Medieval Mayhem Meets Modern Shooting in Doom’s Most Ambitious Campaign Yet
Doom: The Dark Ages delivers a fresh take on the legendary FPS formula, transporting players to a medieval-inspired hellscape. The Slayer’s new shield mechanics revolutionize combat, allowing for defensive blocks and devastating counters.
The 20+ hour campaign features the franchise’s most compelling narrative yet, exploring the Doom universe’s lore through human allies and cosmic horrors. Massive battlefields are filled with hundreds of demons, creating unprecedented chaos.
New abilities like the Captain America-style shield throw and charging bash attack compensate for removed movement options. Enemy weaknesses remain satisfying to exploit, though weapon-swapping demands are reduced from Eternal.
While the heavier movement takes adjustment, the expanded arsenal and tactical shield play create thrilling combat. The Dark Ages stands as both a worthy prequel and one of Doom’s most innovative entries.
