Since the recent Xbox showcase ended, everyone has been eyeing what id Software has cooked up withDoom: The Dark Ages. Bringing what looks to be a medieval flavor into the modern games’ formula, the game’s trailer has dazzled almost all gaming circles, with people now eagerly awaiting its arrival.
Adding fuel to the already blazing fire of excitement, the game’s creative director recently shared some tantalizing details about the game’s mechanics, particularly the signature gory kills that have become a staple of theDoomseries. This revelation has sent the anticipation for the game’s release skyrocketing, promising an even more intense and thrilling experience than the series’ past entries.
Doom: The Dark Ages Will Let You Glory Kill Every Single Enemy in Your Path
The upcomingDoomgame is set to introduce a staggering array ofnew weapons and mechanics, setting it apart from its predecessors. From the exhilarating experience of piloting a mech to riding a pet jet wyvern, the game is pushing the boundaries on what the word ‘metal’ means for the series.

One thing that remains unchanged, though, is the series’ glory kills, the mechanic that allows players to instantly destroy the enemy in a spectacularly brutal fashion. WhileDoom Eternaladded a mechanical finesse to the kills, it was still limited in functionality as you couldn’t perform glory kills against Hell Troopers, Lost Souls, Turrets, and Spirits.
However, the creative director behindThe Dark Ages has hinted at the possibility of removing all limitations surrounding Glory Kills, meaning that you can rip and tear apart every enemy in the game, perhaps including the bosses too.

Admittedly, this would be a near-perfect addition to the series’ gameplay depth, allowing for even more frantic action and twitch-reflex combat. The best part is that this is just one of the many new additions the game brings to the table.
