Line 15:
* [[Evil, Inc.]]: Again, the UAC, which shows all throughout.
* [[Genre Throwback]]: Of sorts to the original ''Doom'' games, while simultaneously building over what worked in the 1990s and incorporating 2010s-era game design.
* [[Gorn]]: The "Glory Kill" mechanic, which allows you to brutally melee enemies to death upon staggering them. Most weapons, from the chainsaw and shotgun to the BFG, do a good job with gibs as well.
* [[Last of His Kind]]: {{spoiler|"Doomguy" is suggested to be the last of his world before Hell absorbed it.}}
* [[A Lighter Shade of Grey]]: Compared to the literal forces of Hell, Samuel Hayden even at his shadiest seems like a paragon of virtue.
* [[Magitek]]: Given how Argent energy is strongly tied to Hell and how much said energy source has become widely used by human civilization, technology
* [[Mega Corp]]: The Union Aerospace Corporation/UAC is definitely this, having struck metaphorical gold with the "discovery" of Argent energy on Mars.
* [[One Bullet Clips]]: Averted, as every gun in the game can hold as much ammo as you're capable of holding. And like the original ''Doom'' games, there's no reload whatsoever.
* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: {{spoiler|"Doomguy" is strongly implied to be this.}}
* [[Scenery Gorn]]: By the time you show up, Mars is already in the process of being screwed up by Hell.
* [[Sealed Good in a Can]]: "Doomguy" is definitely this, though makes it very clear that [[Good Is Not Nice]].
* [[Sincerest Form of Flattery]]: The game incorporates and builds upon elements from ''[[Brutal Doom]].''
* [[Stealth Sequel]]: It's strongly implied that "Doomguy" is the same character from the original games, albeit following a [[Broad Strokes]] rendition of them.
* [[Well Intentioned Extremist]]: The UAC, Samuel Hayden in particular, likes to present itself as this, believing that all its work (including its interest in ''Hell'' for Argent energy) is for the good of all mankind.
