Doom: The Dark Ages revolutionizes the iconic Doom franchise by introducing a medieval setting and innovative melee mechanics. With the new Shield Saw, players can block, parry, and attack enemies in thrilling ways, enriching the gameplay experience. The game beautifully blends its aesthetic reminiscent of King Arthur with heavy metal soundtracks, creating a unique vibe that complements the intense action. The addition of parrying glowing attacks offers rewarding gameplay that keeps players engaged, making this title a standout in the series and a fresh take on first-person shooters.
Parrying glowing green attacks adds another fun test of reflexes. It's easy to execute thanks to a generous parry window, rewarding an additional hit as you send projectiles back to their receivers.
The biggest and best change is the Shield Saw, a motorized serrated shield that lets players block and parry incoming attacks, brilliantly implemented and enhancing gameplay.
Doom: The Dark Ages offers perhaps the biggest and most impressive shake-up of the series' tried and true formula, incorporating visceral, parry-focused melee combat.
While it's a terrific aesthetic that perfectly complements the heavy metal soundtrack, the backdrop primarily serves as an excuse to add neat middle-age twists to the Slayer's classic arsenal.
