In this thrilling review, IGN delves into the heart-pounding world of Doom: The Dark Ages, a game that dares to defy expectations set by its predecessor, Doom Eternal. With a bold departure from the norm, this installment offers players a grittier, more grounded experience, introducing a revolutionary shield mechanic that transforms the very essence of combat. Gone are the days of frivolous double jumps and quick dashes; instead, players are thrust into a relentless battle against hordes of demons, armed with strategic shield maneuvers that add a new layer of depth to the gameplay.
The Dark Ages plunges players into a dark sci-fi fantasy realm, exploring the intricate history of the conflict between humans and demons. The narrative unfolds with a tantalizing mix of hellish landscapes and Lovecraftian cosmic realms, setting the stage for an epic showdown of biblical proportions. As players navigate through the chaos, they are accompanied by human allies, adding a sense of camaraderie and intrigue to the storyline. The absence of the iconic chainsaw is compensated by a visceral melee system that encourages players to engage in up-close and personal combat, intensifying the adrenaline-fueled experience.
The game's arsenal receives a visual makeover while retaining its classic functionality, offering a diverse selection of weapons to suit every playstyle. From the combat shotgun to the plasma rifle, each weapon serves a purpose in the relentless fight against the forces of hell. The level design encourages exploration, with hidden secrets and challenging encounters waiting to be discovered. Mecha battles and dragon piloting sequences provide a refreshing break from the intense combat, adding a new dimension to the gameplay experience. And let's not forget the heavy metal soundtrack that serves as the perfect backdrop to the chaos unfolding on screen, immersing players in a world of blood, sweat, and bullets.
