In IGN's recent hands-on experience with Doom the Dark Ages, players are thrown into a whirlwind of demon-slaying mayhem unlike anything seen before. From wielding a Shield to slice through enemies with finesse to piloting a massive Mecca Slayer, the game offers a diverse range of combat options that keep adrenaline levels soaring. The introduction of a new standing-and-fighting combat principle, centered around the Shield, adds a layer of strategy and intensity to the gameplay, requiring players to master timing and positioning to emerge victorious in battles against Satan's minions.
The Mecca Slayer segment delivers intense, Kaiju-sized combat with powerful punches and a colossal machine gun, offering a taste of the sheer carnage players can expect in the game. Riding a cybernetic Dragon adds a thrilling aerial dimension to the battles, as players take on Hell carrier airships and unleash devastation from the skies. The sandbox levels, like The Siege, provide a dynamic and immersive experience, allowing players to explore, upgrade weapons, and face diverse challenges at their own pace.
Doom the Dark Ages promises an accessible yet exhilarating gameplay experience, with multiple difficulty settings and customizable options to tailor the adventure to individual preferences. With a release date set for May 15th on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox series XS, fans of the series can look forward to a heart-pounding journey through the darkest depths of demon-infested realms. Get ready to rip and tear your way through hordes of enemies in what could be the most epic and action-packed Doom game to date.
