Castle Phobos is a ten-level episode replacement for Doom II created by David Shrock. The WAD file has a timestamp of December 13, 1994. It was uploaded to the idgames archive in 2005. The WAD uses a custom soundtrack composed by Ross Warren.

This episode appears on Maximum Doom as CPHOBOS2.WAD.

Content

The mod has some custom sounds, sprites, and textures. A shotgun guy now uses sprites of a player but with a black uniform with red letter "s" on the back. An imp was changed into a new monster called death's shadow (but only in the txt file), its projectile's sprites are also replaced.
