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 includes adjusting enemy difficulty, damage output, projectile speed, player damage, and even gameplay elements like tempo, aggression, and parry timing.
Stratton assures players that the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal are independently understandable.
