After demons invade Earth, you take the role of a lone marine fighting through the ravaged world. The story sets up a series of battles against the invading forces.
Move quickly through each level, shoot varied demons, dodge attacks, and manage ammunition, health, and armor. Find keys and switches to open routes and locate each exit; the Super Shotgun and new enemy types add options and challenges to combat.
The campaign progresses through connected levels rather than separate episodes. This collection also includes the TNT: Evilution and Plutonia Experiment episodes, twenty Master Levels, and an enhanced version with updated controls, widescreen support, and local split-screen co-op and PvP.
Players often praise the Super Shotgun, fast and satisfying combat, and the variety of demon encounters. Several also value the level secrets and the extensive mod scene. Some reviews find parts of the campaign confusing or uneven, and describe certain enemy encounters as frustrating.

| Multiplayer | The provided store text explicitly states local split-screen multiplayer with co-op and PvP in the enhanced version. Steam features list shared/split screen co-op and shared/split screen PvP, plus Remote Play Together. Reviews also repeatedly state that online multiplayer is available through community source ports such as Zandronum, ZDaemon, Odamex, and similar ports; one review notes the official package later gained online deathmatch, but this is only mentioned in a review and appears to refer to a newer combined package rather than the described Steam page. |
| Multiplayer & mods | The game is heavily moddable, and reviews state multiplayer is commonly accessed through source ports and mods/WADs. Reviews mention online play via Zandronum, ZDaemon, Odamex, SkullTag, and similar ports, with custom WADs and add-ons used for multiplayer experiences. Official text confirms free community add-on content, but does not state whether those add-ons are multiplayer-specific. |
