Doom Goes Medieval (But Remains Just as Wild)
The Doom Slayer has traded his futuristic armor for medieval armor, but his thirst for demonic destruction remains intact. Doom: The Dark Ages transports the saga's characteristic chaos to a gothic setting where bullets coexist with swords and shields with built-in chainsaws. Because when it comes to massacring demons, any era will do.
"From futuristic hell to medieval hell: same chaos, different decoration"
New Tools for an Ancestral Massacre
The Doom Slayer's arsenal has received a historical update:
- Shield-saw: For cutting, throwing, and swinging like a berserker
- Maces and gauntlets: When punches are more effective than bullets
- Dragons and mechs: Because sometimes you have to think big
A Hell with Better Interior Design
IdTech 8 has given the scenarios and enemies a spectacular facelift:
- Textures that would make a Renaissance artist cry
- Lighting effects that turn every level into a visual nightmare
- Demons with more detail than a demonology treatise
Combat That Would Make a Medieval Knight Blush
The combat system mixes the best of the saga with surprising novelties:
- Enemies with shields that heat up when taking damage
- Force fields that require strategy to break
- Improved mobility to turn every fight into a choreography of destruction
Doom: The Dark Ages proves that some things never change: the demons will continue to be massacred, the scenarios will keep burning, and we will keep enjoying the chaos. The only difference is that now there will be more blood... and probably some burning castle in the background. 🔥
