About this game

How it plays

DOOM: The Dark Ages pulls the series backward in time to show how the Slayer became the Slayer, and it trades some of Eternal’s mid-air platforming acrobatics for something heavier and more grounded. You’re still doing the thing DOOM does best: closing distance on demons and tearing through them with a shotgun in one hand and rage in the other. The Shield Saw is the new signature toy here, a melee and utility piece that gives you options beyond just shooting your way out of a room. Big set-piece moments have you piloting a Mecha Dragon or stomping around in an Atlan mech, which breaks up the on-foot combat with something closer to controlled chaos on a larger scale. The glory kill system returns, reworked to keep executions feeling brutal without stalling the pace. It’s a single-player campaign built around castles, battlefields, and hellscapes rather than sprawling open zones, and there’s a difficulty system flexible enough that newcomers to the franchise aren’t thrown in at the deep end.

Who it’s for

If you liked the 2016 reboot or Eternal and want the story of how the Slayer got his reputation, this is squarely built for you. It also works as an entry point for people who’ve never played a DOOM game but like fast, physical shooters with a strong power fantasy at the center. The medieval-meets-sci-fi setting gives it a different flavor than the more frantic, gymnastic combat of Eternal, so if what you loved about that game was the aerial juggling and combo puzzles, know that this one leans more toward standing your ground and slugging it out. Skip it if you’re after a slow, tactical shooter or something with multiplayer as the main draw. This is a story-first, single-player ride.

Is it worth it?

For anyone who enjoys big, cinematic single-player shooters, this is the kind of game that earns its keep just on the strength of its combat feel and production values, and this Premium Edition stacks a fair amount on top of the base campaign: the Revelations campaign DLC, an artbook and soundtrack for people who like that kind of behind-the-scenes material, and a cosmetic skin pack tying the Slayer, dragon, and Atlan together. If you already know you want the extra content and the DLC, bundling it into one purchase is more convenient than buying pieces separately later. Games like this, with a strong single-player campaign and a following built on two well-regarded predecessors, tend to hold their value well, so waiting for a sale on the Premium Edition specifically is a reasonable way to get the extras without paying full freight upfront.
