How the game changes

Weapons, keys, powerups and exit switches provide checks. Level-access items and map-specific keycards control progression.
The hub allows leaving and revisiting levels while preserving their state, with built-in key and check tracking.
Complete the enabled campaign sections; secret maps can be added alongside a main section.
Choose skill level, randomized monsters and pickups, music shuffle, mirrored maps and starting computer maps.
Customize backpack capacity and split upgrades by ammunition type. DeathLink and map resets are optional, while Pro logic can require advanced tricks.

Before you start

This uses original DOOM II data from Steam's DOOM + DOOM II collection. The shared artwork and review count represent that collection, not a separate DOOM II store audience.
Select DOOM II in the APDoom 2.0 launcher and use the original DOS DOOM2.WAD. Rerelease WADs can have visual or compatibility problems; shareware is not a substitute.
Legacy APDoom 1.2.0 is no longer supported. Migrate to a clean 2.0 folder and keep old saves backed up; do not mix 32-bit and 64-bit dependencies.
The stable 2.0 client supports the core APWorld. Optional beta worlds and custom campaigns are separate choices, not prerequisites for this listing.
Allow Death Logic can put progression behind a one-attempt puzzle that requires a map reset after failure. Leave advanced tricks and this option off if unfamiliar with the maps.
Windows and native Linux/AppImage packages are available, including Steam Deck support. This does not establish compatibility with every third-party WAD or native co-op arrangement.
