A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

No WASD, no strafe, not fair.
I got it by running around the imps and going for the grunts (all enemies are "monsters" in Doom)
Reposting from my other reply: There is strafe actually, even two ways of doing it, using original DOS bindings:
<and>oralt+left/right arrow. For me the easiest way to do it without strafe is just to move forward a bit, then go back and wait for dudes to come in from the right. Dealing with imps is really hard since their fireballs are sped up significantly. I tried a bit more and it seems it's possible to actually beat this level properly. You can get other weapons and powerups. It's just really hard with speed mode and nightmare difficulty.Honestly, the easiest way is to move forward a bit. The imps can't hit you, and the grunts will come toward you, so it becomes a shooting gallery instead of you being in a bullet hell.
