Our Doom The Dark Ages guide has the essential information and advice you need to get through the Doom Slayer's prequel campaign. Taking place long before even the events of Doom 2016, The Dark Ages puts you into the thick of the Night Sentinel's world-hopping war against the demonic forces Hell. That obviously means it's not a sequel to Doom Eternal, which we reckon is one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best FPS games you can play right now, and plays quite differenꦑtly as a result. Where Eternal was all about speed, The Dark Ages is (slightly) s💞lower, focusing more on strafing and defense, much more like the 1993 title that started it all.

However, as one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games of 2025, Doom The Dark Ages still feels fresh and is far fr🦋om simple. Doomguy now brings a shield into battle that's vital for parrying ferocious demon attacks to get the upper hand. There are also some wildly varied levels featuring the expected demon-infested hellholes and facilities, but also massive open battlefields, cyber dragon flights, and battles in the colossal Atlan mech. But pretty much every level is also fill🅺ed with secrets to uncover and resources to gather to upgrade your gear in this crusade.

There's a lot to bear in mind when playing Doom The Dark Ages then, from new shield-based abilities to hidden treasures scattered throughout the game's chapters. Thankfully, we've got you covered withꦬ all of our Doom The Dark Ages guides, including tips and tricks for combat, help regarding the best weಞapons and upgrades, and pointers for finding some of the more elusive secrets.
