I honestly kinda find it sad that all this effort and talent went in to what is just an exact copy of Doom. A literal Doom clone. It's well-made and technically flawless, but is this really the limit of the devs desire, imagination and artistic vision? Like, imagine how good it would be if this dev put all their talent and knowledge to a game striving to be at least 10% original.

Even if it is, it is most assuredly not the only piece of art that they have ever made in their life.
That's kinda what i am saying, i want whatever these devs do next to make me eat my words.
Also it's only a Doom clone by the most expansive definition. It has more guns, more enemies, checkpoints, a map screen, jumping... There are a LOT of Doom clones out there but "an exact copy of Doom" this is not.
I would disagree with you there. Something like Modern Warfare is a Doom clone by the most expansive definition (IE: First-Person Shooter).
Obviously there are differences and additions, but at it's core it has the same theme as Doom, most of the enemies and guns are the same as Doom or roughly fit the same archetypes. To use the nice word, it's a blatant homage to it. And that's automatically a bad thing, and i don't believe it is done cynically, but the key to a good homage is to add just enough of your own spice and i think Prodeus fails at that.

Yes, forgot the not.
