🔥 DOOM: THE DARK AGES REVIEW – MEDIEVAL MAYHEM NEVER FELT THIS GOOD! 🔥

The Short Verdict: DOOM: The Dark Ages is a blood-pumping, skull-crushing masterpiece that reinvents the franchise with brutal melee combat, jaw-dropping set pieces, and enough demon-slaying to make the Doom Slayer proud. 9.5/10 – Rip and Tear, Medieval Style!

⚔️ WHAT IS DOOM: THE DARK AGES?

Imagine DOOM Eternal had a baby with Dark Souls—then gave it a flaming battleaxe and dropped it into a demon-infested medieval hellscape. You play as the Doom Slayer (yes, that Doom Slayer), but this time, you’re tearing through hordes of hellspawn in a gothic, war-torn world where castles crumble, dragons roar, and every weapon feels like it was forged in the depths of the underworld.

🎮 GAMEPLAY – BRUTAL, FAST, AND FRESH

This isn’t just DOOM with a armor reskin. The Dark Ages evolves the formula with:

✔ Savage Melee Combat: Swords, axes, maces—finally, the Doom Slayer gets up close and personal. The executions are gorier than ever.
✔ New Weapons, Same Chaos: The Siege Crossbow impales demons to walls, the Hellforged Flail smashes skulls, and yes, the Super Shotgun still exists (and it’s glorious).
✔ Destructible Environments: Knock down towers, collapse bridges, and send enemies flying into spike pits. The battlefield is your weapon.

❌ Minor Nitpick: The platforming sections can feel a little clunky compared to Eternal’s fluidity.

👹 DEMONS, DRAGONS, AND DESTRUCTION

The enemy designs are next-level terrifying. From armored hell knights to giant siege beasts, every fight feels like an epic boss battle. And yes, there are dragons—and you can ride them.

🏰 STORY & ATMOSPHERE – DOOM MEETS DARK FANTASY

The lore is deeper than expected, with a war-torn kingdom, fallen paladins, and a shocking twist involving the Doom Slayer’s past. The soundtrack? A symphony of metal and Gregorian chants that will make you feel like a one-man crusade.

🚨 FINAL THOUGHTS: ONE OF THE BEST DOOM GAMES EVER

DOOM: The Dark Ages proves the franchise still has unlimited rage left in the tank. It’s fast, furious, and packed with enough new ideas to feel fresh while staying true to its roots.

🔥 SCORE: 9.5/10 🔥
PLAY IT. SLAY IT. WORSHIP IT LIKE A DEMON-GOD.
