The goal of the shooter's development is to make it as widely accessible as possible. Compared to earlier id Software projects, DOOM: The Dark Ages will offer a great deal more customization. The studio aimed to make the game accessible to as many people as possible, according to executive producer Marty Stratton.
Players will have the ability to tailor their experience extensively, adjusting not only the enemies' difficulty and damage but also the speed of projectiles, the amount of damage they take, and other elements such as the game's tempo, aggression level, and parry time. This level of customization ensures that players of all skill levels can enjoy DOOM: The Dark Ages at their preferred pace and challenge.
Stratton also assured fans that the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal can be understood independently, meaning players don't need to have played DOOM: The Dark Ages to follow the storyline of DOOM: Eternal.
