DOOM: The Dark Ages, launching May 15th, aims for maximum accessibility. Unlike previous id Software titles, it boasts extensive customization options, a key focus for executive producer Marty Stratton. This commitment to broad appeal extends to gameplay adjustments.
Players can fine-tune enemy difficulty and damage, projectile speed and impact, and even broader game elements like pace, aggression, and parry timing. Importantly, Stratton confirmed the narrative is self-contained, requiring no prior DOOM experience to enjoy DOOM: The Dark Ages or DOOM: Eternal's storylines.
