DOOM: The Dark Ages features customizable gameplay sliders

The upcoming game, DOOM: The Dark Ages, will feature customizable difficulty settings using sliders. This allows players to adjust the game's intensity to match their skill levels. Whether players are new to the DOOM series or looking for a less intense experience, these options will cater to a variety of preferences. Recently, some fans criticized the game, dubbing it the "Woke Ages." This backlash came from concerns over the ease of gameplay. Game Director Hugo Martin addressed these worries in a video, stating that the purpose of the difficulty sliders is to balance the game for all players. He explained that both casual players and veterans should enjoy the game, whether they want a challenge or not. Martin emphasized that the sliders can enhance the gameplay experience in unique ways. Players can experiment with different combinations of settings, leading to both easier and more challenging scenarios. For example, slowing down projectiles while increasing their strength can create a tougher challenge. The director likened the sliders to an equalizer on a radio. He believes this feature will boost the game's replayability. Players may want to explore various configurations to discover new gameplay styles. DOOM: The Dark Ages is set to release on May 15th, and many are eager to try out the new settings.
