- == Game data
- _Freedoom_ is available in two versions, the first of which is a
- single-player focused game, split in two parts, each of which is
- compatible with different versions of the classic _Doom_ franchise
- from id Software. The second is a multiplayer-focused experience for
- the popular ``deathmatch'' game mode.

- https://github.com/freedoom/freedoom/releases/download/v0.12.1/freedoom-0.12.1.zip[Freedoom: Phase 1+2]::
- _Phase 1_ is the first part of the single-player game, containing
- four episodes which are nine levels each, smoothly paced for
- beginner players. It is compatible with mods for the original
- _Doom_ and _The Ultimate Doom_.

- _Phase 2_ is the second major part of the single-player game, a
- massive 32-level episode expanding upon the same concepts present
- in _Phase 1_, as well as containing additional monsters and the
- double-barreled shotgun! The levels in this game tend to demand
- more skillful play than the previous episodes. It is compatible
- with mods for _Doom II_.
- https://github.com/freedoom/freedoom/releases/download/v0.12.1/freedm-0.12.1.zip[FreeDM]::
- _FreeDM_ is a fast-paced competitive deathmatch game, part of the
- Freedoom project. Rather than the usual single-player focused
- levels, these contain no monsters and are intended for deathmatch
- only. It is compatible with mods for _Doom II_.
- == Engine
- _Freedoom_ requires the additional download of a game engine to
- play. The following engines are highly recommended by the _Freedoom_
- project:
- [horizontal]
- https://gzdoom.drdteam.org/[GZDoom]::
- GZDoom is an advanced engine, with many features and extremely
- high compatibility with the majority of mods released for _Doom_
- and _Freedoom_.
- https://fabiangreffrath.github.io/crispy-doom[Crispy Doom]::
- Crispy Doom is a minimalist engine, adding few extra features to
- the engine while maintaining an old school feel.
- These engines, and https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Source_port[many others],
- are made possible thanks to the _Doom_ engine being released as
- https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html[free software] in 1997.
- === Android
- The _Freedoom_ project does not officially support any engines nor
- forks, though we would like to note for convenience that there is a
- packaged version with GZDoom available for Android devices. It is
- available either on the
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nullsum.freedoom[Google
- Play Store], or as an installable
- https://github.com/mkrupczak3/Freedoom-for-Android/releases/latest[APK].
- == Development snapshots
- Freedoom is a project with constant, active development. If you would
- like to check out the current progress of the project, you may want to
- see an automated http://freedoom.soulsphere.org/[build of the latest
- version in Git].
- == Previous releases
- Freedoom is an old project with many past releases, you may find some
- of them on the https://github.com/freedoom/freedoom/releases[GitHub
- release page]. Unfortunately, many old releases have been officially
- pulled due to copyright violations discovered in the source tree, so
- we can only provide as back as far as 0.6.4.
