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 ensures a wider player base can enjoy the game.
Players will have granular control, adjusting enemy difficulty, damage output, projectile speed, player damage, and even pacing elements like aggression and parry timing.
Importantly, Stratton confirmed that the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal are independently understandable, eliminating the need to play one to comprehend the other.
