Whenever I think about MooseI imagine running through the corpses filled with the wilderness, throwing a shotgun in the forehead of demons and finding humorous toys between chaos. It is macabre, bloody and satisfying, especially when you expect brutality and you are still shocked by how much it is.
I expected the same Doom: The Dark EgesKnowing it’s a prequel Doom 2016 AND Eternal. Although I am not strictly familiar with the franchise, but briefly playing the title 2016 before moving to Dark agesI still eagerly jumped into hell and felt like a overwhelmed war machine.
It all began
Doom: The Dark Eges is a prequel Doom 2016 AND Eternal, Moving us back to medieval times, when the demonic hordes began to invade Argent d’Our for the first time. Soon after Dark ages“Introduction, you will already meet with a bloodshed as a hell of the corpse, the fire spreads through Argent d’our, and Maykr observes, expecting the arrival of Slayer’s extermination soon.
There is no beating around the bush when it comes to showing the chaos and violence spreading on the planet. Less than a minute passed to get involved in the events that develop before me when I was looking forward to the appearance of our hero.
Dark ages It is dark, rough and full of guts everywhere. You don’t have time to relax when you set your foot on the battlefield, shotgun and shield in your hand and you look at how the world surrounds itself. It is completely clear that you are the only one who can stop these raging demons, and you will continue to prove that by pointing the gun on their head and you will paint the planet in red.
Now we hit and let go through the enemies
If you played in the previous ones Moose Games, you will be more than known for their brutal nature, when you break the enemies, break the limbs and blow them into millions of pieces with weapons. Even with my limited game time Doom 2016I got used to it without blinking. Don’t worry – it is still a lot to circumvent this title.
Something about seeing this Dark ages The modern, detailed appearance makes it more graphic in a shocking but satisfying way. The introduction of mechanics, such as the saw saw and massive moss battles to the mixture, provides even more fascinating experience that I liked more than I expected. If you are looking for pistols you used in previous games, don’t worry, a few of them also return. A great shotgun is still my favorite weapon, but oh, boy, there are others equally funny.
In the case of a game that requires the destruction of enemies with any weapon at your disposal, including the most powerful fists and legs that someone could ever ask for, the fight still seems relatively simple and easy to pick up. Instead of asking if there is a way to grow an additional hand to improve to change between weapons, everything is focused in several keys, facilitating switching pistols, parry and jumping without overwhelming. After all, what is the fun of watching, how did a dozen demon cut the shield if you are too focused on determining control from two chapters ago?
Where Dark ages It begins to deviate, it is in slower traffic than previous titles. You can still run quickly, but you will naturally feel more like a powerful, armored character than an agile killer. If you like speed, you can see it as a minus, but I was a fan of this change.
Having an extermination Slayer will be a large, paving guy with strokes strong enough to break everything, and some of the most brutal glory kill in the history of games, not someone who can fly at his speed through the map is something that I learned to appreciate. Although it is easy to want faster shoes if the mission is linear, Dark ages It seems to be much more open structures with its chapters, allowing you to discover freely and learn more about your surroundings.
The volume of enemies at each level is a completely different matter. For some, it can become overwhelming and difficult to manage. At the beginning it was the same for me. After getting used to the devil, well, to the hell, it turned into an exciting adventure that tested my survival and shooting skills. These overwhelming feelings quickly turned into satisfaction and admiration when I learned the strong and weakness of my weapon and buried the update options to make the already overwhelmed hero even stronger.
Doom: The Dark Eges It is the first game in years that pumped my adrenaline thanks to the exciting Strzelce and detailed visualization. This sentiment increased only with every passing chapter, when I experienced a different gameplay mechanics, from controlling a massive mech to flying to the dragon. Having metal music while blowing up enemies from existence makes you feel extremely overwhelmed, especially when you play as Doomguy yourself. In each mission there is a lot of diversity of demons, and more appears in each chapter as ordinary enemies and bosses, which makes the challenge even more visible and pleasant.
There is more of it in this than shooting weapons
I will leave and say: secrets belong to my favorite functions of each game. I am for picking up a double barrel shotgun and blow up the demon’s face, but sometimes I like to deviate from a whipped path to find out what else is in the world except blood and chaos. In the first mission you will quickly discover that there is more than monsters attacking the planet in this world.
Dark ages It is full of secrets. From small, hidden rooms that have a complaint, to the return of toy figurines during your missions, in this hellish landscape there is more than the fight against without end enemies. Sure, fighting with hordes monster is the majority of your game in the truly Moose Spirit, but you will have a chance to relax and reveal at every level if you want. If you are more player and gun, at least you also have it as an option. Otherwise, Dark ages He will reward you with knowledge and other surprises for your efforts.
Strategy is my second favorite part of games. Initially, I did not expect that I needed many strategies Dark ages And mainly I planned shooting from a shotgun until I finished the game, just to realize how much strategic potential exists for higher difficulties. Each type of weapon has advantages and disadvantages that work in certain circumstances, and learning to master them all is the key to survival. You can absolutely escape from favoring one or two types of weapons if you are good enough, remaining alive, but if you want to master this game, you must learn them. This level of strategy was not something I expected, but I have enjoyed it since I unlocked the first few pistols.
Doom: The Dark Eges I was completely reminded of how frigid it is to run, blow up enemies and try a weapon that you will never see in other games. This puts hell in the ball, except that you throw away missiles, and demons are those who try to survive, continuing their attack. Being the most powerful slayer in the world has never been so good.
