With little fanfair, id have released DOOM 2 RPG on the AppStore for $3.99…

Much like Wolfenstein RPG, it takes the world of the frist person shooter and turns it into a turn-based dungeon crawler style RPG. From the screens below it doesn’t look to have have the comic book appealappeal that Wolfenstein RPG had, but we’ll have to wait and see once I’ve got my hands on it.
