Chapter 1 - Village of Khalim (Short 3), DOOM: The Dark Ages

DOOM: The Dark Ages plunges players into a brutal, techno-medieval prequel, chronicling the Doom Slayer's early war against Hell. Chapter 1, "Village of Khalim," reintroduces players to visceral combat and new mechanics. The Slayer begins by dispatching demon fodder with the Combat Shotgun, quickly learning to wield his shield for both defense and aggressive Shield Charges that break through enemies and environmental barriers. Executions, the game's evolution of Glory Kills, are vital for resource replenishment, triggered when foes are "Dazed." Early encounters with Imp Stalkers and Soldiers hone these skills. The Power Gauntlet, a potent melee weapon, soon joins the arsenal, allowing for strategic ammo drops. Exploration is key, with six secret areas hidden throughout Khalim, offering valuable Life Sigils and collectibles like toys and weapon skins. Players navigate burning ruins, use Shield Charges on marked planks, and master parrying Hell Surges back at enemies. The formidable Pinky Rider is introduced, demanding precise parries and Executions. Finding the Blue Key unlocks new paths, including a secret area with a toy. The chapter culminates in clearing four Demonic Portals, each guarded by hordes of escalating difficulty. The Shredder, a rapid-fire weapon, aids in these encounters. Finally, the Slayer defends a beach with a turret, culminating in a cinematic battle against a distant Titan, setting the stage for the relentless war ahead.
