Take Glory Kills, for instance – gore-drenched executions that can be pulled off when close to stunned enemies.Ī Glory Killed enemy will drop more health for you to collect, which incentivises you to use this ability when flagging. These runes, while equipped, give you a permanent ability boost, such as increasing the amount of control you have over your mid-air movement.įinally, the gameplay has been tweaked to add more involvement to combat. Occasionally, you’ll also come across timed challenge areas that set you a tricky weapon-specific task in a separate arena, rewarding you with runes should you manage to pull it off. Weapons, armour and your character can be modified and upgraded to better deal with the increase in enemy difficulty, and completing a host of level-specific challenges (stuff along the lines of “find three secrets” or “kill five Imps with mid-air attacks”) help speed up this progression.
But it’s far more than an ancient game given new levels and shinier, sharper graphics: id has implemented a bunch of changes that bring Doom into line with today’s shooters.
