DOOM: The Dark Ages Introduces Demon Aggression Settings

The goal of the development of DOOM: The Dark Ages is to make the game as widely accessible as possible. In a significant departure from earlier id Software projects, this new installment offers a high degree of customization. According to executive producer Marty Stratton, the studio's aim was to cater to a broad audience by allowing players to tailor their gaming experience extensively.

Players will have the ability to adjust not only the difficulty and damage of enemies but also the speed of projectiles, the amount of damage they receive, and other critical elements such as the game's tempo, aggression level, and parry timing. This level of customization ensures that DOOM: The Dark Ages can be enjoyed by gamers of all skill levels.

Stratton also emphasized that the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and its predecessor, DOOM: Eternal, are designed to be comprehensible even for those who haven't played the former. This approach ensures that newcomers can dive into the story without feeling lost.
