Description             : Destroy demons in 31 action-packed levels;
                         Interception II is here.

                        Interception II is a Doom II community megawad spanning
                        three episodes with a secret level included. The levels
                        can get quite long, so check it out if you want a
                        megawad you can spend some time with.

                        After defeating Barbatos, you dive deep into
                        the demons' domain, an eldritch world where the rules
                        of our reality don't apply...

                        Shoot, blast, and double-punch your way through
                        otherworldly domains, abandoned space stations,
                        and the blood-soaked fields of Earth.


                         == THE STORY SO FAR ==
             Demons are invading Earth, and you are trapped in
             their dimension.

             After defeating Barbatos, you take the plunge into
             another world, hoping to destroy the very root of the
             invasion.

             You'll soon find, however, that the Realm of Souls
             does not tread lightly on the minds of the mortal...
