Doom: The Dark Ages | New gameplay details: ▫️ Influenced by the 'Batman Year One' and 'The Dark Knight' comics which returned Batman to his roots. ▫️ Shield Saw reacts differently depending on what it hits (flesh, armor, energy shield, etc). ▫️ The block button can be held down for a sort of 'lock-on' effect. ▫️ While locked on to an enemy, you can do a shield bash that charges your forward and closes distance. ▫️ Shield bash will be your main way of zipping around the battlefield since there's no double jump or dash. ▫️ You can also parry with the shield - game will have accessibility options to adjust parry windows + difficulty options. ▫️ You can also do a shield throw - this is also used for environmental puzzles like breaking chains. ▫️ Parry recharges melee > melee refills ammo. ▫️ Three melee weapons - Gauntlet (fast), Flail (medium), Mace (slow). ▫️ The Mace is slow and hard-hitting and also tops up all your resources. ▫️ Guns have a more medieval theme to them and less futuristic, even some returning weapons. ▫️ Levels are the biggest ever in DOOM and have a more sandbox feel. ▫️ "About an hour or so" per level is the sweet spot, but completionists can extend this. ▫️ A typical level will be broken up into 'acts' such as an interior dungeon area, then a more open area, etc. ▫️ id Software has wanted to put Atlans (mechs) in the game for 8 years - they've been teased in previous games. ▫️ The story will be more to the forefront this time - a departure from the previous games where it was mostly in text notes. ▫️ Releasing May 15th on PS5, Xbox, PC, and Xbox Game Pass.
