Chapter 1 - Village of Khalim | DOOM: The Dark Ages | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary, 4K

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel set before the events of DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, plunging players into the early life of the Doom Slayer. This "techno-medieval" first-person shooter chronicles his rise as the ultimate weapon against Hell, in a world where ancient lore intertwines with brutal combat. The game promises a heavier, more grounded combat experience, introducing the versatile Shield Saw, new melee weapons like the Power Gauntlet, and even pilotable vehicles such as a cybernetic dragon. Chapter 1, "Village of Khalim," serves as an immersive tutorial, reacquainting players with the essence of demon slaying. The level kicks off with basic combat using the Combat Shotgun, quickly transitioning to the integral role of the Shield Saw. Players learn to block incoming fire, but more importantly, master the aggressive Shield Charge, a crucial maneuver for closing distances, inflicting explosive damage, and clearing environmental obstacles. As the Doom Slayer navigates the ravaged village, the modern iteration of Glory Kills, "Executions," is introduced. Dazed enemies, marked by a purple icon, become vulnerable to these instant, resource-generating kills. The chapter strategically doles out new mechanics and weapons: the Power Gauntlet, a potent melee tool, and the Shredder machine gun. Exploration is encouraged, with six secret areas and five collectibles hidden throughout the decaying landscape. Players will parry Hell Surges, green projectiles that can be reflected back at their source, and engage new foes like the formidable Pinky Rider. The climax of Khalim sees the Slayer defending a beach, utilizing a powerful turret to decimate waves of demons. The ultimate objective is to charge and unleash energy bolts at a colossal distant Titan, an epic finale that signifies the chapter's completion and sets the stage for the horrors yet to come in Hebeth. This introductory chapter successfully establishes the game's brutal combat loop and its distinct medieval aesthetic, preparing players for the relentless war ahead.
