DOOM: The Dark Ages Fans Split Over Missing Glory Kills

"Doom: Dark Ages" has put fans in a medieval-style controversy. What is the biggest problem? The iconic "Glory Kill" in Doom 2016 and Doom: Eternal are either missing or weakened. Fans are very enthusiastic about those exaggerated demon execution animations.

Controversy Focus

In the trailer released at the Xbox Developer Showcase, Doom: Dark Ages presents a dark fantasy setting full of medieval atmosphere. This is a prequel that connects the bridge between the ancient demon slaughter and the events of Doom 2016. But the lack of the jaw-dropping, blood-rejuvenating, heart-raising glory kills from the first two games has made some fans feel unhappy.

Reasons for the dissatisfaction of fans

Glory kills aren't just about style (although they're very stylish). They are also a tactical lifeline:

• Stun the enemy, rush up, and execute the cruel ending skill.
• Collect blood packets during this process.
• Pure satisfaction from tearing and crushing the demon.

In Doom: Eternal, you can't even complete certain boss battles unless you do a glorious kill. So removing or weakening them in Dark Ages feels like a heavy punch to some players.

Player voice

r/Doom subreddit has become a battlefield of opinions:

• One user posted a clip of a glorious kill on the Hell Knight, which looked... plain. It's not as bloody as it used to be, it's more like Doom politely removing the demon from the field.
• Some fans, such as user Toucaan_Froot, believe that killing lacks the "power" of previous games, requiring more torn demons and impact images. (Translation: Make it bloodier.)
• Others, such as ThespainException, have adopted a "wait and see" attitude, believing that id Software will deliver satisfactory works.

A positive aspect?

Not everyone feels sorry for the lack of Glory Kill:

• Some fans are excited about the smoother battle promised in Dark Ages.
• An optimistic Reddit user pointed out that tearing off the Hell Knight's arms and reducing their attack power in battle sounds like an interesting and strategic change. Who needs a chance to breathe when you can dismember the demon in battle?

Subsequent

While the lack of old-fashioned glory kills may feel like a missed opportunity, Doom: Dark Ages can still provide the adrenaline-boosting action experience fans are expecting. Whether it’s beheading demons or tearing their limbs apart, the game’s dark fantasy vibe may bring some freshness to the series.

So, is Dark Ages destined to be disappointing, or will id Software prove the skeptics wrong? One thing is for sure: Doom has a lot of work to do.
