DOOM: The Dark Ages Standard Edition

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel to DOOM (2016), set on Argent D'Nur before the Slayer became the Slayer, and it trades the aerial dance of Eternal for something heavier. There is no double jump. You stand and fight.

The Shield Saw is the centre of it: a buzzsaw shield that blocks, parries projectiles back where they came from, and can be thrown to cut through a crowd and return. Melee runs through a gauntlet, a mace and a flail, and the guns lean industrial rather than sci-fi. For the first time the series hands you vehicles — a cybernetic dragon for aerial combat and the Atlan, a building-sized mech that fights demons its own size. Glory kills return, retuned for the slower rhythm. The story gets more room than previous entries, with cutscenes covering the Slayer's origins and the war against the Maykrs. Single-player only, with no multiplayer or co-op.

The Standard Edition is the full campaign, and it includes the Void Slayer skin. The Revelations story expansion is not included. Keys activate on Steam or Xbox.
