s release and before the name The Ultimate Doom was chosen, the game was referred to as The Definitive Doom Special Edition. References to the original name can be found in the source code and in the DOS installer of the game, which features the shortened name DOOM: Special Edition on the titlebar and suggests DOOM_SE as the default installation directory.
In the 2015 Doom source data release, an early version of the Ultimate Doom executable is included in the DoomMapsSE folder of the doom-maps.zip file. When run, its startup displays the title “DOOM System Startup 1.9 Special Edition” in black characters on a cyan background, instead of “The Ultimate DOOM Startup v1.9” in dark gray on light gray background.

Engine[edit]
For the release, the programmers involved made some small tweaks to the source code as required for the new episode, adding the necessary text strings, a fourth-episode demo to the demo sequence, and modifying the boss death triggers to accommodate for new boss situations in the sixth and final levels. This last change had the side effect of making the modified executable that depended on the old trigger behavior. Additionally, the programmers also fixed a glitch existing in previous releases where lost souls would not bounce on the floor or ceiling as intended. This change caused some demos previously recorded on levels including these monsters to .
In other respects the engine performs like Doom version 1.9, and in fact is still marked and internally considered as “v1.9” regardless of the changes mentioned previously, which produce occasional incompatibilities. As such it can run the 1.9 versions of Doom and Doom II, although when doing so the additional fourth demo is still requested by the executable, resulting in the termination of the program immediately following the third demo of the looping demo sequence. Also, when running the non-Ultimate 1.9 version of Doom the executable still expects the M_EPI4 lump, so that the engine will crash when showing the “Which episode?” screen.
Overview[edit]
The game plays much faster than its predecessor, with quick exploration and invasion mechanics. It has been compared favorably to similar board games such as Star Wars: Imperial Assault by critics. Up to four players take on the roles of UAC marines in a fireteam and oppose a single invader player who controls the game’s monsters. A significant departure from the earlier game is the lack of ammunition; instead, players can attack based on the cards in their action deck.
It has especially been noted for the quality of its figures for the players and demons, which are large, detailed, and neutrally colored.
