DOOM Dark Ages Hype is Real!
The first hands-on previews for DOOM: The Dark Ages have arrived, and the consensus is clear — this might be the most “DOOM-like” entry yet, even surpassing the previous two installments. One of the most anticipated games of the year, DOOM: The Dark Ages introduces exciting new mechanics like a shield and parry system, rideable giant mechs, and even a dragon you can mount. Despite these medieval-fantasy additions, the game stays true to the fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled combat that defines the series while pushing its gameplay even further.
According to initial reviews, the shield is not just a defensive tool — it can parry, block, and even be thrown across arenas to devastating effect. It also adds a layer of strategy by being useful in solving environmental puzzles. As expected, the weapon variety and impact remain some of the game’s strongest elements, ensuring that The Dark Ages retains the franchise’s signature power fantasy.
