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 pacing elements like aggression and parry timing.
Stratton confirmed the narrative of DOOM: The Dark Ages is standalone, understandable even without prior DOOM: Eternal experience.
