DOOM: The Dark Ages

DOOM: The Dark Ages returns the iconic demon-slaying franchise to a brutal, medieval-inspired realm. Set before the events of DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, players step into the boots of the Slayer during humanity’s dark age—a time of war, steel, and blood. In a world ravaged by both ancient magics and hellish technology, players wield deadly weapons like bone-crushing flails and demon-forged swords. The gothic architecture and eldritch horrors amplify the atmosphere, making every encounter a heart-pounding experience. This installment pushes the franchise’s signature speed and aggression while embedding rich lore and medieval fantasy elements.

Story & Gameplay Overview

The game follows the Slayer as he rises from warrior to legend, battling across cursed citadels, plague-ridden wastelands, and twisted hellscapes. His purpose? To destroy the growing influence of Hell on Earth long before the modern UAC’s time. The gameplay keeps the frenetic pace DOOM is known for, introducing a mounted siege engine and spell-powered gauntlets, while maintaining the core FPS roots. Power-ups, glory kills, and heavy metal still pulse through every battle. With a deeper progression system, arena-style battles, and lore-driven quests, the experience offers both intensity and immersion.
