DOOM THE DARK AGES 1994

ANDROIDFERRET

Here’s the video

Three weeks. It took the community, in this case DIEGO SLAYER XII only 3 weeks to create this new Dark Ages vanilla styled weapons mod. What do I mean by vanilla styled? Do you remember Doom Eternal Vanilla? Basically these original weapons of dark ages but pixelated and turned into sprites which look kinda similar to what doom 2 sprites look like. The mod comes with a few weapons like the skullcrusher, plasmarifle, BFG equivalent and throwable shield (a few more I do not know the name of) And the developer told me there’s much more to come soon. I think he mentioned something like “custom enemies”. But not sure.

I definitely think this mod has potential to become something absolutely amazing. With a little bit more work when it comes to bullet/projectile/gun alignment as well as the maze getting a real chain maybe or a less stiff animation this mod has no reason to hide behind big alternatives like EOA or similar. (I know that’s eternal but who are we kidding. EOA Def will get a new D.A. version)

So ..that’s it. Hope you all have fun playing. Link for the mod is in the description of my YouTube video. Have fun watching!

i think DOOM DARK AGES is kinda lameee

DanilReal true. I won’t buy it either. I think 80 bucks is insane for a u’re Singleplayer game with I think always online requirement? But even if not. It’s only a Singleplayer game with again strange mechanics. That parry system.. damn. What where they thinking? I don’t wanna play traffic light all day. First they turned out a goofy ass colorful jump n run fest ( eternal) then this..

When 2016 came out I thought damn.. the new doom age looks amazing and will be the absolute best what FPS gaming has to offer. And then .. eternal. Haven’t played it yet. And I guess I won’t. It’s just not for me. Dark ages? Man I was so hyped.. until I heard parry system, tank movement, no real glory kills ..

I mean. The last one could be amazing.i heard you can now slice through demons like you could in that one metal gear game with the sword fighting cyborg.

But hey. The mods for DOOM2 will be absolutely amazing. Like EOA, SLAYERS TESTAMENT for quake, or DEAD ASCENSION were with eternal/d2016.

I think my PC could handle Doom 2016 geimu, so I could pirate this game and play that soon. Doom 2016 looks fairly fine to me, I really like the Doom 4 Doom mod so far even though it got rid of a lot of upgrade options compared to other Doom 2016 based mods for GZDoom which have more singular upgrades. I think it’s embers of armageddon mod which have different upgrade system. Though for some stupid reason the D4D mod uses doom guy hand sprites instead of doom slayer which is a odd choice if you ask me.

I am not really fond of Doom the dark ages weapon design, for example the new chaingun weapon is something with a multi barrel that uses skull as a ammo? I think I may give Doom Eternal a try too if there is at least a mod that removes the stupid gimmick that monsters needs to be killed in a specific way which is a really dumb design decision if you ask me.

Honestly I am rather glad i could experience new doom stuff on GZDoom. and GZDoom sort of works well on old machine despite the authors of GZDoom often say that you need a modern machine to run this source port. GZDoom doesn’t even offer many fancy graphical stuff out of the box compared to Quake source ports who come out with very good lightning systems.

Still GZDoom is my go to source port because there is no other source port that even comes close to all the features that GZDoom offers.
