No matter what game, it HAD to be compared to Doom. All games after Doom had to be a real time, 1st person, blood caked on the walls, arcade game or it sucked. Not to mention that it was hyped for nine+ months before it was released. It amuses us to no end that a little known, turn based, game simular to minture board games would de-thrown Doom so soon.
