Summary

  • Persona 5 Royal steps up its gaming experience with the "DoomSona" mod allowing players to dive into classic shooter action.
  • Fans can boost Social Stats in-game by playing retro mini-games like Doom on a Retro Console within the fictional world.
  • While the original games in Persona 5 Royal are fun, "DoomSona" mod offers a more immersive experience for Joker and players alike.

the most immersive RPGs ever made thanks to its in-depth time management system but thanks to a talented fan, it just became even more realistic with the introduction of an actual video into its fictional world. When Joker isn't running fighting all manner foes with the Phantom Thieves, the suave protagonist can spend some time in his room playing retro video games to boost his Social Stat points. Each of the titles available for purchase in-game is played with fun mini-games but none of them are as advanced as a classic 90s shooter.

Posted to YouTube by Faz, the "DoomSona" mod, created by Xan1242 and KingJackSkellington on GameBanana, does what one might expect and makes the iconic shareware version of Doom playable inside Persona 5 Royal.

s will simply need to purchase a Retro Game Console and the Doom (Shareware) item from the Secondhand Shop in Yongen-Jaya, prompting Morgana to speak about the game briefly before suggesting Joker heads home to play it. Once attached to the computer in his room, players are able to boot up Doom as if they were playing a standalone version of the game instead of a convincing mod.

It's worth noting that the "DoomSona" mod doesn't include the game files for Doom so anyone who wants to give the add-on a try will need to own a copy of the game to give it a try. Fortunately, there is a bit of variety on offer as the creators note that several other Doom games are compatible with the mod, including Ultimate Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth. Even the cult-classic first-person shooter created as a marketing stunt Chex Quest is playable in Persona 5 Royal thanks to the mod's flexibility.

While Persona 5 Royal may have a variety of original games for Joker to play on his Retro Console, they're largely simple affairs that aren't as fleshed out as Doom. Still, it can be worth spending some time playing the likes of Punch Ouch, a fun riff on Nintendo's classic Punch Out!!, and Star Forneus given the buffs they can provide to the protagonist's Social Stat points. Just make sure Joker doesn't end up losing, otherwise it could be a colossal waste of time, which is the most valuable resource in Persona 5 Royal.

Persona 5 Royal is the latest game to be able to run Doom inside it but plenty of other strange platforms have come before it. The shooter has a reputation for being able to run on nearly any kind of electronic device, including inside other games. Some standouts include a pregnancy test, inside another copy of Doom.
