DOOM: The Dark Ages will allow players to make demons less aggressive in the settings

id Software aims to make DOOM: The Dark Ages the most accessible entry in the franchise yet. Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasized a commitment to broad accessibility, surpassing the customization options available in previous id Software titles.

Players will enjoy extensive control over gameplay difficulty, adjusting enemy damage, projectile speed, and player damage. Further customization options include modifying the game's overall pace, aggression levels, and parry timings.

Stratton confirmed that DOOM: The Dark Ages' narrative is self-contained, ensuring players can appreciate the story without prior experience with the game. Understanding DOOM: Eternal's plot is similarly independent.
