Other games with "invasion" mode?
I had this idea ages ago when I was a teen playing Quake 3. But seems devs never really implemented it?

I played many FPS games. Never came across such a mode.

In FPS games, not sure.

In other genres, I believe Dark Souls has a similar mechanic.

Resident evil 6 has an invasion mode

Dying Light has something along those lines.

Check out alien swarm. There is either a first person mod or console command you can use for that. Plus it's free.

Here is another one free to play
Seems you don't understand the difinition of this game mode in Doom Eternal. It's multiplayer on a singleplayer campain that gives players control over NPCs.

In Doom you play the Doom Slayer killing AI controlled demons. But in multiplayer, so Invasion mode, some of the demons will be player controlled.

Though, I think the term "invasion" is off a bit. It should be "hunt", or "assasination" mode. An invasion is usually more than one person. Yeah, the AI demons invade. But the core difference is that the player controlled demons don't only invade. But also "hunt" or "assasinate" the player. I'm not aware that there are demons in Doom that do have a hunter AI. They are just glued to some part of the map and that's all. However, the players could move through out the entire map to hunt down the Doom Slayer.

Seems you don't understand what an alternative game is, yes and I do know the difference in modes, thx for that...

I don't own this game. Sounds odd though, that it's only during late game?

No, yoou can do it from the first half of a game. After you beat PVE main game several times you will be bored. But you can't be bored with invasions. Thats why some people have hundreds and thousands of hours in DS games. You can invade low level players in the early locations, you can invade high level, you can be invaded himself.

I just tried it. But it seems that it's one of those that don't even allow you to choose sides. LFD is the same. You never play as a zombie/monster?!

I think for a game mode being considered similar, you must have the choice between two sides. Just like in Doom Eternal. Natural Selection could be considered somewhat similar. Except that its map design is more multiplayer like, so match based, and not singleplayer like, so interconnected levels based like Doom Eternal.
