The goal behind the development of DOOM: The Dark Ages is to make the game as accessible and widely available as possible. According to executive producer Marty Stratton, this latest installment from id Software will feature significantly more customization options than previous projects. The studio aims to cater to a broad audience, ensuring that players can tailor their experience to their preferences.
Players will have the ability to adjust various aspects of the game, 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 is designed to enhance player engagement and satisfaction.
Stratton also emphasized that the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and its predecessor, DOOM: Eternal, are crafted to be comprehensible even to those who have not played DOOM: The Dark Ages. This approach ensures that new players can jump right into the story without feeling lost.
