While some people may say Alphatius 2 is a total conversion for the Doom Engine, it's so much more than that. Using Q-Zandronum, a fork of Zandronum with improved netcode, Alphatius 2 creates a unique arena shooter experience similar to, but far from, Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament. However, where other attempts to revive the genre fall short, Alphatius 2 freshens up the arena shooter scene with new abilities, weapons with Alternate fire modes, a unique ammo system, never-before-seen maps, and more!

- 7 Weapons, each with its own Alternate Fire mode, found throughout the maps.
- A unique loadout system that allows players choose their starting weapon and their abilities.
- 5 Travel abilities, allowing players to quickly evade attacks, or traverse the map more quickly.
- 6 Action abilities to aid in combat. These range from decoys, bouncing energy discs, healing zones, forcefields, or even laser cannons!
- 6 Passive abilities that help encourage players and their unique playstyles.
- 20 unique maps; 14 deathmatch maps for fraggy fun, and 6 duel maps for some more serious competition.
- 32 different Weapon Modifiers, that allow players to swap the functionality of their weapons.
- A unique ammo system: Weapon energy recharges after a few seconds of "trigger discipline".
- 4 unique pickups to aid in battle, most of which revolve around the new mechanics.
- A built-in tutorial to teach new players how to play, and an additional Firing Range map to test out weapons and abilities.
