DOOM: The Dark Ages Introduces Demon Aggression Settings

The goal of the shooter's development for DOOM: The Dark Ages is to ensure it reaches as broad an audience as possible. Unlike earlier projects by id Software, this installment will feature significantly more customization options. Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasized the studio's commitment to making the game accessible to everyone.

Players will have the ability to customize a wide range of elements, including the difficulty and damage output of enemies, the speed of projectiles, the amount of damage they receive, and other aspects such as the game's tempo, aggression level, and parry timing. This level of customization ensures that players can tailor their experience to suit their preferences.

Stratton also assured fans that the storylines of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal can be fully understood without having played DOOM: The Dark Ages. This approach makes the game welcoming to both new players and long-time fans of the series.
