The goal of the development team behind DOOM: The Dark Ages is to ensure the game reaches as many players as possible. Compared to previous projects by id Software, this installment offers significantly more customization options. Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasized the studio's commitment to making the game accessible to a wide audience.
Players will have the ability to adjust numerous aspects of the gameplay experience, including enemy difficulty and damage, projectile speed, the amount of damage they receive, and other elements such as the game's tempo, aggression level, and parry timing. This level of customization allows players to tailor the experience to their preferred style of play.
Stratton also assured fans that the storylines of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal can be fully understood without needing to play DOOM: The Dark Ages first, making it easier for new players to jump into the series.
