The trailer shows off the kind of maddening action that players will be experiencing once the mod comes out. Accompanied by a heart-pounding soundtrack, the protagonist slices and dices through imps and gunners, hacking away, throwing stars at Cacodemons, and engaging in feats of acrobatics that are associated with the elite skills of a ninja. There are a lot of interesting and game-changing mods for Doom out there, but this could be the first time that someone has thought to combine the granddaddy of FPS games with violent martial arts.

There's not a lot of information about Doom Shinobi, but then there's probably not much that needs to be told. The brief teaser pretty much says everything about it. It's also expected to be out
