The minis, what little I was able to see of them, looked good. But what I saw was small, small pics in the prototype rulebook.

The map seems to be (will be) puzzle-cut 'geomorphic' boards making up the sort of terrain you saw in, well, the DOOM games. Very Space Hulk, very Legions of Steel. The printing quality was good.

There's a Marine player (or players), and a Monster player. The Monster player has a map of the whole layout for each scenario, and knows what's coming, the Marine player doesn't. Each 'section' is revealed as the Marines advance into it for the first time. Each section will have 'spawning points', and monsters can/will appear in them, as long as they're out of LOS of the Marines. Items work in a similar fashion.

The game itself is interesting, it's card-driven in a few ways. The Marines all have 3 special abilities each, things like 'Medic', 'Sniper', 'Close Assault', and combos are important and encouraged. The monsters get cards as well, with a scad of special abilities and enhancements.

The scenarios are an overview map on one side, details and special rules on the other, and the ones they had to show off were the three original DOOM episodes, at least in name. The maps themselves weren't of the originals, though.

Dice are used to resolve combat, and each one has markings for range, damage, and special events on them. There are four colors, red, green, yellow, blue, and each type is different, giving a variety of results, and monsters/Marines will roll different combinations and numbers of dice for different weapon effects. It's pretty elegant, and from the design (and the designer's statements) it was inspired by SJG's Frag in a few ways
