A medieval twist on demon-slaying mayhem
DOOM: The Dark Ages is an action game from id Software. Part of the Doom franchise, the installment is the prequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM and DOOM Eternal. Set in the medieval era, this first-person shooter offers an origin story that unravels the beginnings of the iconic DOOM Slayer.
Old world, new weapons
Much like its predecessors, DOOM: The Dark Ages focuses on fast-paced, brutal combat. This time, you take on the role of the DOOM Slayer before becoming what he is today. The game’s core mechanics remain faithful to the series — swift movement, precise shooting, and a plethora of deadly weapons.
What sets this game apart is its medieval setting, which introduces new weapons and combat styles inspired by the era. Expect everything from enchanted swords and crossbows to medieval variations of the franchise’s classic firearms, not to mention intense violence, blood, gore, and strong language unsuitable for younger players.
A gripping origin story
In DOOM: The Dark Ages, you get to play the iconic protagonist, DOOM Slayer, in his early days fighting demonic foes against the backdrop of a medieval war. The action-filled FPS retains the core elements that made the series a hit while introducing a refreshing medieval twist.
