You're right, it is based. My obligatory Doom RPG post for those who still haven't played it:
Carmack wrote the engine (over a weekend, if I recall correctly. He said he decided to finally check out gaming on cell phones and found them incredibly lame so decided to make something himself) and it was clearly inspired by the type of predominantly Western classic first person dungeon crawler PC RPGs that Carmack had played back in the day. He said he decided to go with the style he did as a way to design within the limitations of the platform instead of making a shitty half assed platformer that plays like shit or whatever.

There were 5 using the engine. Doom RPG, Doom II RPG, Wolfenstein RPG and Orcs & Elves 1 and 2, an original traditional fantasy IP made for the engine.

You can find all the iD RPG games and an emulator to play them here. I run them on my Android phone with J2ME Loader and it works great. There's an onscreen keypad for the buttons. If you want to play on PC just use the Windows version of J2ME Loader.

All the iD RPG games are in this archive:

Also, Doom II RPG had an exclusive black and white comic book tie-in. You can read it here:

Yes, that's all, the game itself is supposed to be the continuation of the story. Doom II RPG is actually the only official DOOM game that allows you to play as characters other than Doom Guy, besides the expansion to Doom 3, where you play as some other nameless marine. You can choose the female officer, a guy that is basically Doom Guy but not, or a scientist, each start with different stats.

This is what it looks like on my Android phone, you can customize the layout of the on screen keys. I just use the default.

I use my Android phone to play them, using an app called J2ME Loader. Those games are just on a single java file and you just load it in and play. Here is what it looks like on my phone with virtual touchscreen keypad.

All of the iD RPGs, Doom RPG, Doom II RPG, Wolfenstein RPG and Orcs and Elves 1 and 2 are all found in this archive:

Playing it on Android or PC is exactly like using an emulator to run a rom. Not sure about actually buying an old phone and putting it on there, I am sure they keypad would be nice but I can't deal with those tiny shitty screens, J2ME allows you to play in a much bigger screen than originally possible with these games.
