Zombies will just wander around causing little to no threat Imps are much more aggressive and fast moving and play a big role in contributing to the chaos of Doom’s battle arenas. This way you’ll never find yourself floating up the River Styx without an ammo clip.įor the most part, the presence of these ever-respawning demons is fine. Thankfully the saw will auto recharge one bar of fuel which you can use against fodder demons who now continuously respawn until you’ve dispersed with the larger beasts in the area.
That means you’ll be ripping and tearing with it much more often this can only be a good thing. This brutal machine is once again used against your enemies to top up your ammo supplies, though in Eternal ammo is much more scarce. On the other hand, the chainsaw is an absolute necessity from the moment you start the campaign. Until you discover that it’s useful for instantly removing armour from the Cyber Mancubus, the Blood Punch will serve little purpose. The same applies to the new Blood Punch attack which has a meter that fills up with each glory kill. In the first half - especially if you’re playing on Hurt Me Plenty (aka medium) difficulty - you’re likely to forget it’s there at all. In the latter stages of the game, you’ll find the use of the Flame Belch an absolute necessity. Finish them off while they’re cooking and they’ll drop a lot. Start burning enemies, and they’ll drop a little bit of armour. In the past, you needed Glory Kills for health and to chainsaw enemies for ammo Doom Eternal takes things further with the addition of the shoulder-mounted Flame Belch flamethrower. The crux of the Doom franchise (except for maybe Doom 3) has always been about blowing demons away, and Eternal’s predecessor captured that perfectly while ingeniously adding some challenge and opportunities for creativity. Some of these additions should be well received, and others not so much. Where the Doom of four years ago focused on a back-to-basics approach of just shooting things, Eternal has added depth to the story, a much brighter colour palette, and more features and complexity to the gunplay. It’s much faster, far larger, the difficulty has been ramped up, there’s twice as many demons to brutally disembowel and the whole experience is absolutely intense. The chainsaw giveth, and the chainsaw taketh away.ĭoom Eternal takes every aspect of 2016’s Doom and tries to better it.
