Founded in 1991, the first id Software games failed to meet fanfare. Everything changed with the releases of Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, and Quake in five years.
QUAKE CHAMPIONS
The Quake franchise is infamous for changing the formula with every release. The most recent game, Quake Champions, has the potential to be one of the best id Software games.
DOOM RPG / DOOM RPG II
Rather than forcing DOOM onto the mobile platform, id Software adapts DOOM for mobile gaming. Turning the FPS into a turn-based RPG is a great success.
ORCS & ELVES
Next on our list of id Software games ranked is their best mobile offering. Rather than re-tool an established franchise for the mobile platform, Orcs & Elves is a new IP.
RAGE
2010’s RAGE is more than a showcase of id Tech 5. It represents a huge gamble from id Software as a developer. Beyond taking a chance with a new IP and world, RAGE also strongly focuses on its story and characters.
COMMANDER KEEN
Before being known for shooters, id Software developed the Commander Keen franchise. Best known for 2D platforming, it’s a cult classic from the id Software catalog.
