The Doomsday Device is the main goal for the player to achieve in the whole game.
Overview[]
Evil Genius[]
Building a Doomsday Device is the ultimate goal of the player, which will grant your Evil Genius the means to subjugate the entire world to his/her will. When it is put in place and launched into space, everyone will be forced to submit to your authority, and no force on the entire planet will be able to stop your mastermind.
With the objective, Objective 6 - Road to Doomsday, when you steal the Codex of Knowledge and get a Mercenary Scientist to help you, the player will have three choices for the type of Doomsday Device satellite that you will use to successfully take over the world.
- ID Eliminator: This device will spread a chemical substance all over the world that will transform every man, woman, and child on the planet into Worker minions.
- Earthquake Beam: This orbital satellite weapon will shoot red beams onto the planet which will unleash earthquakes and cause widespread devastation over the world, unleashing real armageddon.
- Gravity Disruptor: The satellite will project beams from Earth to the moon, which will nullify the force of gravity and forcibly pull every citizen of the world into outer space.
As the player advances in the game, many Acts of Infamy will become available to you as part of the story objectives. Also, certain Agents of the Forces of Justice will come to your island base, giving you the chance to capture and interrogate them to provide valuable information regarding the construction of the Doomsday Device.
