Doom The Dark Ages Starts on May 15 with Finds and Dragons

Doom: The Dark Ages, the next game of the series after 2020 Doom eternalIt comes in May and already looks like a cover of a heavy metal album that came to life before its planned release on May 15th.

ID Software developers have shown a visualization of the upcoming doom game and answered some questions at a digital visualization event on Tuesday. The team made it clear that the departure from the science fiction, which is known for the series, is not a recent solution to a more medieval fantasy environment.

“We wanted to do it (a medieval environment) from the beginning,” said Game Director Hugo Martin. “Fathers in the background of the background.”

Doom: The Dark Ages is a background of Doom from 2016 This explains what the main character did (talkatively known by fans like Doomguy) after the events of the original doom games released in the 90’s. The players learned how the Marine infantryman fighting demons in a Mars military base found himself in another dimension where he had been fighting hordes of monsters for centuries to become the legendary doom slayer, as the records found in The game. Dark Ages not only connects the franchise ages to the timeline, but also how it is played.

With the Doom Slayer ID Software gameplay, it adopted a slightly different approach than the more recent Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, where the speed was the name of the game. This time, Doom Slayer is like an iron tank and does nothing better than his Shield Saw.

A new tool in Slayer’s arsenal, Shield Saw is both for protection and attack. It can be used to parry enemy shells and attacks, and this money on attacks closely cause enemies to be stunned. When in the offensive, the jagged blades of the shield act like a motor saw, as the killer throws him into the body of a demon and tears his flesh. Then just like Captain America, the shield returns immediately. There is also an attacking attack in which the killer rushes into an enemy with a shield raised.

The killer still has an arsenal of weapons such as the emblematic rifle, but in the dark centuries it will also have access to a variety of melee weapons, including a spiked mace, an iron mushroom and an electrified glove that players can use against enemies. Everyone will have their own combinations and superstructures and will be used in Glory Kills, which are ultra -enno -color attacks that complete the stunned enemies. Developers say the new Glory Kill systems offer more smoothness to allow players to skip from one murder to another and their trigger does not interrupt the action.

The team also emphasized that stubble was more viable in the dark centuries. This emphasizes the topic that Slayer is a powerful beast instead of the quick acrobatics, which was the focus of restarting.

This slower pace may be one of the biggest changes for Doom, but there are also bigger ones-in one case quite literally, such as supplements of giant mech and cybernetic dragon that the player can use in the middle of the wrestling. The mechanism, called Atlan, is the size of a building and at certain points at a level, Slayer can jump and fight with giant demons. As for the dragon, it will also play a role in certain areas where the killer can fly with the Dragon to different floating urban areas. Both the mech and the dragon are only available at certain points in the game.

The inclusion of a mechanism and a dragon is also a growth in the game space of the game. Doom reboot there were many restrictive areas that created a claustrophobic feeling like the original doom game while Doom eternal Add more space for platform, but Dark Ages gives players more space to tear and pierce enemies.

Another innovation from the developers was the new difficulty system. Instead of just choosing between normal, difficult, very difficult or ridiculous difficult difficulties, the ID Software team added sliders to change different aspects of the game, such as enemies, the time window of parity and more. Not only does this offer a more challenge for hardcore Doom fans, it also makes the game more accessible to those who need to change certain mechanics to engage with them.

Hardcore fans may not be pleased that Dark Ages is only a campaign game without an online multiplayer plan. However, developers say Dark Ages is one of the biggest doom adventures and will be a long game, but not too long for fans-and there are plans to make a DLC for the game. S

Doom: The Dark Ages starts on the PS5, PC and Xbox Series consoles on May 15, will be priced at $ 70 and will be available on Day 1 for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
