The objective behind the development of DOOM: The Dark Ages is to maximize its accessibility to a broad audience. In comparison to previous id Software projects, this installment offers significantly more customization options. According to executive producer Marty Stratton, the studio aimed to create a game that could be enjoyed by as many players as possible. This includes the ability to adjust not only the difficulty and damage output of enemies but also the speed of projectiles, the amount of damage players receive, and other gameplay elements such as tempo, aggression level, and parry timing.
Stratton also assured fans that the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal are designed to be comprehensible even if players have not experienced DOOM: The Dark Ages beforehand.
