What about armor? Well, the new flamethrower causes demons to explode in a shower of armor picks upon death. Need more ammo? Time to whip out the chainsaw. To acquire more health, use a melee finisher. Instead, players now must rely on their tools to replenish resources. Though you’ll still find the random health or armor pickup around arenas, they’re incredibly sparse. In Doom, arenas not only focused on how to battle demons but also how you maneuvered around the environment for health and armor pickups. No, the significant change to Doom Eternal’s design and gameplay is, surprisingly, resource management. The only problem with the parkour lies in the wall climbing, which was finicky during the demo. It’s all good fun, especially when using these moves to dart around an arena quickly. These moves can be combined to traverse large crevices, swing off poles and wall climb.
From double-jumping to double-dashing, the Slayer has all the tools needed to traverse Hell. For the most part, though, if you played Doom, you know the excellent set of weapons you’re getting with Doom Eternal.Įternal also brings back all the Slayer’s parkour moves. Meanwhile, the Plasma Rifle’s gotten a new makeover. For example, the Super Shotgun has a ‘Meat Claw’ that pulls your Doom Slayer right into enemies for an easy shot. The vast array of weaponry is back with some getting new designs and functionality. Based on our lengthy session of the game at E3 2019, the answer is to make each arena more frantic and get players to use their tools more strategically.Įverything you loved about Doom is here. For 2019’s Doom Eternal, however, the question is how id Software can improve on that formula. It was a near perfect formula for mayhem back in 2016. In-between arenas players could explore the world, perform parkour and collect hidden secrets. Doom gave players all weapons to use all the time, large open arenas and tons of demons to slay.
Doom 2016 brought the franchise back into the mainstream by embracing old school mechanics and tossing out modern-day mechanics.
