Prepare for an adrenaline-fueled assault! With its iconic, roaring soundtrack and endless hordes of demons to decimate, Doom: The Dark Ages has quickly cemented its place as one of the greatest first-person shooters of all time. For any enthusiast who thrives on the visceral thrill of ‘ripping and tearing’ through Hell’s fiercest warriors, this latest installment feels like a magnificent culmination of everything that makes the series legendary. It delivers some of the most exciting and brutal action the franchise has ever offered. And if you’ve yet to experience this masterpiece, now’s your perfect opportunity, as it’s currently available at its lowest price ever.
From the very first moment, when I effortlessly shredded a demon in half with a chainsaw-toothed shield, it was clear that Doom: The Dark Ages would stand out as a top action game. While it embraces a more cinematic narrative, this never compromises the sheer intensity of the Doomslayer’s formidable arsenal, instead weaving a far more engaging and intriguing story into the relentless combat.
This incredible title is currently available for just $40.59 / £40.59, marking its lowest price point ever and a substantial 42% discount off the usual retail cost. This limited-time offer makes it the perfect moment to dive into the action.
Serving as a prequel to the acclaimed 2016 Doom, The Dark Ages maintains the Doomslayer’s unwavering contempt for Hell. It delves into the brutal war between the Night Sentinels of D’Argent D’Nur and Prince Ahzrak’s demonic legions. Here, the Doomslayer is dispatched to aid against the infernal forces, yet finds himself under the control of the Maykrs, serving as a mere weapon rather than an agent of his own free will.
With Prince Ahzrak relentlessly pursuing the Heart of Argent, an artifact of immense power, your mission as a one-man army is to utterly demolish any of Hell’s forces that dare stand in your path. The Doomslayer’s arsenal is fearsome, including a formidable shield that can be charged into enemies or hurled for a devastating ranged attack. Your only limit is your demon-killing imagination, ensuring this installment ranks among the most brutal experiences in PC gaming.
While maintaining the signature ‘rip-and-tear’ essence expected from any exceptional Doom title, The Dark Ages offers a distinct feel compared to Doom Eternal. Where Eternal emphasized unrelenting speed and chaotic combat, The Dark Ages leans into a more deliberate, intentional brand of violence. Both approaches are brilliant, and as one review aptly noted, it remains ‘Doom at its rip-tearing best, proving once more why id is the grandfather of the FPS genre.’
Truly, there has never been a better moment to immerse yourself in this incredible first-person shooter. With its price slashed to just $40.59 / £40.59, representing a massive 42% off, it’s an unparalleled deal. If your idea of a ‘horror game’ involves being the monster rather than fleeing from it, then Doom: The Dark Ages perfectly captures the sensation of embodying the most feared entity in existence.
While many of us eagerly await news of another new Doom game on the horizon, a fresh playthrough of Doom: The Dark Ages, perhaps on a higher difficulty, is always a compelling option. For those who prefer a more narrative-driven experience, many excellent action-adventure games offer similar non-stop thrills with a greater cinematic focus.
While we don’t expect you to physically fight the forces of Hell, we do encourage you to connect with our vibrant community.
