Doom: The Dark Ages review  id Software gets medieval in a dramatic rewrite of the shooter's rules
"The Dark Ages empowers players to obliterate dozens of demons simultaneously, shifting the focus from fast-paced evasion to a grounded, powerful combat experience."
"Empowering most enemies to shoot slow-moving projectiles creates vibrant, interdimensional battlefields filled with energy and strategy as players navigate through hazards."
The Dark Ages presents a significant departure from its predecessors in the Doom franchise. Unlike Doom Eternal's fast-paced and evasive gameplay, this prequel prioritizes a more grounded approach to combat. Players can overwhelm groups of enemies with sheer power rather than tactical shooting. The return to projectiles as a core mechanic invites strategic navigation of colorful, chaotic battlefields. The player's character, the Doom Slayer, embodies a heavier, more imposing presence, using shields for defense and timing to counterattack effectively while engaging in brutal melee maneuvers against onslaughts of demons.
