Doom Zero is a 32-level megawad for Doom II, using DeHackEd to introduce new monsters, created by Christopher Golden (DASI-I) of Iruka Software. It was originally released on September 30, 2019 for the 25th anniversary of Doom II's release, and was given the status of runner-up for the 2019 Cacowards. It has a particular focus on platforming and switch puzzles. On December 15, 2020, it was added to the list of official add-ons for the Doom re-release by Bethesda. Further updates happened in 2021, leading to version 2.2 on March 9 and the current version 3.0 on August 24.

Monsters[edit]
- The alpha soul, which replaces the Wolfenstein SS, uses the early graphics of the lost soul from the Doom press release beta, has 100 hit points and attacks by shooting cacodemon projectiles which, interestingly, can damage cacodemons. (In early versions of the mod, it was referred to as "soul droid" and had kept the hitscan attack.)
- The demon witch, which replaces Romero's head but is non-shootable. Instead, its vulnerable heart replaces the tall blue torch, with 500 hit points.
- The Commander Keen sprite was replaced with a Dopefish one.
Levels[edit]

Soundtrack[edit]The mod mostly uses music from Doom and Doom II, originally composed by Robert Prince.
