Doom: The Dark Ages

Gameabout 20 hours

Long before the 2016 game, the Slayer is the Maykrs' weapon on Argent D'Nur, a world at war with Hell. Prince Ahzrak leads Hell's armies against the Night Sentinels, the knights who defend it, and the Slayer is sent wherever the line is breaking. It's a medieval spin on Doom, with a shield saw, a flail and a cybernetic dragon to ride.

  • Comes beforeDoom: The Dark Ages - Revelations

    Takes place once The Dark Ages' campaign is over, in the gap before the 2016 game. It assumes you've seen the main game's ending, so play that first.
