Doom: The Dark Ages review id Software gets medieval in a dramatic rewrite of the shooter's rules
Briefly

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.
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.
