Doom series surprisingly had a lot of christians overtones.

I believe in the original comic series he was actually a polish catholic and would say the hail Mary every time he killed a demon. I could be VERY wrong but OP is right, for a video game it seems to have a lot of Christian elements in it, unlike many games nowadays with sexual explicit content.

Having played Doom 2016, I wouldn't call it a Christian game. In the early levels, there are unarmed enemies called the "Possessed" which are human Martians possessed by the unnamed demons responsible for that game's events, and you're never offered a means to exorcise the demon or save them (or save anyone or anything else, for that matter) as much as you're expected to shoot at everything until it dies.
I will probably play Doom Eternal regardless, but I'm not expecting it to be any more Christian than any game with a soldier of fortune shooting everyone to death.

Doom external fixed this. People called them morality challenge which suggest possession kills the subject. That’s why are they starting to root.

Can't say I'm not a little bit disappointed. Doom eternal could of loosely represented a dramatic action-pack interpretation of Christian apocalypse but this will no longer be the case with "Aka" and "Makyrs" if this leak is true. Maybe the eventual 2036 reboot of doom might fix this or something.

Demons pretending to be angels seems to fit biblical Interpretations. Demons are just angels that rebel against god.

Yeah, nah! By the way, if you are like NuDude and NuDude: Eternally Bad, you are a heretic. I know, the Chruch Fathers and Reformers predicted this. Real Christians play Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 on the PrBoom Engine. Chocolate Doom is acceptable too.

A source engine that tries to replicate how Doom was on 1994 DOS as closely as possibly while still working on modern machines and without the nonsense and hassles that come with DOSBox.

So Doom guy could possibly be an antichrist type figure?
Thinking about this a bit, could the actual end-times false prophet be a demon hunter?
>Christ says if Satan casts out Satan then his kingdom cannot stand, but in the end days his kingdom doesn't stand, does it?
>Casting out demons is a sign that accompanies the believer, yet it's not a guarantee of their salvation (Matthew 7:22-23). Also, Judas was given power over demons.
>The dragon gives "his power and great authority" to the beast. His power and great authority is in his kingdom ran by demons.
>Matthew 24:24 says that false Christs/prophets can almost deceive the elect. They're not going to going to deceive the elect by cursing Christ, rather, appearing holy and twisting scripture.

What about the original Quake? It’s about killing a lovecraftian monster posing as a god.

It's pretty questionable honestly. In the plot, it's revealed that he got his powers from Seraphim, entities aligned with the Makyrs. So does that make him demonic too?
It seems that they wanted to make angels an enemy, but didn't want to anger their target demographic. So they just labeled them as "Makyrs" to have plausible deniability so that players wouldn't be guilty in killing them. Expect them to do the same thing in the new Diablo game.
I used to fall for that type of marketing gimmick until those creators showed their true colors. I remember that the Wachowskiis marketed Neo from the Matrix as a Christ-like figure only to retcon it and claim that it meant something else entirely different.
IIRC angels do take part in wiping out humanity in Revelations, but it's those who have adopted the Mark of the Beast. They recuse those who have aligned themselves with God.

It's not really Christian. Corporate culture wouldn't allow a product like that to be made. You can only trust yourself to make those products.
If you want the Christian position on this, the Book of Jude has an answer to it.

YouTube embed. Click thumbnail to play. I'm midway through the game and Hell is hardly being harrowed at all. I saw Golgotha mentioned in the lore, and I saw one obvious, unembellished cross, but possessed people are explicitly called cannon fodder in the lore, and there is exactly one demon (a Revenant who retrieves the Super Shotgun) that I expect other players might spare. The main antagonists are idolatrous "Hell Priests" who sacrifice the people of Earth to some holographic demon lady. That's not to say that this makes it a bad game, but I'm pretty sure that Doomguy isn't Jesus under the Praetor Suit.
Here's an example of a missed opportunity: the (holographic) holy king of Exultia tells the player-character that what you're doing is forbidden. If he instead warned that what you're doing is pointless, it could have been a fun reference to Ecclesiastes and King Solomon. He could also have identified the Doomguy as his descendant to enable the Messianic theories in this thread.

You can shoot the s— out of angels in the Bayonetta games.

Are the Makyrs not really angels though? The game describes their realm as 'heavenly'. I think that the the thrust of the game was some kind of edgy humanist "both heaven and hell are the bad guys" type of slant, to the extent that there is any real theme in Doom Eternal that is.

No. But they are undead in nature. They are necromancy alien energy vampires. Makyrs realm a simulation of heaven that designed to trap lost souls.

I haven't played the game myself but I've watched a let's play. It seems from the background dialogue that this is more or less the case. They are aliens who are allied with Satan, who is refereed to as "The Dark Lord" in a passing line of exposition. Hell provides them with souls form them to build their artificial heaven and they provide hell with worlds to conquer.
