Call it a Classic Doom-like.

That's basically reverting back to calling games "DOOM clones".

That’s basically reverting back to calling games “DOOM clones”.

Calling something like Amid Evil with its spectacular map architecture a mere Doom clone does it a disservice, though, because Doom closes were basically flat and had 90° walls. Descent and Quake 1 aren't clones of Doom either.
